Unless you’ve been living under a rock these past few days, you’ll know that Twitter has rebranded to X as part of Elon Musk’s plan to create an “everything app” incorporating audio, video, messaging, payments and banking.
The, erm, colourful tech billionaire, who took over the platform in October 2022, replaced the famous blue bird with a new logo on Monday, and redirected the domain X.com to Twitter.com.
The move has divided opinion, with Musk’s legion of fanboys as per usual labelling him a genius, and others poking fun at the decision to junk the one thing Twitter still had going for it.
The latter group included a number of retailers. Here are some of our favourite retail takes from yesterday.
We didn’t even change our name and people still confuse us for @johnlewis 🤷
