“And soon we shall bid adieu to the Twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds,” Musk wrote on his account. In response to Musk's announcement, the company swiftly took action, redirecting http://X.com to https://twitter.com/ within a few hours.

'X' in line with Elon Musk's vision of a ‘super app’
Under the ownership of the billionaire, Twitter's business name was already changed to "X Corp," aligning with his vision to create a "super app" similar to China's WeChat.
Linda Yaccarino, the newly appointed chief executive of the X (erstwhile Twitter) said that it will be the platform that can deliver “everything” confirming that logo change is just one of the many steps planned in the wider rebranding.
“X is the future state of unlimited interactivity – centred in audio, video, messaging, payments/banking – creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities. Powered by AI, X will connect us all in ways we’re just beginning to imagine,” she posted on the social media platform.
She wrote, “We’ve already started to see X take shape over the past 8 months through our rapid feature launches, but we’re just getting started,” adding that there is absolutely no limit to this transformation.
