Social media users respond to the new Twitter logo
Her followers responded with funny tweets:
@MeetSAbiz had the perfect explanation:
"It flew too high and got hit by @SpaceX rocket. And @elonmusk marked the spot of the accident with an X using @Tesla automation. Get it? It's neuroscience at the end of the day.@Nazabella noted:
"The X looks like a Checkers Xtra saving logo."@gabrielnkuna corrected:
"X marks the sport. We don't tweet anymore. We mark and remark."@NgwanagaOumama joked:
"Yep, Ntate Tito Mboweni is probably cooking it as we speak."@SamL17401277 commented:
"We're solving for X now."
@Nokuthu385 said:
"Was shocked just now thought I deleted Twitter then I saw this X n clicked on it then boom Twitter."@ReeGodsSoldier gave some direction:
"It flew away and they put an x. X marks the spot where you can find the bird."Twitter troll body shames Sho Madjozi
In another Twitter story on Briefly News, Xitsonga rapper and dancer Sho Madjozi became a victim of body shaming.
The international star released a video of her working on the visuals of her new single Balotelli when a troll took a jab at her slender frame, asking if she was sick.
Thankfully, other tweeps restrained the strong-willed bully until she backed off.
