In case you didn't already know, X Corp. is Musk's new company, which is now the parent company of Twitter or something.
It's funny because they're both obsolete.

X Corp sounds like the name of a company an evil villain would make in a movie
Using the Enron logo is pretty apt
Ah yes, the top 1% of the 1%
Musk would take that as a compliment
Musk probably sits around with his eyes slitted, doing the fist-pulling gesture of Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget
I know, right?
Well, there’s only so many ways you can make an X and keep it recognizable as an X. Elon could never have predicted that. It’s not like Twitter already had a unique, widely recognized, well designed logo or anything.
I figured that he would have gone with 卐.com
Nah. Hate Musk, deleted Twitter when I heard he was potentially buying it, but there's really no original logos left.
I can't remember the name, but there's a HUGE book of logos, which shows the original date that logo was made, and you can pretty much find every single brand logo in that book. Every single brand is basically an unintentional copy of a logo that has already existed in 1800-1900s.
There is also a clear difference in the logos above. Really, how many different ways can you do an X?
This is what happens when we prioritize simple designs in order to get quick recognition in any format
As musk said, they were "blowtorching off all the birds at Twitter HQ." As with every decision he's made, he has chosen to avoid critical thinking and trusting experts, and going with his techbro gut, demonstrating again just how far off the mark he is when it comes to running a multi-billion dollar business.
Lawsuit incoming
You think an obsolete open source project has the money to take on a multi billion dollar corporation?
Next they are going to replace the birds with a rip-off of the Apache Tomcat logo.
