Elon Musk, the multibillionaire who controls Twitter, said the social network he took over in October 2022 will be renamed “X”
Soon we shall bid adieu to the Twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds,” Musk wrote in a late-night Saturday post. He also said the platform’s website will be run off the x.com domain name
In April 2023, the company disclosed that Musk had changed the company’s name from Twitter Inc. to X Corp., which is incorporated in Nevada with its main place of business San Francisco.
The name change to X has been on Musk’s mind since before he officially got his hands on Twitter. On Oct. 4, 2022,
Twitter, launched in 2006, has used a bird as it mascot since 2008 and the current design of the Twitter Bird logo was introduced in 2012.
Per Musk, you won’t be posting tweets on his social platform, you will be throwing up… “x’s.”
And Musk is obviously a huge fan of X ambiguous variable - i.e., SpaceX; the Tesla Model X; his new artificial intelligence venture, xAI; the original name of PayPal as X.com; and even one of his kids, nicknamed X (short for “X Æ A-XII”).
