Billionaire Elon Musk acquired Twitter late last year and changed the company's business name to "X Corp". This shows the ambition to build a super app that can do everything, similar to China's WeChat.

In 2006, Twitter launched with a blue bird logo, claiming it was the company's "most recognizable asset". "That's why we protect it at all costs" on Twitter's website.

In April, the blue bird logo was changed to a Shiba dog, very similar to the Dogecoin (DOGE) logo and this has helped Dogecoin cryptocurrency increase more than $ 4 billion in market value. In the same month, Twitter has a new CEO, Linda Yaccarino, which is expected to bring a breath of fresh air to the company and turn the Twitter platform into X - the application of everything.' Meanwhile, Musk will still take on various roles at Twitter such as executive chairman & CTO, product, software & systems supervisor.
