Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter, has said that the platform's iconic bird emblem will be changed to an "X." This would be the most recent in a string of divisive changes to the social media network that he has overseen.
Musk tweeted, “X.com now points to Twitter.com. Interim X logo goes live later today.” Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino described ‘X’ as, 'the future state of unlimited interactivity – centred in audio, video, messaging, payments/banking – creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities. Powered by AI, X will connect us all in ways we’re just beginning to imagine.'
This was expected because Musk has always had a fondness for the letter 'X.' It all started in 1999 when he co-founded X.com, an online bank that merged with another start-up to become PayPal.
Users are responding to Twitter's new oddly chosen logo in various ways. Let’s check out a few memes that users have shared.
