Rebranding Twitter to X is a gusty move. One thing about @elonmusk is you can’t say he doesn’t have intestinal fortitude.

Talk about killing one bird with two stones.#TwitterRebrand #X #ByeByeBirdie
Wow, just saw the news about Twitter rebranding to X! It's definitely a bold move to change their iconic bird logo. Can't wait to see what this new era of X has in store for us. #TwitterRebrand #X

Embracing the winds of change, I thought I had moved on from my X, but behold, Twitter's rebranding to @X has brought us all together as proud X'ers! United by the X factor! #TwitterRebrand

Does anyone else find it funny that Musk has chosen to rebrand Twitter to X when x is the symbol you click to shut down things on your computer #TwitterRebrand

Surely, years from now, this decision, along with a lot of the others Elon Musk has made since taking over #Twitter, will be taught in Business Studies and Advertising & Marketing courses the world over;
