On Sunday, Musk also started a poll asking users if he should change the platform’s default colour to black. Currently, the colour ‘black’ has a huge lead with 74.8 per cent votes, while the colour ‘white’ only received 25.2 per cent votes.
Technology influencer Marques Brownlee tweeted, “I’m still gonna call it Twitter.” Replying to his tweet, Musk wrote, “Not for long.” Another user inquired about what will be Twitter-owner’s new title. Musk replied, “Chief Nothing Officer.” Another users asked if the users will now be called “Xers,” the Tesla CEO replied, “We will have no name.”
Musk also announced that once the name of the platform is changed, the tweets shall be known as ‘an X’.
Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarina stated, “It’s an exceptionally rare thing – in life or in business – that you get a second chance to make anohter big impression. Twitter made one massive impression and changed the way we communicate. Now, X will go further, transforming the global town square.”
