TWITTER OWNER ELON Musk appears to have suggested he will replace the social media platform’s bird logo with an X. The Tesla and SpaceX founder, who bought the company in October, tweeted this morning: “And soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds”, before quickly adding: “If a good enough X logo is posted tonight, we’ll make go live worldwide tomorrow”. And soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 23, 2023Thousands of users replied to Musk with design suggestions before the 52-year-old shared a short video of an X with a flickering background.
