Elon Musk reveals new ‘X’ logo to replace Twitter’s blue bird

LONDON (AP) – Elon Musk has unveiled a new “X” logo to replace Twitter’s famous blue bird as he follows through with a major rebranding of the social media platform he bought for $44 billion last year.

In response to questions about what tweets would be called when the rebranding is done, Musk said they would be called Xs.
