Twitter could be about to undergo a huge rebrand as Elon Musk signals a desire to drop the bird logo

Since Elon Musk's arrival at Twitter, it has been difficult to keep track of the fast-paced changes. The latest signals from the billionaire owner indicate that even more dramatic changes are afoot -- including ditching the Twitter brand and all bird-related imagery.

In his first tweet, Musk wrote:
