X.com: Elon Musk on Sunday tweeted his plan to rebrand the twitter platform and do away with the iconic brid logo. He revealed that the X.com domain now redirects to http;//twitter.com/and announced that an interim X logo will be out very soon.
“X.com now points to https://twitter.com/. Interim X logo goes live later today,” tweeted Musk.

The X.com company, which Musk established in 1999, was an early version of the popular online payment platform PayPal.
New social media platform
Musk dropped a cryptic tweet, hinting at a potential new social media platform ‘X.com’ while responding to a question from one of his followers. On Tuesday, a social media user asked the billionaire tech tycoon whether he had given any thought to creating his own social platform.
Musk noticed the question on Twitter and responded by just writing “X.com”.
It is noted that last week the Tesla owner talked about the website during Tesla’s annual shareholder meeting last week as well.
“I do sort of have a grander vision for what I thought X Corporation could have been back in the day. It’s a pretty grand vision and of course that could be started from scratch but I think Twitter would accelerate that by three to five years,” Musk had reportedly said.
The tweet comes at a time when Musk is involved in a high-stakes legal battle with Twitter.
A year before Twitter sued Musk after he decided to back out of the USD 44 billion takeover deal. In April, Musk reached an acquisition agreement with Twitter at USD 54.20 per share in a transaction valued at approximately USD 44 billion.
However, Musk put the deal on hold in May to allow his team to review the veracity of Twitter’s claim that less than 5 per cent of accounts on the platform are bots or spam.
