Andrew Tate endorses Elon Musk's $44 billion Twitter rebranding plan
Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan have publicly supported Elon Musk in his decision to rebrand Twitter.
Despite being banned from most social media platforms, the Tate brothers have expressed admiration for the Tesla founder since he acquired Twitter. Musk took over the microblogging platform for a staggering $44 billion last year, aiming to promote free expression on the platform.
Musk's recent announcement about rebranding Twitter as 'X' and changing the logo garnered enthusiastic acclaim from the Tate brothers. According to Tristan Tate, he is confident that 'X' will emerge as a formidable rival to Mark Zuckerberg's Instagram.
Reacting to the potential rebranding, the younger Tate sibling wrote:
"X will be an Instagram killer. Bookmark this."
In a swift reply to Musk's tweet seeking logo suggestions, Andrew Tate creatively chose an image from the iconic science fiction movie 'The Matrix,' accentuating it with an X sign. This symbolic gesture could be seen as a nod to his purported battles against those in positions of authority.
