JAKARTA - On Sunday, July 23, Elon Musk announced his intention to change the Twitter logo. He tweeted: "And soon we will say goodbye to the Twitter brand and, gradually, all birds."

In a post on the site at 12:06 a.m. ET, the owner of the social media platform who is also a billionaire added: "If the pretty good logo X is posted tonight, we will activate it globally tomorrow."

And soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds

Musk posted a blank "X" image, and then in an audio chat on Twitter Spaces, he replied "Yes" when asked if the Twitter logo would change, adding that "this should have been done for a long time."

Under Musk's leadership since buying Twitter in October, the company has changed its business name to X Corp, reflecting the billionaire's vision of creating "super apps" like WeChat in China. But Twitter itself did not immediately respond to requests for comment from various media.

The Twitter website states that the company's logo describing a blue bird is "the most easily recognized asset we." "That's why we protect it so much," he added.

The bird was temporarily replaced by Dogecoin's Shiba Inu dog in April, which helped drive the market value spike in the meme coin.

The company received widespread criticism from marketing users and professionals when Musk announced earlier this month that Twitter would limit how many tweets it could read by various accounts every day.

The daily limit helps Meta's growth in rival services, namely Threads, which reached more than 100 million registrations within five days of launch.

Twitter's latest combination is a lawsuit filed on Tuesday claiming that the company owes it at least $500 million in severance pay payments to former employees.

Since Musk acquired it, the company has laid off more than half of its employees to reduce costs
