Elon Musk is as soon as once more making a ineffective change, and Twitter will now not be recognized by its alias, “The Chicken App.”
Musk introduced that the app would change its model’s iconic emblem to an ‘X’ in a sequence of tweets long-established along with his traditional cryptic-but-still-lame vibe, together with one tweet that simply confirmed off a shiny X. Ultimately, he tweeted that “quickly we will bid adieu to the twitter model and, regularly, all of the birds.” He adopted that up along with his imaginative and prescient for the X.

This is not an enormous shock, as Musk has made sillier and extra damaging adjustments to Twitter and he’s obsessive about the letter X. He modified the title of Twitter’s guardian firm to X Corp. He began launched an AI startup known as xAI. He mentioned shopping for Twitter could be a part of his staff to construct “X, the every part app.” There’s a Tesla Mannequin X automotive, and he famously named one in all his youngsters X AE A-XII.
However it’s sort of a wild factor to do. The fowl is without doubt one of the most recognizable elements of the app. The phrase “tweet” does not make sense with out the fowl; the egg profile images are weird with out it; the fowl is integral to the title Twitter itself. It is arguably one of many greatest advertising selections he is made since shopping for the platform for $44 billion final yr — in response to Constancy, Twitter is now value one-third what Musk paid.
Whereas most Twitter customers do not seem offended on the choice, many have reacted with quite a lot of “WTF is that this?” and “Why?” responses.
