Elon Musk reveals new name for Twitter; Tweets to be renamed ‘X’

Live Mint  

Twitter owner Elon Musk Sunday said he plans to rebrand the platform and do away with the iconic brand logo. Musk has hinted at replacing the familiar blue bird logo with a new symbol, probably something that resembles his all-time favourite "X." A Twitter account called WOLF asked him, ''What will be the new name for a tweet once Twitter changes its name to X?'' He bought Twitter last year for $44 billion and merged the company into an entity called X Corp. To another user he stated that users will not be called "Xers," and remarked, “We will have no name." He wants to build on his ultimate vision of the X “everything app", similar to China's WeChat, offering services including mobile payments and social media under one umbrella.
