X.com Now Points To Twitter.com: Elon Musk

Elon Musk on Sunday announced that the x.com URL will now be directed to the microblogging website Twitter. He also said that the interm X logo will go live later in the day.

iexclusivenews reports that the announcement comes hours after Musk said that he plans to change the logo of Twitter to an “X” from the famous blue bird.

This would be the latest big change since the billionaire bought the social media platform for $44 billion last year.

In a series of posts on his Twitter account starting just after 12am ET, Twitter’s owner said that he’s looking to make the change worldwide as soon as Monday.

“And soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds,” Musk wrote on his account.

The change isn’t surprising given Musk’s long history with the name “X,” says Allen Adamson, co-founder of marketing consultancy Metaforce.

The billionaire Tesla CEO tweeted last October that “buying Twitter is an accelerant to creating X, the everything app.”
