For more than 10 years, Twitter has been recognizable for its blue and white bird logo, which became a symbol of the social network's unique culture and lexicon. To "tweet" became a verb. A "tweet" referred to a post. "Tweeps" became the moniker for Twitter employees.

Late on Sunday, Elon Musk began getting rid of it all.

The tech billionaire, who bought Twitter last year, renamed the social platform X.com on its website and started replacing the bird logo with a stylized version of the 24th letter of the Latin alphabet.

Inside Twitter's headquarters in San Francisco on Monday, X logos were projected in the cafeteria, while conference rooms were renamed to words with X in them, including "eXposure," "eXult" and "s3Xy," according to photos seen by The New York Times. Workers also began removing bird-related paraphernalia, such as a giant blue logo in the cafeteria. Outside the building, workers took off the first six letters of Twitter's name before the San Francisco Police Department stopped them for performing "unauthorized work," according to an alert sent by the department.
