Elon Musk has said he plans to scrap Twitter’s signature bird logo and replace it with an X.

The tech billionaire suggested in a series of tweets on Sunday that he would replace the iconic design as part of his effort to rebrand Twitter into an “everything app”.

Mr Musk tweeted a flickering image of an X on Sunday and said: “If a good enough X logo is posted tonight, we’ll make [it] go live worldwide tomorrow.”

He added: “And soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds.”
