Elon Musk harshly criticized Mark Zuckerberg after the latter released Threads, a micro messaging platform in direct competition to erstwhile Twitter, now X. He accused Zuckerberg of cheating and copying everything from his platform. But ever since Musk launched the new logo of the X, the blame has reversed. The new X logo now looks like the Threads logo.
The X logo, which was released after the release of Threads, is alleged to closely resemble that of Threads. The two logos share the same color scheme of black and white and the only difference between the two is the symbol used. Now users of the platform who were unhappy about the change are accusing Elon Musk of lacking originality.
Netizens are comparing it with other industries like production houses, where the same phenomenon of rivals having similar looking logos can be seen. X is a platform where conspiracy theories easily propagate and many such theories are surfacing around this resemblance as well. Some are believing it to be a part of a greater plan to incorporate everything under a single platform while others are simply associating it to the color psychology chart explaining why tech companies are preferring black and white.
