"Twitter owner Elon Musk officially changed the company's famous bird logo to an 'X' on Monday as part of a sweeping rebrand he announced on the social media site over the weekend.
Musk, who acquired the platform for $44 billion late last year, wrote in a post Sunday that the company would soon 'bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds.' As of Monday, the domain X.com directs users to Twitter's homepage, though Twitter.com also remains live. Branding in the mobile app has not changed for many users yet."

I can’t comprehend how he could be dumb enough to come up with such a ridiculous name such as “X” for Twitter as well as that cryptic ass name for his son! Someone give him a nomination for a “Biggest Dumbass of All Time” award! 🥇🥇🥇🥇 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Elon Musk: "All of these rooms are made of asbestos by the way, keeps out the rats. Just let me know if you feel a shortness of breath, a persistent dry cough, or your hot stopping. That's not a part of the job, that's asbestos."
@JohnKlar Says:
14 minutes of x shaming how boring I fell asleep
strategy behind it is genious though because it is a good strategy
@billyvandervoet7080 Says:
Everyone said Elon Musk couldn’t do Tesla or SpaceX!!! He’s one of the most Intelligent Humans and makes his dreams reality. Look at Starlink, bringing free Internet to Millions of people in Ukrainian, nobody else did that. If anyone hates on Elon it’s because they are jealous, ignorant, probably a Biden supporter, no common sense and definitely can’t make their own dreams a reality.
@SergioLeRoux Says:
Imagine paying 44 billion dollars for a word, and then hitting backspace until it's gone.
@jking3892 Says:
I just don't understand why he even bought Twitter to begin with, and why not let it be and simply start the X company on the side ,,
@davidhess6593 Says:
I didn't subscribe to X.
I subscribed to Twitter.
*UNINSTALL*
@davidhess6593 Says:
Is Twitter only for adults now?
@davidhess6593 Says:
This is Elon's version of New Coke combined with Bud Lite.
@sophialillian8508 Says:
No wonder why he named it X, he has plenty of them.
@angelicaw7389 Says:
I miss old twitter and x is a horrible name 🙄
@gmedeiros5748 Says:
Reminds us of mr x of speed racer or the x files .
Genius pure genius .
@CelesteOnYoutube Says:
Funny... Elon does not even believe his own crap...
That's some motivation...
@simonelliot3712 Says:
*Let's all just keep calling it Twitter.* Elmo Musk would lose his ish daily over it.
@clara0822 Says:
Do you know what the letter “x”represents in Greek? Christ!! I absolutely believe Elon is the anti Christ! There is some reason he really loves the letter “x”! Don’t forget his father is Evil and has done EVERY evil thing imaginable. That’s what Elon said. Did the Apple fall far from the tree?
@T-Roy-X9b Says:
Videos will be called X videos WTF
@KrishnaGupta-oq4fo Says:
see he is so dump to buy a company for 40 billion just to rebrand it
@ivanbasic2339 Says:
EM Is a dumbass. I really believe he is dumb. Dumber then average humab
@tdya1 Says:
Twitter become shitter (Xitter)
@natesewell9402 Says:
Does anyone remember when Musk was still involved with Paypal and they had a habit of making unauthorized withdrawals from users bank accounts, withholding payments for payments they had processed for their users or simply refusing to pay out for extended periods, now Musk wants people to trust him for being involved with banking again?
@UAGalya Says:
Lol , I deleted app from my phone, did not realize what it is….😂can live without… I’m not getting it back to my phone
@sumerianliger Says:
Elon Musk is certainly an X man, alright. I'm still gonna call it Twitter though. No way am I saying "I re-Xed that X yesterday"
@samsmet3121 Says:
Funny
@diannshoemaker6419 Says:
Sadly, Musk is starting to remind me of Trump..."the stable genius"...This is what happens when you start believing your own hype...and frankly, they've both always been con artists. Musk is just much smarter...which wouldn't be hard...
@nolonger9112 Says:
Yup people say they can do better than him. But he is became billionaire build big companies while who said those are normal salary man. Wonder how alien will think those work mean when they look at situation compare to work.
@wyzrd777 Says:
Xvideo is already a brand...
@RyanCarter-MA-XXX Says:
Musk is no genius, he's just a douchebag
@NathanDavisVideos Says:
I guess we can say farewell to Twitter-excuse me, I mean "X." If Twitter wasn't already in a dumpster fire, whether or not under Elon Musk's ownership, it sure will be now!
@marcelbork92 Says:
What exactly is the POINT of this critique??
@dera_ng Says:
Tweet — x
Retweet — rex
😶🌫️ ✓ 🤡 ✓
X ?? ✓✓✓✓✓✓✓✓✓
@OnTheOnlyShipButHalfWannaSink Says:
X? Q? Only 24 more to go, and half the country will be able to have a 26-word calming meaningless conversation using single letters.
@alkaholic4848 Says:
4:18 lmao brilliant
@michaelmurray214 Says:
Might aswell have called it twiXter!! Lol
@jboomhauer Says:
Half of the global financial market? HAHAHAHAHA!!! If that comment doesn't show he is an idiot, I don't know what does.
@StreetHierarchy Says:
X = the placeholder for an idea
@SacredDirt Says:
Liberals crying are so pathetic.
@SacredDirt Says:
Cenk, utterly embarrassing himself. Also, Elon didn't buy twitter for a profit (which he will make much more than The young Twats), he did it to stand up for the basic human right of free speech.
@SacredDirt Says:
I work for a billionaire. Interesting that the young turks connections were involved with eppp 5t31n. This is why they attack. Funny world.
@cascadianseagull Says:
Threads is way better
@BroBlackWolf1 Says:
I recently deleted my Twitter.
@brendamitchell6179 Says:
Maybe he should have combined both and renamed it "Twi-X"...😏
@AntonyLusweti Says:
I get it you don't like Elon Musk, but seriously did you even do any research as to when he started to think about calling it X has how he wants to frame this new version of Twitter? I now totally agree with Elon Musk.... some points people say as if they are NPC characters in a simulation (No offense intended) if you had taken some time to research on this fairly you would have realised even as recently as a week ago his biography author Walter Isaac covered this topic in detail as extract from him up coming book. But I guess you want your narrative to push through..... I get it now. name calling and smear campaign is what it is or I am wrong?
@thepixelcatcher Says:
Delusions of grandeur, as always. If I won the lottery tomorrow I could be a millionaire. No shit. PS: I deactivated my Twitter/X account today.
@punpck Says:
0:30 you have no clue like (almost) anybody else. He obviously has given up on saving twitter how it was and the only chance he seems to see to prevent running out of money is to rebrand it and make huge promises that X will be someting totally different and muskish big "take over 50% of all financial services". Big plans for big investors.
@athews1976 Says:
Wait wait wait, Elon Musk is 52ys old!? 😳 OMG, I would've never guessed he was older than me. I'm like, WTF! He acts so childish! WOW!
@athews1976 Says:
So they're still calling them "tweets?" Why not call them xit's? 💩
😆 *Sh!t's,* get it!? Oh, the Irony. Before Musk got his hands on it, we were "tweeting." Now we're *"sh!ting"* 'cause Twitter is literally 💩now. 🤭😁
