New benchmark
As Musk officially rebrands Twitter as X Corp, he leaves little doubt about his determination to reshape the digital landscape. Musk even changed his profile picture to the new emblem and added “X.com” to his Twitter bio, leaving enthusiasts and critics alike intrigued about his grand plan.
With the X logo formally taking over and Twitter’s blue bird fading into history, Musk’s relentless innovation has the scope of becoming a benchmark for comprehensive platforms in the near future, shaping the way we experience the digital world.
