Twitter's CEO Linda Yaccarino confirmed the rebranding of the social media site to the single letter name "X," emphasizing that it will be "powered by AI." The platform has started replacing the iconic blue bird symbol with a new logo featuring a white "X" against a black background. According to Yaccarino, X will involve a "global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities." - Owner Elon Musk crowdsourced the new X logo and cited plans to move away from the Twitter brand and eventually phase out all bird-related imagery.
- Musk has expressed a vision for Twitter to become an "everything app" similar to China's WeChat, incorporating features like audio, video, messaging, and payments.
The letter "X" has been a recurring theme in Musk's ventures, including his new AI company xAI. - Although operating independently, xAI will collaborate with Musk's X Corp., which includes Twitter and Tesla.
- xAI plans to use Twitter data to train its AI models and may also partner with Tesla on AI software, improving its self-driving car capabilities.
