Twitter’s CEO also took to the social media platform, writing, “X is the space of the future for limitless interaction – focusing on voice, 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’ve only begun to imagine,” Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino tweeted.
It’s an exceptionally rare thing – in life or in business – that you get a second chance to make another big impression. Twitter made one massive impression and changed the way we communicate. Now, X will go further, transforming the global town square.— Linda Yaccarino (@lindayacc) July 23, 2023
“It’s an exceptionally rare thing – in life or in business – that you get a second chance to make another big impression. Twitter made a huge impact and changed the way we communicate. Now X goes further and transforms the global city square,” Yaccarino added.
Earlier on Sunday, Tesla’s CEO announced that he was changing the Twitter logo. Musk also shared the design of the new Twitter logo on social media and named it “X”. “And soon we will say goodbye to the Twitter brand and gradually to all the birds. If a good enough X logo is released tonight, tomorrow we will send worldwide,” Elon Musk tweeted.
“If a good enough X logo is released tonight, we’ll go global tomorrow,” he added. According to reports, Twitter is now part of a new company called X Corp after the merger. Elon Musk hinted at this by posting “X” on his Twitter account. Elon Musk is promoting his artificial intelligence company xAI, which he said “understands the universe.”
Earlier this month, Musk launched his own artificial intelligence company, xAI, with the aim of challenging OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT. He said the new AI company will operate independently of his other companies, but that xAI’s innovations could benefit those companies, such as Twitter.
