Musk had tweeted a picture of himself with his hands crossed as 'X' Sunday, as a "subtle clue" that he had chosen the 24th letter of the English alphabet as Twitter's symbol.

Under Musk's tumultuous tenure, the company has seen many changes including large-scale sackings, charges for previously free services, return of previously banned right-wing accounts and changes to content moderation.

He has also changed its business name to X Corp, reflecting his vision to create a 'super app' like China's WeChat.
