The switch from Twitter blue bird to the white and black X

The switch from the blue bird to the white and black X happened over the weekend of July 24, however Variety explains that the 24th letter of the English alphabet has been in Musk’s mind for a while. The South African-born billionaire, which bought the social media company in a very contentious deal in 2022, has decided to pluck the blue bird out of social media. Musk, who is the most followed profile in the social media platform previously known as Twitter, tweeted (or “x’d”) out logo suggestions. The minimalistic blue bird has now been replaced with a black and white X, which seems more fitting for an adult entertainment website than a social media platform. Was this catastrophic misstep in turning Twitter into ‘X’?
