As promised, so he did. On Monday at noon, Elon Musk officially changed the logo and name of Twitter. Now the social network is called X. Of the old blue shades and the characteristic bird in the logo, there is little left. Black and ubiquitous Xs dominate, and the platform is now headed to a new domain – x.com.
Elon Musk wasn’t joking. He’s really made a complete break with Twitter’s past
On Sunday, Elon Musk published a whole series of tweets suggesting that he intends to change the Twitter logo to one with the letter X. He also uploaded a short video presenting a potential logotype and announced that “if a good enough logo appears”, it will be published to the world on Monday. He also changed his profile picture to X. At night, some Internet users noticed that Musk’s x.com website began to redirect to Twitter.
Today it turned out that Elon Musk was definitely not joking. In the morning, he posted a picture of Twitter’s headquarters in San Francisco, which displayed a capital letter X. Around noon, the social network belonging to the eccentric billionaire changed beyond recognition. Of course, black and the ubiquitous white X letters dominate. This is the biggest change in the entire 17-year history of Twitter, which – although it changed its logotype several times – was always strongly associated with the characteristic blue bird.

It also seems that the rebranding has only just begun. Here and there (e.g. in the tweet we posted above in this article) the old Twitter logo still shows up. Musk also did not change the words “tweet” and “tweet” (to post on Twitter or “tweet”). In addition, the changes have so far affected only the browser version of the social network. In the App Store and Google Play, we can still find good old Twitter with a blue bird in the logo.
