Twitter Has Changed Completely
Since the foundation of the company in 2005, the microblogging company has been known to all by its blue bird symbol. The name of the site is also a reference to the sound made by birds. The posts made by users were also referred to as tweets. However, all of that will be changed by Elon Musk.
Elon Musk has been dropping hints on Twitter itself about the changes. Today the Tesla owner tweeted, “X.com now points to Twitter.com. Interim X logo will go live later today.” Musk also said that the new vision he has for Twitter is more of an “everything app“.
He also revealed a picture of the Twitter bird over a black and white marbled background and suggested a similar logo but with X. Musk further said why he wanted to rebrand the site to X. “To embody the imperfections in us all that make us unique.”

Never seen anyone blow billions of dollars so ineptly. Think of all the good you could have done in the world. Instead you bought a globally recognized brand, then changed everything, (including the name which is likely mostly what you paid for) … to…
there’s probably a bit of brand value in the fact that a significant % of the world’s population knows what a “tweet” is

not gunna lie, throwing away 15 years+ of brand recognition and owning a verb 'tweeting',
