At around 10AM PT, Getty Images’ Justin Sullivan captured this photo showing the blue bird had gone. You could still make out an outline — but by 12:20PM PT, workers had all but cleaned that up. The far side of the Twitter sign is equally bare, according to this video.
Musk’s flashy rooftop X may be no more, but the symbol will probably reappear on this sign soon.
If you’re still using the social network once known as Twitter, you may feel a bit of nostalgia for the perky little bluebird that used to grace your screen. If you’d like to see it again, you can change your iPhone home screen icon to a bird, a bear — in fact, whatever you’d like. Here’s how.
Sorry, I mean: Ye is back on X.
Elon Musk’s social network unbanned Ye after nearly eight months. He was banned back in December 2022 for posting a swastika after making a series of anti-Semitic statements on and off of Twitter.
The Wall Street Journal reports that ads won’t appear beside Ye’s posts, and he won’t be able to monetize his account.
The big X is now on the building that houses X, the company most people know as Twitter. It appears have the same lighting scheme as my last gaming PC build, which makes me wonder what both Elon and me in 2018 have against RGB LEDs.
Twitter is currently being sued for not paying the rent on that building. Also, these blinds at Lowes are really good at blocking out light and work with the Bond Bridge, which lets you connect them to most smart home set ups.
The app formerly known as Twitter is still listed as Twitter in the App Store, which, as pointed out by a few people, is likely due to Apple’s rules, which appear to bar anyone from shortening the marketing name in the App Store to a single character.
However, you can make the Home Screen name of an app a single character, which is how it now appears, along with the new icon.
After the app’s rebranding on Android, we’re seeing the new (old) logo on Apple devices too. It’s still named Twitter, but the bird icon is gone, replaced by Elon Musk’s current fascination, X.
He also shared a graph seemingly showing the platform’s growth. The number 541,562,214 is at the end of the chart.
While that might seem impressive, Musk may be counting users differently than Twitter once used to. The company last reported monthly active users at 330 million in 2019 — Musk’s measure, notably, did not include the word “active.”
