Elon Musk, the new owner of the social media platform, Twitter, surprised the world with an unexpected name and logo change for the platform.
Now, instead of Twitter, the social media network is calling itself “X,” and its new logo is simply an “X.” This radical change has left users perplexed and has generated a wave of mixed opinions on social media.
The announcement of the transformation was made without prior warning, and within hours, the old blue bird symbol, synonymous with Twitter, became a thing of the past.
The objective behind this drastic overhaul seems to be the revitalization of the brand, as Musk has been clear about the financial difficulties the social media network was facing.
With the name change also comes a modification in the terminology used by users. The term “tweet,” which used to refer to posts on Twitter, will now be replaced by “Xeet.”
However, the tycoon appears to have a well-thought-out plan for the platform. It has been mentioned that the goal is to turn the social media network into a kind of super app similar to WeChat in China.
This super app would function as a traditional social network but would also offer the possibility of conducting financial transactions and online purchases, among other functionalities, making it an all-in-one tool for users.
With the new name and the ambitious plan to become a super app, “X” aims to position itself as a leading option in the world of social media and beyond.
While it remains to be seen how users and the market will receive these changes, there is no doubt that Elon Musk is determined to take Twitter to new heights.
