Twitter owner (or X owner, rather) Elon Musk is blowing up the blue bird and rebranding it under the name “X.” Musk’s move has left many Twitter users wondering what tweets will be called after the change.
“So now that Twitter has been rebranded to X, what are tweets called now?” Sawyer Merritt said in a tweet.
Musk replied: “X’s.”
“Instead of retweet, what’s the new name? ReX’d?” asked Tesla Owners Silicon Valley on the platform.
“That whole concept should be rethought,” Musk added.
From Fox Business:
Musk’s replies came as social media users reacted to design changes – including replacing the classic bird logo with the Musk X logo.
While revisions led to some harsh reaction – and the platform Mastodon trending once again – the bird logo remains on Twitter’s mobile version for now.
“[S]oon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds,” Musk tweeted on Sunday.
“This is not simply a company renaming itself, but doing the same thing. The Twitter name made sense when it was just 140-character messages going back and forth – like birds tweeting – but now you can post almost anything, including several hours of video,” Musk said.
Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino wrote in a series of tweets that the new logo represents “the future state of unlimited interactivity — centered in audio, video, messaging, payments/banking — creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services and opportunities.”
