The Tech billionaire Elon Musk bought the Twitter social media platform for $ 40.68 billion in October 2022. Shortly afterwards he released a large part of the workforce at the time and changed the name and logo of the company.
What kind of logo was sold? Anyone who knows the old Twitter before taking over Elon Musk is familiar with the former logo of the social media platform: a small bird named Larry in white or blue.
This logo also adorned the headquarters of Twitter in San Francisco. There was a 250 kg image of the bird in blue on the outer facade of the building.
Shortly after Elon Musk took over Twitter and renamed X, he had the logo changed and exchanged the small bird through the letter “X” – both on the platform and on the facade of the office, the headquarters of which is now in Texas. This logo has now been sold.
