It started with just a few words. No grand announcement, no insider scoop—just a simple, seemingly innocuous tweet. But within minutes, the Big Blue Nation was in a frenzy. Likes poured in, retweets skyrocketed, and the replies? A full-blown digital stampede of speculation, excitement, and yes—demands for more.
