Carmen Reddy: "Elon Musk doesn't respect us"
Elon has done it again...
In a groundbreaking move that has sent shockwaves through the social media world, tech mogul Elon Musk, the mastermind behind companies like Tesla and SpaceX, has once again left his mark on the digital landscape.
This time, it's Twitter that bears his stamp, as he reveals a striking new logo for the platform - a sleek and chic 'X' with a touch of minimalist art deco flair.

However, according to CNN Business, the logo isn't the only change in store.
Musk's vision for the Twitter platform goes beyond aesthetics, as he hints at the possibility of doing away with retweets in the near future, reshaping the way we interact and share content on one of the world's most influential platforms.
Both Sky Tshabalala and Carmen Reddy first caught wind of this when they spoke amongst themselves on air during Five Things You Need To Know As You Wake Up.
"Guys, I don't know about you, but this guy is such a legend, He literally has all the money in the world that he decided to edit Twitter his own way," says Sky.
Carmen, however, had a different take on the whole situation, as she uses Twitter religiously.
"I don't understand how this guy can be so selfish and decide to change a whole Twitter to just an X. He doesn't respect us, shem," says an irritated Carmen.

Elon Musk's keen eye for design has become evident in the logo overhaul for Twitter.
The new "X" logo is a departure from the platform's iconic blue bird, symbolising a fresh beginning and transformation.
The design embodies the elegance and simplicity of the art deco movement, which flourished in the 1920s.
With clean lines and an air of sophistication, the "X" is poised to redefine Twitter's image and its users' experience.

As the visionary entrepreneur leaves his distinctive mark on the platform, it remains to be seen how these changes will impact the way we interact, share information, and communicate on Twitter.
The "X" symbolises a blank slate for the social media giant, and Musk's retweet proposal opens the door to a new era of communication.
