Did the Simpsons predict Twitter’s new X logo?

he world is reacting to Elon Musk’s decision to rebrand Twitter by replacing the famous blue bird logo with an X.

It’s the culmination of Musk’s obsession with the twenty-fourth letter of the alphabet which started in 1999 when he founded X.com, the precursor to PayPal.

The X.com domain now redirects to Twitter. Earlier this year it emerged that Twitter’s parent company had been renamed X Corporation.

The shift to the new logo started overnight: the website now displays an X but the mobile app still has the familiar blue bird… for now.

Just like the South Park episode “Simpsons Already Did It”, which pokes fun at how the show has covered almost every conceivable plot, Matt Groening’s show may have indeed predicted the change long before it happened.

I just heard about this today, and I instantly thought of Homer as Mr. X when he ran that blog.

I do remember an episode where homer called himself Mr. X online

Maybe Elon Mask is fan of the Simsons...

Wait until people find out what a compass looks like.

This is what happens, when men grow up watching super heroes and playing video games. They grow up and start naming companies X, Meta, et cetera.

Well the X window sys logo similar to X (twit) is older many years. I would say maybe. 😁

Nice try but no this is not one of the thing Simpson's predicted.
