Musk Teases Major X Update in Conversation with Dogecoin Team

During a recent conversation with a prominent member of the Dogecoin (DOGE) team, Elon Musk, CEO and owner of X (formerly Twitter), dropped a hint about an impending major update that piqued the interest of tech enthusiasts.

The Dogecoin designer initiated the discussion by suggesting that the familiar birdhouse icon used to represent the “home” feature on X be retired.

Elon Musk swiftly responded with an enticing declaration, “We will.”

Given the tenacity with which the new owner removes all remnants of what X formerly was, it is hardly the greatest surprise.

Since Musk acquired Twitter and its subsequent rebranding approximately one year ago, he has been actively reshaping the platform’s identity.

Notably, he replaced the well-known bluebird logo with the letter “X,” which prompted substantial discussion and debate.

X is undergoing a transition from a microblogging platform to a super app under Musk’s leadership.

The vision involves directly integrating financial services such as remittances and banking into the platform.

To facilitate this, X has obtained licenses for money transfers in several U.S. jurisdictions, including Arizona, Missouri, and Georgia.

One of the most recent innovations of the new leadership plans is introducing a “small monthly charge” for users, primarily used to combat bots and spam.

Musk believes that this subscription-based approach is the most practical means of tackling the persistent issue of automated accounts.
