Elon Musk’s Twitter Rebrands to X

The hint has long been given but Musk has now made it official. Taking to his popular platform, he revealed that “..we shall bid adieu to the Twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds,” Musk tweeted. 

Following the announcement, Musk’s tweet has sparked a frenzy of speculations and interpretations, leaving the Twitter community wondering what lies ahead for the beloved social media platform and the enigmatic reference to the the Blue Bird.

Notably, Twitter made an announcement in April that it had officially rebranded itself to “X Corp.” The company communicated this transformative decision through official statements and emails sent to its business partners, shareholders, and related parties. 

The name change signifies a significant shift in the platform’s identity and reflects the company’s commitment to embracing a new era of innovation and growth. At the time, the company noted that the brand will continue to be known as Twitter, however, Musk has revealed the transition to a new domain, http://x.com.

Notably, this domain holds a sentimental connection to Elon Musk’s past, as it was registered by the entrepreneur in 1999 and was returned to him by PayPal a few years ago. The court filing at the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Miami Division, disclosed that X Corp. is based in Nevada rather than Delaware.
