X's rebranding has received a mixed reaction
This event marks the second auction held by the company as part of its rebranding efforts. Despite facing some challenges, including a halted logo installation and trademark clashes in Japan, Musk's rebranding initiative continues to move forward.
As the rebranding process unfolds, some users have expressed their dissatisfaction with the changes. Actor Mark Hamill called for a boycott of the platform earlier this month.
