Elon Musk Announces Twitter's Logo Overhaul and Bird Farewell

Elon Musk announced on Twitter that he plans to change Twitter's logo, replacing the iconic blue bird with an X, as part of his vision to create an "everything app" called X.

Twitter's advertising revenue has declined, and it now faces competition from Meta's Threads.
