Twitter is transforming into X, as the site’s former bird logo has now been replaced by an official new X logo. Elon Musk, who owns the transformed social media site, began signaling the change early Sunday morning with a series of tweets, starting with one that said, “and soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds.”

Musk is one of the biggest cretins I have ever witnessed. Why is he destroying an easily identified, well known brand logo and replacing it with an X?

I wonder what the equivalent to a “tweet” is going to be.

They really need to be referred to as xits, with people xitting all over the place. There's a solid argument to be made that the platform has been full of xit for a while now, actually.

He's already said tweets will now be known as X's.

Great isn't it?

"Sending an X", which can be abbreviated to "sex."

‘Shut yo mouth, I’m not “Tweeting” at you, I’m X-ing’

Yeah its such a dumb rebrand and he tried to call Paypal ‘x.com’ too. Musk is as creative as moth shit.

Sir, I represent Moth Shit Local 454 and we take offense to such characterization.

Because he's obsessed with bringing back his old brand and turning Twitter into a social instant payment Paypal/Twitter hybrid.
