鈥淎nd soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds,鈥� Musk wrote on his account.

The change isn't surprising given Musk's says Allen Adamson, co-founder of marketing consultancy Metaforce. The billionaire Tesla CEO tweeted last October that 鈥渂uying Twitter is an accelerant to creating X, the everything app.鈥�

Musk’s rocket company, Space Exploration Technologies Corp., is commonly known as SpaceX. And in 1999, Musk founded a startup called , an online financial services company now known as PayPal.

鈥淣ot sure what subtle clues gave it way, but I like the letter X,鈥� Musk tweeted Sunday.

Hours later on Sunday, Linda Yaccarino, the longtime NBC Universal executive Musk appointed as Twitter in May, weighed in on the move.

鈥淚t鈥檚 an exceptionally rare thing 鈥� in life or in business 鈥� that you get a second chance to make another big impression,鈥� she wrote on . 鈥淭witter made one massive impression and changed the way we communicate. Now, X will go further, transforming the global town square.鈥�

Yaccarino that X would be 鈥渢he future state of unlimited interactivity 鈥� centered in audio, video, messaging, payments/banking 鈥� creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities.鈥�

But the change on Twitter was met with skepticism on the social media platform.

The change will be very confusing to a huge chunk of the Twitter's audience, which has been already souring on the social platform given a slew of other major changes Musk has made, Adamson said.

鈥淭hey won't get it,鈥� he said. 鈥淚t's a fitting end to a phenomenal unwinding of an iconic brand and business.鈥�

Earlier this month, Musk put on his digital town square, a move that met with sharp criticism it could drive away more advertisers and undermine its cultural influence as a trendsetter.

The higher tweet-viewing threshold is part of an that Musk rolled out earlier this year in an attempt to boost Twitter revenue. Revenue has dropped sharply since Musk took over the company and to slash costs and avoid bankruptcy.

Luring advertisers is essential for Musk and Twitter after many after his takeover of the social media platform, fearing damage to their brands in the enveloping chaos. Advertisers have cut back on spending partly because of changes Musk has made that has allowed for more hateful content to flourish and that has a wider part of the platform's audience.

Musk said in late April that , but provided no specifics.

Musk's move to change Twitter's logo to an 鈥淴鈥� also comes as Twitter faces new competition from Meta's new app, launched earlier this month. It has been seen as an alternative for those who have been upset with Twitter.

Threads is being billed as a text-based version of Meta鈥檚 photo-sharing app Instagram that the company has said offers 鈥渁 new, separate space for real-time updates and public conversations.鈥�

In the first five days of its launch, 100 million people had signed up for Threads, according to a post on Threads by Instagram head Adam Mosseri.
