What’s a tweet going to be called? A xeet?
Removed by mod
Xit. Pronounced as in Xi Jinping.
Watch it remain being called a tweet.
My friend suggested “an xcrement.”
We can say then that Elon Musk is full of xeet
Pronounced “skeet”
I was going for “shit” but skeet works too.
They are annoying like mosquitos
and when you publish one it’s called “shooting”
Why not make it a black X on a round white background surrounded by red? (/s)
With little arms for the X so it looks like it’s strong or something too right? (Also /s and obligatory fuck nazis)
Also fuck Nazis for co-opting that beautiful symbol.
Wow, first time on Lemmy and already see someone calling the Hakenkreuz beautiful…
I’m not sure how to take this comment?
Oh he’s taking about Nazis um ok … Zips up pants
Free press - this is a ‘New Coke’ moment for Twitter. They’ll announce a new name and logo, then roll it back after the outcry they expect. However, the elon boot-lickers will ‘love the name’ and everyone else will think it’s funny in a schadenfreude kind of way. So it will be super transparent.
I suspect they’ll ultimately make twitter a subsidiary of a company called ‘X’. (Elon has access to x.com, and has probably wanted to use it for a while.)
Twitter’s legal name is already X. It was changed months ago with official announcement. Someone tried to sue Twitter, which is how we found out.
Yep, its listed as owned by X Corp on Wikipedia.
Usually I would have said that this rebrand is amongst the hall of fame entrees, side by side with MAX (former HBO Max), but given that it’s Musk we’re talking about, the platform is already dead anyway
Yikes
Xikes*
Xixes
Xixex
Xxx
Wait…too far
X
No such thing as too far.
Yix
He may change the name, but he’s still a twit.
What a dumbass. Let’s throw out all the well-known brand recognition we paid for and then spend millions of dollars we don’t have on a new name and logo.
Yeah makes a lot of sense. I know, pay an exorbitant price for a ubiquitous brand then change it to something obscure. Sounds like a great business plan to me. You go Elon.
Definitely where energy and effort should be allocated to fix twitters problems
I appreciate Musk. He shows me what I should have always realized on my own which is many of the super rich folks are there only due to mommy and daddy money and nothing more.
Also that internet edgelords can be successful, if they’re born into wealth.
Thinking “X” is a cool letter is exactly what I’d expect from a middle-aged wannabe edgelord.
@MisterMoo @mastermind I was saying ‘X Corp’ sounds like a company that’s about to be robbed in Batman Beyond.
He wants it to look even more like an evil sci-fi corporation? Come on, who is gonna be Superman and take out this dorky Lex Luther loser.
Next thing you know he’s gonna make the color palette a red x and black
You’re close I think it is black with a white X or gray X
Musk is such a man-child. He keeps surprising me, in the most bizarre and negative ways.
You shouldn’t be surprised. It’s absolutely true to form for him.
Fair enough.
We all know rebranding Facebook as Meta brought so much value to the company and it’s users /s Honestly he does whatever the fuck he wants i am tired of seeing his face everywhere, just stop posting whatever he does:" musk go to pee" , "musk ate a lunch! "
I respectfully disagree. Is he an idiot who’s making horrible business decisions? Sure! But changing the name of one of the most famous social media platforms is worth posting on a technology community.
Not when he does and says a remarkably stupid thing about once a month.
How many times can Elon shoot himself in the foot with Twitter before it dies
It seems intentional, but why would he do that?
Why let the poors have a place to communicate?
Because he doesn’t actually understand how anything works.
It’s really hard for me to believe he’s that stupid but it keeps coming back to that.
