Elon Musk’s “X” Rebranding of Twitter Takes Effect on the Apple App Store

Elon Musk’s “X” app is now under its new name in the Apple App store instead of under “Twitter.”

Elon Musk, the mastermind behind companies like Tesla and SpaceX, has recently made headlines once again with his latest venture – the rebranding of Twitter. Musk’s social media platform, which he now refers to as “X,” has officially taken effect on the Apple App Store, despite Apple’s requirement for app names to be two or more characters.

This bold move by Musk to rename one of the most popular social media platforms in the world has garnered attention and sparked curiosity. Ever since Musk announced the name change earlier this month, the company has been actively reshaping its image, navigating through logistical hurdles along the way.

Initially, the name change to “X” seemed to face challenges on the App Store. According to Apple’s support page, app names are required to be between two and 30 characters. However, despite this requirement, the app now appears as “X” on the App Store. It remains unclear how exactly the name change was implemented, and whether Apple played a role in approving it. Unfortunately, representatives for Apple did not respond to inquiries about this matter.

The news of the name change taking effect first broke through a report by The Verge. In addition to the new name, the app also features a catchy tagline – “Blaze your glory!” – as shared by Musk on his Twitter account.

Interestingly, Musk’s efforts to rebrand the platform in physical spaces have not gone unnoticed. Last week, an attempt to remove the Twitter sign from the company’s San Francisco office building caused quite a stir, attracting the attention of local law enforcement and briefly halting the work. While the incident was investigated by the San Francisco police, it was determined that no crime had been committed.

Furthermore, the placement of a massive “X” symbol on the company’s headquarters building has drawn scrutiny from San Francisco’s administrative officials. The Associated Press reported on the concerns raised by the city’s authorities regarding the prominent presence of this new symbol.

Elon Musk’s decision to rebrand Twitter as “X” reflects his constant drive for innovation and his desire to disrupt traditional norms. This move has generated excitement and speculation, leaving many wondering what lies ahead for this reimagined social media platform.

The world will now eagerly observe how “X” evolves and whether it can successfully carve out its own unique identity in the ever-growing digital landscape. Only time will tell if Musk’s bold rebranding of Twitter will pay off, but one thing is for certain – he has once again ignited curiosity and captured the world’s attention with his audacious vision.
