Dunno, maybe something to do with Space X, maybe Elon just likes the letter X.

Probably because Musk is a incel/autist.

XXX Messages? Also the logo for Twitter was pretty iconic too, not the best move unless he is trying to move away from Twitter's image and rebrand to get more people to return.

This.

The Twitter logo was a classic. It matched perfect with the overall theme of the site, and that retard ruined it with some cringe tech theme.

When I was a kid I got excited about videos that had X Rated on em. Could care less about a stupid bird. Gen x is greatest generation. X marks the spot for a treasure. When u divorce, the bitch called an X. Everything, good is associated with X

The logo is crap but it is how branding works. The bird is associated with the old platform which was liberal infested shythole. People associate themselves with symbols and no-one who isn't a liberal will want to take part of anything related to old twitter, so yeah branding change.

if you don't get what I mean, think of the NAZI flag which was GOAT but had to be changed

Still logo is shyt but probably on purpose, it made people talk.

Nah, the logo might not be everyone's cup of tea, but that's just how branding does its thing, you know? That bird used to be all over the old platform, which was kind of a mess with a bunch of different vibes. People tend to connect with symbols, and those who ain't really into that liberal stuff wouldn't wanna mess with anything from the old Twitter era. So, yup, they went for a branding makeover.

And hey, if you're not catching my drift, think about that NAZI flag – iconic, but they had to give it a makeover too.

Yeah, the logo might be a bit... well, not the best, but honestly, it's like they wanted to stir the pot on purpose. Got everyone chattering about it, didn't it?

He has obsessed with creating some universal perfect app called X for quite some time. My guess he's trying to turn Twitter into that. The twitter buy was bad and so was rebrand. He should've learned from ******** that rebranding doesn't do any good.

U.S. still way behind the curve. There's also AliPay which has been around longer than WeChat. AliPay was 2003 and Wechat was 2011. AliPay has the same features as WeChat. ApplePay is supposed to be similar but doesn't have the in app functions that the others have.

Because Musk is an autist that has a weird fascination with the letter X. Thats really all there is to it. There is no marketing reason for it and it doesn't even stand for anything. He just likes the letter X.

just look at what he named his son.

I read something along the lines of Elon Musk looking to change the old Twitter name, which many thought poorly of due to their censorship, to a company that offers several different serves and is more in favor of free speech. He felt it was better to rename the company along the lines of his already SpaceX firm.

Makes sense because labeling it X does not. I don’t care don’t use it but the bird and tweets made more sense then some random letter.
