Elon Musk Bids ‘Adieu’ to ‘All the Birds’ While Hinting at Changes to Twitter’s Logo
Elon Musk teased a broad number of changes to Twitter over the weekend, not the least of which was his apparent plan to change the social media platform’s bird logo.
The Twitter owner hinted that cosmetic changes could be coming as early as Sunday morning, particularly when he told followers “And soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds.”
He clarified what he meant two minutes later, saying “If a good enough X logo is posted tonight, we’ll make go live worldwide tomorrow.”
Musk continued to lean into the “X” theme, tweeting and retweeting numerous posts in favor of the concept.
As the owner of Tesla and SpaceX, Musk commenced with Twitter’s rebranding before, changing its business name to X Corp and temporarily changing the platform’s bird logo to the dogecoin dog.
