Former Twitter Boss Jack Dorsey advises, “Keep Calm and Just X Through It”

The prominent social networking site Twitter has officially changed its name and brand to ‘X,’ according to billionaire Elon Musk and Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino. Musk, who owns Twitter, has further said that the new X logo will go up later today. The former CEO of the microblogging network, Jack Dorsey, responded to this news by writing on his Twitter account, “Keep calm and just x through it.”

Jack Dorsey’s response to Twitter’s new logo demonstrates his support for the concept put forward by Elon Musk, the company’s current owner and a close friend of Dorsey’s. The X Corporation is what Elon Musk has previously designated as Twitter’s parent business. He also disclosed that Twitter.com is now the default destination for users of the domain X.com.

According to Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino, X is the state of unrestricted interaction that is focused on audio, video, message, payments, and banking. It develops a worldwide market for ideas, products, services, and possibilities.

“X, powered by AI, will link us all in ways that are yet in their infancy. Fans and detractors alike have pushed Twitter for years to dream larger, innovate more quickly, and realize our immense potential. That and more will be done by X. Through our frequent feature releases over the last eight months, we’ve already begun to see X take form, but we’re only getting started,” Yaccarino noted.

Yaccarino further emphasized that this transition has no boundaries. The platform that can supply anything will be called X. “@elonmusk and I are looking forward to working with our teams and every single one of our partners to bring X to the world,” she said.

Musk also launched a user survey on Sunday asking people whether he should make the platform’s default color black. With 74.8 percent of the vote, black now has the most support, while white received just 25.2%. Marques Brownlee, a tech personality, tweeted, “I’m still gonna call it Twitter,” to which Musk responded, “Not for long.”

Musk responded, “Chief Nothing Officer,” in answer to a user’s question on what would replace the title “Chief Twit” for the owner of Twitter. The tech mogul responded when another user questioned if users would now be referred to as “Xers”: “We will have no name.”
