In a post on the site at 12:06 a.m. ET, the social media platform's billionaire owner added: "If a good enough X logo is posted tonight, we'll make (it) go live worldwide tomorrow."
Musk posted an image of a flickering "X", and later in a Twitter Spaces audio chat replied "Yes" when asked if the Twitter logo will change, adding that "it should have been done a long time ago."
Under Musk's tumultuous tenure, since he bought Twitter in October, the company has changed its business name to X Corp, reflecting the billionaire's vision to create a "super app" like China's WeChat.
The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Twitter's website says its logo, depicting a blue bird, is "our most recognizable asset."
"That's why we're so protective of it," it added.
The bird was temporarily replaced in April by Dogecoin's Shiba Inu dog, helping drive a surge in the meme coin's market value.
The company came under widespread criticism from users and marketing professionals when Musk announced early this month that Twitter would limit how many tweets per day various accounts can read.
The daily limits helped in the growth of Meta-owned rival service Threads, which crossed 100 million sign-ups within five days of launch.
Comment: It makes for a nice stat, though it was leveraged off of the existing Instagram membership and not original registrations. However, usage quickly frayed as members realized the surveillance was even worse than on Zuck's Facebook or Instagram:
Twitter's most recent complication was a lawsuit filed on Tuesday claiming the firm owes at least $500 million in severance pay to former employees.
Since Musk acquired it, the company has laid off more than half its workforce to cut costs.

One wonders, will this have some kind of symbology linked to Neurolink? Will I have a sleepless night in anticipation..No.
For millions of twitters throughout the world including the intelligence agencies, maybe they are twitching, also in anticipation. a new revaluation, a new creation of reality?
LOL....
So, if I was Musk, I would perhaps choose a double-headed eagle as logo ...
Let me think about his afflictions.. Ahem! Affiliations
Neurolink...Mind to....Monkey human interface? Human trials ongoing.
Space X.......Who knows the reality Looking at MSM *It's a dud,.
Twitter....To be determined
And who knows where his mind and loyalties flutter. Some say .., Having a child changes a person ,
My comment was somewhat tongue-in-cheek ...
Here an SOTT-allowable site showing that exact "double-headed eagle" I meant : [Link]
If I remember correctly, the German empire (before WWI) featured such a bird as well in it's insignia. Which would not be surprising, he and the Russian emperor being cousins ...
But for some reason, trying to copy that link in totally "busted" the editor ...
Only he is on the side that American business interests - in contrast to team Biden/WEF. Like Trump.
His motives are not altruistic, just keeping their business going, and not surrendering to faction controlling the WEF, which is mostly located in Europe.
I'm feeling nostalgic already...

The universities were the domain of Unix, and research in graphical user interfaces and alternative input devices (mouse) began in the '70.
The "geniuses" Gates and Jobs just copied the concepts and even most of the code. Created by tax-funded research.
I suppose there might be no legal issues for Musk (if he references the source), and he might even have done it on purpose. I mean, choosing a logo that symbolizes the antithesis of the control system Gates represents.
T hough I'm just guessing here ...
So who are the millions of people that are now XXXXers?
