X.com is Musk's Dream
X.com has always been Musk's dream and regret. It was the name of Musk's second startup payment company, which was eventually acquired and merged into PayPal. Musk bought back the domain X.com in 2017. In October 2022, he stated that buying Twitter was to drive X, an app that encompasses everything. Musk has also analogized it to "WeChat" more than once, expressing his idea of building a super app. "X.com has a more grand vision, and I think Twitter helps accelerate it by three to five years."
See What Netizens Have in Mind
After Musk sought suggestions from netizens for the X logo, Binance founder CZ quickly released a yellow background with black X logo, which is actually extracted from a part of the Binance logo.

Twitter's New Logo "X" Revealed
Twitter's new CEO Linda Yaccarino later revealed the look of this logo, and Musk's profile picture has also been changed to the new logo:

X.com Domain Officially Redirected to Twitter.com
Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino stated:
X is the future state of infinite interactivity - creating a global marketplace of ideas, goods, services, and opportunities around audio, imagery, messaging, payments/banking. Powered by the force of artificial intelligence, X will connect us in ways we are just beginning to imagine.
When Musk was asked in Twitter Spaces if the Twitter logo would change, he answered "yes" and said, "It should have happened a long time ago."
The blue bird logo has always been a prominent asset of Twitter. In April, it was temporarily replaced by a meme of Dogecoin, causing Dogecoin to surge by 20%. Now, the X.com domain has officially redirected to Twitter.com, and the blue bird has officially entered history. Will Musk's grand dream of X.com start with Twitter? Let's wait and see!
