Threads and replies can include short pieces of text, links, photos, videos or any combination of them. This is Mark's world of Twitter.

However, this did hit Twitter users a bit and reportedly the business went down. With paid blue tick and other restrictions laid by Elon Musk, users weren't happy with the new norm and failed to adjust, and Mark decided to hit the iron when it was hot by launching Threads, undoubtelt, Threads comes with its drawbacks but was still received well, after using Threads app, users were once again drawn towards the Twitter app and were seen flocking to the microblogging site. For years, millennials and GEN Z have seen the logo of Twitter as "bluebird", until Monday saw a change in Twitter's logo. Yes, it's a sad goodbye for Twitter's blue bird. As Elon Musk welcomes the new logo of Twitter 'X'.

On Monday, Elon Musk unveiled a new logo for Twitter in an effort to rebrand the microblogging platform. The company's new logo: a white X on a black background had started reflecting for most of the users.
