Elon Musk this weekend began his re-branding of Twitter as "X" as part of planned broadening of services and trying to make Twitter/X a more universal app. As part of that, Twitter's bird is gone and Twitter's new logo is:

In any event with Twitter's re-brand it's now just not a matter of X referring to X11/X.Org but potentially Elon's X service among the technically minded audience. In any event this is sure to generate some fun discussions in the comment section.
Perhaps this re-brand is just Elon putting his weight in the X11 vs. Wayland debate?
