AMMAN — On Monday "Twitter"
changed its name and profile picture on their official account from the iconic
bird to the letter "X."

Under Elon Musk's boisterous leadership of
the platform since he acquired it last October, the company changed its
business name to "X Corp," reflecting the billionaire's vision of
developing a "super app" similar to the Chinese app
"WeChat," Nabd News reported.
The logo that had accompanied
"Twitter" since its inception, the white bird on a blue background,
has been removed from the account, which is followed by 65 million users. The
previous logo was described on Twitter's website in the past as "the most
distinctive of our assets," and it was added, "for this reason, we
protect it fiercely."
Musk’s promiseIt seems that this is a first step in
fulfilling Musk's promise to change the platform's name and logo.
On Sunday Musk polled his millions of
followers on the platform on whether they would favour changing the site’s
colour scheme from blue to black in preparation for this choice.
In the early hours of Monday morning, Elon
Musk changed his personal Twitter account picture, replacing his usual image
with the letter "X," and
tweeted a single letter, which was the same letter "X."
He tweeted: "We will soon say goodbye
to the Twitter brand, and gradually all the birds."
Since Musk’s purchase of the platform many
have been critical due to charges introduced for previously free services,
changes to content moderation, and the return of previously banned right-wing
accounts. Musk said earlier this month that Twitter has lost roughly half of
its advertising revenue since he took control in October.
The bird logo was temporarily changed in
April to an image of the Shiba Inu dog from the cryptocurrency
"Dogecoin," which helped increase the currency's market value by four
billion dollars.
