    this is an ex-bird

    its ceased to Twit!

    Elon Musk announces he will officially rebrand Twitter to 'X' from TODAY after ditching the platform's iconic blue bird logo
    • The announcement from the Twitter CEO comes hours after he announced the site's famous bird logo would be changing to an X, possibly as soon as Monday
    • He hinted the symbol came as part of a larger rebrand of the entire platform , and could be implemented as soon tomorrow, as he searches for the right design
    • Hours later, as onlookers online continued to debate the news and its legitimacy, Musk, 52, made it clear he was serious - revealing a URL redirect is now in place
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

      Ages ago he wanted to rename paypal to X.com and he got kicked out as CEO I think. I can see a pattern here...

        Sounds nuts. X in a website title suggests porn. Not that I'd know of course.

          No it was the other way around, X.com was renamed to Paypal!
          • X.com was an online bank co-founded by Elon Musk in 1999
          • In June 2001, a year after a merger with Peter Thiel's Confinity, X.com was renamed PayPal

          In 2017 Musk bought back the domain name X.com from PayPal.

            HBO Max and Bud Light breathe a sigh of relief that they are no longer front runners for worst branding decision of 2023.

              I knew that I'd seen that logo somewhere before: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System
