Elon Musk recently announced the rebranding of Twitter, which

will entail the quietus of the well-known blue bird logo; it will be

replaced by the “X” (reported by Reuters). The billionaire admits

that advertising revenue remains at almost half of what it once

was and that he’s REALLY fond of the letter “X.”

********************************

Before buying Twitter in 2022, Musk had said, “Buying Twitter is an accelerant to creating X, the everything app." Blue birdie, we bid you goodbye. The sight of that “X” makes us sigh. It’s not cute like you. Will Musk ever rue the day he coerced you to fly? So~~Twitter is neck-deep in debt. “X” won’t solve that problem, I’ll bet. We know you’ll be missed. So sad you’ve been dissed by one who views X like a pet!

No very innovative to go from the birdie to X; but he owns the gold--he makes the rules. Yes--the business is suffering, as you say, Janice. Very timely poem. They took down the sign today--too bright for the neighbors or some issues like that.
