Elon Musk may be switching X (formerly Twitter) to a permanent dark mode, removing the last bit original branding for the site he bought for $44 billion.
As part of Twitter’s ongoing and controversial rebrand into X, the social media network will be going dark — as in dark mode. That’s because owner Elon Musk recently tweeted that he is looking to permanently be set to dark mode, removing the default light mode in the process. A detailed explanation was not given as to why this would be the case, with Musk simply stating that dark mode “is better in every way.”
What is interesting is that, according to researchers, neither light nor dark mode poses any widespread benefits to its usage. Appfire cites such research, which concludes that normal-sighted users perform better using light mode while those with reading difficulties or frequenting bright rooms are better using dark mode.
