Quite recently, we reported that Elon Musk announced a major change for today. He announced that the ‘X’ rebrand is happening, and that Twitter is becoming a thing of the past. That’s exactly what just happened, ‘X’ has landed, and we can all wave goodbye to Twitter.
The ‘X’ rebrand has started, bye bye Twitter
Do note that the change has started appearing for users, though it may take a bit of time for you to see it on the site/app. A new logo is here too, as announced earlier by the Twitter CEO, in addition to a new name.
The change has started appearing on the web version first, by the way. The update for the app will probably come via an app update, though a server-side change may also take care of it, we’ll see.
This is the first major step towards the ‘everything app’ that Elon Musk so much desires. He bought Twitter back in November, and made a ton of changes thus far. Many of them were not exactly popular.
The Twitter logo and name are a thing of the past
The beloved Twitter logo and name are now becoming a thing of the past, and are being replaced by a rather cold-looking X logo. Elon Musk allegedly informed its employees of the change too, yesterday.
He told them that the change is coming, and that he was sending the very last email from the Twitter.com domain. X.com is taking over, as the rebrand is taking place as we speak.
We’ll probably get more info throughout the day, as we’re expecting either the company or Elon Musk to speak more about the change, perhaps even both, we’ll have to wait and see.
For the time being, all we’re seeing is the new logo and name change happening on the web. Let’s see what else will happen during the day, if anything.
