Twitter’s new X logo wasn’t made by an in-house designer. It’s from an old podcast hosted by one of the cult that Elon took from his replies.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

True, but ~~Twitter~~ X isn't exactly flush with cash right now. And if it aspires to be an "everything app", it might take more than one payoff.
I mean if Elon is going to push it, he has plenty of cash to invest into the company to buy out anything. He's also not above just using his personal assets for the company. E.g. X.com now redirects to Twitter.com.
Thats true but anyway it doesnt make sense do trash a Brand that has becone verb, has its Logo on Millionen of Websites and is refered to by probably every news Website in existence. Imagine if McDonalds changed their golden M to a gray O.
Imagine the confusion when people order a "Big O".
