Elon Musk explains the reason behind Twitter’s rebranding as X

In a recent interview, Elon Musk revealed the real reason why he ditched the blue bird logo of Twitter.

Ever since Elon Musk announced the new logo for Twitter speculations are rife about the reasons behind the Chief Twit’s actions. On Monday, Musk unveiled a new logo, X, for Twitter purging the iconic blue bird logo that has cast a lasting imprint on the collective psyche of billions of users.

The new logo is a white X against the backdrop of pitch black and has already started to reflect on the web and mobile versions of the popular microblogging website.

I think it's very important to have a feedback loop, where you're constantly thinking about what you've done and how you could be doing it better. I think that's the single best piece of advice: constantly think about how you could be doing things better and questioning yourself. -Elon Musk

How to Become a Geek?

The word "geek" is used to describe a type of person that is unfashionably nerdy, intellectual, and extremely passionate about their interests. Although it was once intended as an insult for introverted science-types and fans of Star Trek, more recent times have made it a lot cooler to consider yourself "one of the geeks". Generally speaking, geeks make up for their social awkwardness by having an immense passion for the things they're interested in. There's no way to completely transform yourself into a geek, but if the thought of becoming one has ever crossed your mind, it means there's some part of you that already fits the bill. Becoming a geek means being proud of the things you're interested in, and considering your hobbies an inalienable part of yourself.

1.Cater your geekdom to your specific interests

2.Subscribe to a specialty magazine or journal.

3.Develop your skill with computers.

4.Stay up to date with technology.

5.Pick up bits of sci-fi and nerd trivia

6.Rebel against the establishment.
