Since Elon Musk acquired Twitter, the company has undergone a number of polarizing changes, including paid verification through the Twitter Blue service, the firing of top senior officials, and now, the rebranding to ‘X.’ Through the following slides, we will explore Twitter’s journey as a platform over the years.
Elon Musk's latest decision involves the rebranding of Twitter as X, with the iconic blue bird logo being replaced as well.
