Twitter Boss Elon Musk revealed that soon he would rebrand the social platform by changing its “bird” logo to an “X”.
Mr. Musk, who already changed the business's name to X Corp, said the replacement should have been done long ago.

“Twitter made one massive impression and changed the way we communicate. Now X will go further transforming the global town square, X will connect us all in ways we’re just beginning to imagine”, Yaccarino tweeted.
