Musk announces Twitter change all users can get behind: 'Better in every way'

Just days after Elon Musk announced he would be calling Twitter "X," and moving away from the iconic blue bird logo, he said Thursday that he would also be redesigning the social media platform’s color scheme.

The social media app typically allows users to choose between a "Default" white background, a "Dim" gray background, or a "Lights out" black background — but Musk said the platform will "soon only have ‘dark mode.’"

"It’s better in every way," Musk said in a tweet early Thursday morning.

The comment came in response to another user who inquired if Musk would be changing Twitter's blue verification checkmark to a black-and-white one to match the new "X" logo.

"Blue tick or Black tick?" the user initially asked. "I like black too but it won’t work in the dark mode," they also said.

Then Musk chimed in to tease the new design.

"Dark mode" is used by other social media platforms and web browsers that typically features a dark gray background that is easier on the eyes and can save battery charge on mobile devices.

Several people who responded to Musk complimented the change.

"Genius idea," one user wrote.

"Can’t wait," responded another.

The change is the latest in Musk’s rebranding of Twitter — potentially moving away from the baggage of its owner ownership — to what will be designed as an "everything app."
