New Delhi
Even today, many people know Twitter in the name of blue bird. But ever since this social media platform was taken over by Allen Musk, he made many big changes on it. Even Twitter’s name and people were replaced by Musk. It changed its name to X. Now the iconic logo with a blue bird on the headquarters of Sena French French of America has also been bid.
How much did this deal happen?
According to the PR of the auction company, the blue bird has been auctioned for $ 34 thousand 375 (about 30 lakh rupees). The weight of this blue bird is about 254 kg. This is 12 feet long, 9 feet wide icon. At present, the identity of the buyer of this bird has not been told.
Not only a bird, Apple’s things were also auctioned
Apart from auction of blue bird, Apple-1 has been auctioned for about Rs 3.22 crore ($ 3.75 lakh) of computer, a check of Apple signed by Steel Jobs for about Rs 96.3 lakh ($ 1,12,054).
Tesla’s CEO bought X for $ 44 billion in 2022, earlier Twitter. However, investors, such as Fidelity Investments, have significantly reduced their investment value due to the difficulties of platforms in maintaining advertisements after acquisition.
Musk’s goal was to convert Twitter into an ‘Eventing App’, as he said, which reflects the change in X from Twitter. He announced in a post in 2023 that the company would soon say goodbye to ‘Twitter brand and gradually all birds’.
The X social networking platform is allegedly in talks with investors to raise $ 44 billion, Bloomberg said in the February report. These discussions occurred when Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election touched Musk’s second business.
Logo, memorable objects, and other simple things such as office furniture and kitchenware were involved in other things that were from Twitter and Musk had earlier laid for auction.
Several tech history objects were sold at high prices in the auction. These include:
- An apple-1 computer, with accessories, $ 375,000.
- A signed check by Steve Jobs in 1976, $ 112,054.
- The 4GB iPhone of the first generation, which was still in its original packaging, for $ 87,514.
The ‘X’ letter has long attracted Tesla CEO. Musk started a new Artificial Intelligence Startup called XAI, whose ambitious goal is ‘understanding the true nature of the universe’.
Business Observers considered Twitter’s blue -bird branding to end the branding of years. Changes in Musk’s platform made some people worry that it did not have a safe platform to advertise for brands, due to which the company had to struggle to maintain advertisers.
However, his strong relationship with Trump and the return of some advertisers to X has raised expectations for the platform’s financial stability. This helped banks to sell the debt issued for Mask’s Twitter acquisition, as a source in February.
