      <title>Elon Musk says Twitter to change logo, charge for DMs</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30328280/elon-musk-says-twitter-to-change-logo-charge-for-dms</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Elon Musk said he was looking to change Twitter’s logo, tweeting: “And soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a tweet at 12:06 a.m. ET (0406 GMT) on Sunday, the social media platform’s billionaire owner added: “If a good enough X logo is posted tonight, we’ll make go live worldwide tomorrow.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Musk posted an image of a flickering “X” but did not give further details. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    &lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--embed  media--uneven'&gt;
        &lt;div class='media__item  media__item--twitter  '&gt;&lt;span&gt;
    &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
        &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1682965462886535168"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Under Musk’s tumultuous tenure since buying Twitter in October, the company changed its business name to X Corp, reflecting the billionaire’s vision to create a “super app,”
like China’s WeChat.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Twitter’s website says its logo, depicting a blue bird, is “our most recognizable asset,” adding “That’s why we’re so protective of it.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The bird was temporarily replaced in April by Dogecoin’s Shiba Inu dog, which ended up helping add as much as $4 billion to the meme coin’s market value.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Twitter’s most recent complication was a lawsuit being filed on Tuesday claiming the firm owes at least $500 million in severance pay to former employees.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Musk’s company has laid off more than half its workforce to cut costs since he bought the company.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a id="limited-dms-for-non-verified-users" href="#limited-dms-for-non-verified-users" class="heading-permalink" aria-hidden="true" title="Permalink"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Limited DMs for non-verified users&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Twitter has also announced changes to its policy for direct messages. Users without the blue tick will not be able to send unlimited messages starting July 22.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The move is another one of Musk’s measures to try to get more people to subscribe to his Twitter Blue service that enables more features on the social network.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, Twitter has not yet added what the limit of DMS will be for the non-verified users.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Twitter said that it started testing out the feature in June 2023 and found that it reduced spam rate by almost 70%.&lt;/p&gt;
