On Sunday, Elon Musk unveiled his proposal to alter Twitter’s logo. He stated in a tweet that an “X” is probably going to take the place of the little blue birdie.
“And soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds,” Musk tweeted.
“If a good enough X logo is posted tonight, we’ll make go live worldwide tomorrow,” he said in another tweet.
A few hours later, Musk also tweeted an image of a flickering “X” shared by one of the users.
Musk’s tweets have garnered mixed reactions from netizens.
“Will miss little blue birdie,” a social media user commented.
“Waiting to see how X will look,” another one wrote.
The billionaire has had the name “X” on his mind for some time now.
Since Musk acquired Twitter in October, the company has changed its name to X Corp, reflecting the billionaire’s ambition to develop a “super app” akin to China’s WeChat, according to the New York Post. Musk previously shared a photo of himself making an “X” with his hands and stated that he liked the letter. He captioned the photo, “Not sure what subtle clues gave it away, but I like the letter X.”
