Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Elon Musk has unveiled a new black and white “X” logo to replace Twitter’s famous blue bird as he follows through with a major rebranding of the social media platform he bought for $44 billion last year.<\/p>\n

Musk replaced his own Twitter icon with a white X on a black background and posted a picture on Monday of the design projected on Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters.<\/p>\n

The X started appearing on the top of the desktop version of Twitter on Monday, but the bird was still dominant across the phone app.<\/p>\n

Musk had asked fans for logo ideas and chose one, which he described as minimalist Art Deco, saying it “certainly will be refined.”<\/p>\n

“And soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds,” Musk tweeted Sunday.<\/p>\n

The billionaire is CEO of rocket company Space Exploration Technologies Corp., commonly known as SpaceX. And in 1999, he founded a startup called X.com, an online financial services company now known as PayPal.<\/p>\n

The X.com web domain now redirects users to Twitter.com, Musk said.<\/p>\n

In response to questions about what tweets would be called when the rebranding is done, Musk said they would be called Xs.<\/p>\n
