Twitter has undergone a major rebranding, changing its name and logo to “X.” This bold move was initiated by none other than Elon Musk, who followed through on his promise to transform the social media giant. The familiar white bird icon and blue background have been completely replaced, and Twitter will now be known simply as “X.”
Musk, known for his visionary thinking, sees X as the future state of unlimited interactivity. He envisions a platform centered on audio, video, messaging, and payments/banking, creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities. Powered by AI, X aims to connect people in ways that are just beginning to be imagined.
To announce this monumental change, Musk re-X’d his new CEO’s statement, emphasizing that X is an opportunity to make another big impression. He believes that while Twitter made a massive impression and revolutionized communication, X will go even further in transforming the global town square.
Linda Yaccarino, the CEO Musk appointed, shares his vision for X. She believes that X will be the future of unlimited interactivity and will connect people worldwide. Through AI-driven technology, X will create a platform for exchanging ideas, selling goods and services, and unlocking opportunities that were previously unimaginable.

Although the name and logo have changed, the actual site and app’s design, function, and format remain largely the same. Users will still recognize remnants of the old Twitter, like the “Search Twitter” text in the search bar. Even retweets are still labeled as such. It remains to be seen if further changes and a relaunch will occur in the coming days.
Musk has been hinting at this rebranding for some time, with official corporate documents involving the organization referencing X before the official announcement. The switch-up generated a lot of buzz, and Musk and his team made sure to spread the word about this major transformation.
The investors who joined forces to purchase Twitter for a staggering $44 billion earlier this year were previously known as X Corp. Now, with the rebranding, they will continue to operate under the name X Corp, aligning with the new identity of the platform.
Overall, the rebranding of Twitter to X represents a bold and ambitious move toward the future of social media and global connectivity. Musk and his team envision X as a revolutionary platform that will shape the way we interact, communicate, and engage with one another. With unlimited interactivity and AI-powered technology, X is poised to create a global marketplace that opens doors to countless opportunities. The future of social media has arrived, and its name is X.
