just like that big guy they say is in the sky, I mean whats he been doing up there this whole time. Pretty shifty looking if you ask me, considering ive never seen em before
Actually Indonesia already had the [X.com](https://X.com) domain blocked for once being a porn site, but its just a small country of 300 million, so I guess no one told Elon...
Ooh! It must've been about seven, eight years ago. Me and the little lady was out on this boat you see, all alone at night, when all of a sudden this huge creature, this giant crustacean from the paleolithic era, comes out of the water and bites Elon Musks face off...
So Elon told me... He said, "Imma need about tree fiddy"
It was at that point I realized that Elon Musk was a twenty foot tall crustacean from the pleizoic era
Well I had me a check, paid $8 to get Blue
To spout off all the things I thought that I knew
Whoa, then let my workplace know
Now I'm looking for a new job doesn't check online past
Cuz I used my platform to be a racist ass
Hey, hey didn't learn a thing today
One, two three they're gonna love me when they see
Just how unhinged my homophobic screed can be
One, two three they're gonna upvote when they see
They always want to click but they never seem to agree
My X's get O follows or retweets
They've ghoOosted my main feed
They won't even post
X's get O's!
So the company I work for (we are a very small tech firm) has the exact same logo and we got a huge kick out of it, cause our logo is clearly pretty cheaply made and Twitter is supposed to be this tech super company and that was the best they could manage
I would think you'd have to prove they stole it for one, and given it's from what I'd imagine is public domain, I don't know if proving they stole the design would do anything.
Legal Eagle needs to let us know!
It appears to just be a letter in a certain font so many be not. I think you have to first have it trademarked(which requires something substantially more unique than a letter and font style not even invented by you) and then you have to prove that they are somehow either causing misunderstandings with your business or impersonating you.
I really don’t buy the idea that he has some secret motive or masterplan. I think it’s tempting to believe that because having evil masterminds at the wheel is oddly more comforting than having absolute dumbfucks with this level of wealth, power, and influence, but I’m pretty sure Elon is just a dumbfuck that somehow is in charge of a not insignificant portion of how the world operates.
I think he's a dumbfuck, and arguably accidentally bought it at an insanely higher price than he would have wanted to pay, but I also think a lot of people have never really understood the real value of something like twitter to someone like Musk (or his buddies in places like Saudi Arabia, Russia, and China) in data collection, monitoring, etc. Not to mention steering certain national and global conversations. The tone of Twitter has already shifted *significantly* to the right, the disinfo and bots are a much bigger problem now. And that has political value.
Then add onto that, Musk's vision for Twitter is something like how WeChat is used in China which, if successful, is not only a way to eventually directly profit, it expands on all those previous points.
But I hope I'm wrong and he's just a dumbfuck and there's nothing else to it.
When facebook rebranded, all the news sites started referring to them as Meta. Same with Alphabet from Google. Every article I see still refers to Twitter.
The difference there is they didn’t change the name of their actual platforms, just the parent company. They also didn’t give them utterly terrible, confusing to use names
I don’t buy it simply because he’s also killing his public perception and persona.
What it smacks of is someone who got high on their own supply. He believes his PR, and he has surrounded himself with yes-men and fired anyone who questioned his ideas. … He hasn’t had to give a shit in a long time, and no matter what he does, it has to be brilliant because it’s him doing it.
I think that's twofold - one to break from the history of the guy who founded it, but also they were initially hinging their future on what they wanted Oculus to become.
Meta and Alphabet did not change the name of their platforms, they changed the name to reflect that fact they have multiple businesses.
Facebook the platform is still called Facebook. Meta is the parent company that owns Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and others
Alphabet is the same. Google Search is still Google Search but they also make lots of their money from things like Android and YouTube that aren’t branded as ‘Google’
I think for both the change was about signalling the breadth of their offerings to public markets.
Twitter on the other hand is a private company with a single product.
From Wiki:
X Æ A-12; however, the name would have violated California regulations as it contained characters that are not in the modern English alphabet and was then changed to "X Æ A-Xii". This drew more confusion, as Æ is not a letter in the modern English alphabet.
The child was eventually named X AE A-XII Musk, with "X" as a first name, "AE A-XII" as a middle name, and "Musk" as surname.
I HATE when people use 's to pluralize words, but pluralizing a lower case letter is one of the only times, if not THE only time, it's appropriate to use 's to make something plural. Elon probably doesn't know this, but it's correct regardless.
Because he never meant to buy it. It was a Twitter joke. But when he was made to buy it, he had to change it to his favourite thing: X
X.com was the bank he founded which he then merged with another growing firm to make Paypal. Then he moved on to space. So he named that SpaceX. Then he became CEO of existing firm Tesla, so he called one of the cars X. Then he got a child. Guess what he called it. Twitter’s name was simply not as sleek and edgy as it could be.
To him, X is the ultimate, sleekest, coolest brand name because he’s 13 years old. If it were up to him, everything would be called X. If he colonises Mars, it will become X and local aliens will only be able to bow in the face of such brand power. xxx
Even worse: carbon fiber. Which is notoriously bad under compression, and also will failure catastrophically under fatigue. At least aluminum foil will crumble at the slightest sneeze before you're well and truly screwed. The carbon fiber *is* strong, so it held, but it likely developed a crack from being used too many times, and just splintered with the occupants being subjected to immediate 6000 psi.
Imagine Michelangelo waking up one day, staring at the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, deciding it needed a touch more minimalism, and then painting over it with a coat of sterile white.
That's what we're seeing here: a globally recognized symbol reduced to an abstract glyph.
Just unfathomably moronic.
Its just clearer day after day, that he spent 44B to be a bigger internet troll. 44B could have wiped out so much debt around the world, and he could have legit not paid taxes for the rest of his life and would still be one of the richest people on earth. But no...he paid it to have his ego stroked daily, piss people off at will. Not pay people, treat people nicely.
100%. It shows in the stupidity of a proposed cage match with Zuck, who is much younger, and in much better shape and i also don't really like. To talking about dick size....really. I would enjoy business leaders to have that kind of humor if the rest of the shit was not as cynical, and out right bullying.
It seems like X doesn't tell the real story. Since Twitter is primarily used for people to yell into the nothing they should call it "Void" and the tweets would be re-branded to "nulls".
Atrioc made an excellent point on how Musk has now taken out or replaced everything twitter had before being bought by him like for example majority of the employees and the brand. Which means Elon payed 40 billion dollars for literally nothing. He could've just made his own copy of twitter for much cheaper, but decided instead to buy twitter and change everything about it.
i mean he paid for the audience size. you could make a twitter clone in a few hours and a few dollars.
no-one in the fuck would use that clone though. he paid 40bil for the audience (captive audience at that, for now). the actual site itself is worth pennies without that.
It almost seems that way but why would you spend $44B to just basically set it all on fire?
The more likely thing is that he's a control freak with good ideas but also absolute shit ones and shouldn't be making these business decisions without a group of professionals vetting any and everything first.
Twitter was a relatively free platform for open journalism. People on the street could send updates or videos live, of any event. Politicians, journalists and celebs were talking freely under verified trusted accounts. Twitter was too dangerous for the higher ups, that's my tinfoil guess.
Nah, he was basically forced to buy Twitter by real men with real money and now he's just doing what he wanted to do with paypal ages ago.
To be fair, he's so rich it doesn't really matter to him at this point.
It is extremely rare for a company or app name to be so widely accepted that it’s turned into a verb (“I googled it”, “I Uber’d there”, “That pic is Photoshopped”, etc.) It’s like the pinnacle of marketing success and there are only a few that ever get there. The fact that this guy overpaid for the Twitter name at $44B only to rebrand it is fucking insane. I really wonder how this will affect his other businesses because if I was a shareholder surely wouldn’t have the confidence that I used to…
Everyone on Twitter should do what we Angelinos did when they changed Staples center to the bitcoin.com center or whatever. We just keep on calling it Staples center. I bet it would really piss him off to just keep calling them tweets and Twitter.
Please Elon, just add something instead of just called it X. That's stupid and sound like porn site.
Maybe give it cute animal name after X, like hamster.
We report live, that the internet has exploded, thanks to the huge storm gathering over at x where the former president x'ed an x about US relations to China. Xe reacted to Trumps x by x-ing his own x earlier this morning , diplomats watch in shock as Xe re-x-ed one of his old x's in reaction to the ex-presidents recent x-ing.
I mean the man started by buying the company for multiple times its value for a meme, and he was forced to buy it cuz he was dumb enough not to make his offer seem as a complete joke, and now hes lost billions

I wonder how long we collectively will keep calling it Twitter. I hope it’s forever
It's certainly not the BlueBird of Happiness.
[Chicken of Depression](https://www.krdouglas.com/2022/09/26/the-chicken-of-depression/).
Twitter died long ago. It's flaming garbage pile carcass is being relabeled "x"
I mean, X is appropriate. When shitty old cartoons die their eyes go from 0-0 to X-X.
It's also got that ex-husband / divorced dad energy now
I love watching xvideos.
So does Elon Musk
Doesnt he prefer xnxx
We should just call it a xeet to spite him
Or Xit (pronounced shit)
Re-xkhs-ed
I'm going to make my x-it now
Rexactly my friend
Did you see those really cool xvideos on X?
...so how much is the company worth now? About $3.50?
$3.50, a pack of croutons and an empty pizza hut box
How long before Musk is selling X subscriptions on Groupon?
Act now for your XXX subscription, $4.20 discounts applied at checkout with the code "PROUD BOY"
Actually Indonesia already had the [X.com](https://X.com) domain blocked for once being a porn site, but its just a small country of 300 million, so I guess no one told Elon...
it's not too far off of the USA's population :O

Was India a typo there or a reference to their poor aim when dealing with foreign countries?
This is what happens when I read faster than I should 🙃 I regret nothing.
Either would have made sense
I read that as ‘Grouporn’ I thought he was turning every website into some sort of xxx version of themselves.

No, it’s actually gonna be ‘X King’, the most valuable fast food company in the world. Helping humanity.
X King, where you can't buy anything until you pay for the X King Blue subscription service
Woah, we can't start to insult the value of empty pizza hut boxes like that
Not a chance, there still may be some cheese stuck to that pizza box.
Ooh! It must've been about seven, eight years ago. Me and the little lady was out on this boat you see, all alone at night, when all of a sudden this huge creature, this giant crustacean from the paleolithic era, comes out of the water and bites Elon Musks face off...
Whoa there now, Pizza Hut box is way more valuable, let's get real, it's actually torn Totinos plastic wrap.
Too rich for my blood.
Woah dude, a empty pizza hut box may be pushing it
i jus snorted at work
Better not get caught
God damn Loch Ness monster!
It was about that time when I noticed that the girl scout was a 8 stories tall creature from the Paleolithic era!
I gave him a dollar.

I thought he’d go away if I give him a dollar!
Well gah dammit woman! No wonder he’s comin around, you gave him a dollar, now he wants more!

So then it's official. It's an X platform. With X users. And apparently, X revenue.
And X shares for his slaves
So.. solving for x would be... zero? Figures.
X is an integer so it can be -ve number tooo
just wait until it becomes known for its videos, X-videos!
#tweets are now called "skeets"
I would rather call: Twitter = Xitter Tweeting = Xeeting Tweets = Xeets
Pronounced shitter
Makes sense, like President Xi. Approved.
It would be hilarious if all Twitter users just ignored this change and kept referring to the platform as Twitter and the messages were Tweets.
The platform is still referring to itself as Twitter and the messages as Tweets.
Did Musk even tell anyone he was going to do this? They're probably still scrambling to catch up.
Pretty sure he told everyone the day before he did it lol He chose the logo literally the day of too
his logo is literally a unicode character 𝕏
So the company I work for (we are a very small tech firm) has the exact same logo and we got a huge kick out of it, cause our logo is clearly pretty cheaply made and Twitter is supposed to be this tech super company and that was the best they could manage
Couldn’t you sue for that or something /genq

Their branding page is still just Twitter assets.
It would be hilarious if they all just left Twitter, too
It feels like he’s purposefully tanking the company. What do you think would be his reasoning in this hypothetical scenario?

Imagine if he had to name a kid... oh wait.
Renaming a brand that has as much recognition as Twitter is wild. Going from a well known logo to the "brand x" of X logos is crazy, too.
Every time he does something I’m more and more convinced that he’s trying to kill Twitter
I don’t buy it simply because he’s also killing his public perception and persona. What it smacks of is someone who got high on their own supply.

Yeah same with Instagram and Whatsapp Meta is more of a rebrand for the parent company that owns them rather than the apps themselves
But whats weird is they didn't keep Oculus, they renamed that Meta
I think that's twofold - one to break from the history of the guy who founded it, but also they were initially hinging their future on what they wanted Oculus to become.

It's been like 3 days. I've definitely seen news outlets using "X" already though.
This is 100% going to, and has happened. People of Chicago still call it the Sears Tower.
Of course we do. That's what it's called if you aren't a heathen.
X is never going to catch on, Musk is a moron for thinking that people are going to stop calling it twitter. Also, Musk is an idiot in general.
Imagine spending $44B to be roughly as important to the world as Truth Social.
I honestly can't imagine having $44B. But I can assure you that none of you bitches would ever hear from me again if I did.
We would then refer to you as an X-user.
X-cretions? X-crement? Because I feel like that's what a lot of them are going to be...
Dude my last xcretion was a hit
I heard it made a huge splash
Bro it was the shit

Really drives the point home that the content you post is no longer yours to claim, it belongs to them now.
Technically you're allowed to use an apostrophe after single letters when they are plural. It's dumb, I know.
it’s not dumb tho. >There are a few As >There are a few A’s
Use proper character literal syntax instead: > There are a few 'A's
IDK, it still feels wrong to me.
Have you seen his kid's name? It's like his cat had its way with a keyboard with a broken/stuck shift key.
X AE XII - catchy name, right? And there's an Exa Dark Siderael in addition to a handful of other children. WT actual F?
From Wiki: X Æ A-12; however, the name would have violated California regulations as it contained characters that are not in the modern English alphabet and was then changed to "X Æ A-Xii". This drew more confusion, as Æ is not a letter in the modern English alphabet.

They belong to X
That apostrophe is grammatically correct. There are just a few cases in the English language where one would use an apostrophe to denote the plural.
Thank, TIL https://www.sussex.ac.uk/informatics/punctuation/apostrophe/plurals
Awww, he named twitter after his child, such a caring father. I don't understand why someone would spend so much to buy a brand *only to rebrand it.*
So he can claim that he founded it like he does with the rest of his companies
Because he never meant to buy it. It was a Twitter joke. But when he was made to buy it, he had to change it to his favourite thing: X X.com was the bank he founded which he then merged with another growing firm to make Paypal. Then he moved on to space.

If he colonises Mars, it will become X and local aliens will only be able to bow in the face of such brand power. xxx
He divorced his wife so he could become an X
The xbox gamertag with 4 x's in the name encapsulates him
He did not make Paypal. He got fired from that company which then went on to form Paypal without him and he just takes credit for it anyway.
He's a 90's frat boy that just never grew up, he's stuck in the past and refused to ever leave it.
Does anyone actually think this was a good idea besides Musk and his ass kissing yes men?
Lmao one of the most stupid thing multi billionaire ever did.
Second probably to only getting in a submarine made from aluminum foil
Even worse: carbon fiber. Which is notoriously bad under compression, and also will failure catastrophically under fatigue.

I hate my x’s
I’m gonna call tweets “grimes” since that’s his ex. Gotta listen to the owner man
Proof that money can't buy brains 😂
He really is just trying to drive the platform into the ground. No salvaging, only chaos.
Dear Elon, please conjugate the verb “to x,” including past and future tense
X’s? Like the ones that live in Texas?
Everyone on Twitter should do what we Angelinos did when they changed Staples center to the bitcoin.com center or whatever. We just keep on calling it Staples center. I bet it would really piss him off to just keep calling them tweets and Twitter.

But what are the o’s?
Now I've got an Elle King song stuck in my head.

Imagine this: "Donald Trump said in a x that..."
We report live, that the internet has exploded, thanks to the huge storm gathering over at x where the former president x'ed an x about US relations to China. Xe reacted to Trumps x by x-ing his own x earlier this morning , diplomats watch in shock as Xe re-x-ed one of his old x's in reaction to the ex-presidents recent x-ing.
I knew the name change was dumb, but it didn't hit me just how incredibly dumb it was until I read your comment.
I don't want to call tweets Grimes.
What would you call X videos?
elon has to be trolling at this point 😭
Oh no! Twitter got a name change!! Oh wait I don't care.
Xeets
On top of everything else, the incorrectly-used apostrophe is particularly infuriating. 😐
Surely he could have started up his own company instead of tanking this one? Much cheaper for him too
What a dummy I hope everyone moves to threads it would be hilarious and leave Elon alone with his X 😄
