The iconic Twitter bird logo, which once adorned the company's former San Francisco headquarters, has been sold for nearly USD 35,000. This comes after Elon Musk's takeover and rebranding of the social media giant to 'X'.

RR Auction, renowned for dealing in 'rare and collectible items', managed the sale of the 254 kg logo, which measured 12 feet by 9 feet, fetching USD 34,375. The identity of the buyer remains undisclosed.
