Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who bought the popular social platform Twitter last year, wants to change its name.
Twitter could get a total makeover and a new name, “X”, as announced in a series of tweets. Let’s remember that the billionaire had previously expressed his interest in turning Twitter into a “superapp”.
Elon Musk asked users for a “good enough X logo” and would be ready to change the Twitter logo today sunday. It sounds like you were impressed by one of the logos shared by a Tesla investor on the platform.
Musk also did a survey asking users whether to change the default platform color to black. Remember that the company name X Corp. was registered in March as the parent organization of Twitter.

The name also appeared in the Google and Apple app stores as the organization that distributed the Twitter app.
In another tweet confirming the rebranding, Musk said: “And soon we will say goodbye to the Twitter brand and gradually to all the birds.”
The decision is not surprising considering Elon Musk’s previous statements. Whether he will follow through on his claim to adopt a new logo for X Corp remains to be seen. until Sunday.
