ELON MUSK SAYS THE BIRD IS DEAD BE AN XSSHOLE

ELON UNVEILS NEW LOGO SAYS MORE

ACCURATELY REPRESENTS HIM

In a move that has left the internet scratching its head, Elon Musk has announced that he plans to change the logo of Twitter to an "X" from the famous blue bird. The billionaire owner of the social media platform claims that the new logo will better represent him and his vision for Twitter.

According to Musk, the new logo, which he has affectionately dubbed "Xasshole" (or just "X" for short), will feature a big butt with an X on it. Musk claims that the new logo will symbolize his belief that Twitter has lost the "thread" so to speak, and that it needs to refocus on what really matters: butts.

"We've been focused on birds for too long," Musk said in a recent interview. "Birds are boring. Butts are where it's at. And let's face it, I've got a pretty big one myself."

The announcement has sent shockwaves through the tech industry, with many questioning Musk's sanity and his ability to lead a major social media platform. But Musk remains undeterred, insisting that the new logo will be a huge success.

"If a good enough logo is posted tonight, we'll make it go live worldwide tomorrow," Musk said. "And believe me, we've got some great designs already. One of them even features my face on the butt. It's hilarious."

The move comes as Twitter faces increased pressure from social media rival Meta, which recently announced its own rebranding efforts. But Musk remains confident that his new logo will set Twitter apart from the competition.

"Meta may have changed its name, but they can't compete with our butts," Musk said. "We've got the best butts in the business. And now we've got the logo to prove it."

Despite the initial backlash, some Twitter users have expressed support for Musk's new logo, with many praising its simplicity and humor.

"I love it," one user tweeted. "Finally, a social media platform that doesn't take itself too seriously."

Only time will tell whether Musk's new logo will be a hit or a miss. But one thing is for sure: with Musk at the helm, Twitter is sure to be anything but boring.
