This seems like it’s a ploy just to get attention and traffic. Seems that it’s working as I’m seeing it in all the news sites.
Maybe. I mean they got a page load from me just to see if x.com would redirect. IDK if that’s the desired effect though.
They just killed many years of brand loyalty IMO.
At least the greatest advantage of renaming it to “X” is that now, I know where to click whenever I’ll unwillingly open up a page from that said website. 😃
instead of tweet you now xcrete
I guess birds aren’t real after all.
As an X Japan fan, this is all very confusing.
𝕏
Neat
No way, it’s not even an original logo?
He crowdsourced the thing with like less than a day to review.
And completely ignored the crowdsourced contributions in favor of the Most. Generic. Logo. Ever.
I mean, if you look at it and squint hard, it kind of looks like a bird in flight with its wings spread? But hardly immediately recognizable, much less iconic.
The death of Twitter as we know…
Well I moved to Masrodon so no big deal.
Hahaha. Wow is this ever stupid. And getting stupider by the second.
Such a genuinely shit name.
I’m not even one of the rabid Musk haters, but it’s just an absolutely dreadful name that a 10 year old thinks is cool…
I fully expect people to still be calling it twitter for a long time.
That’s because it’s an established brand with a huge value to it. Everyone knows twitter. Only an idiot would throw that away.
Musk has been on a roll of bad decisions since he first offered to buy Twitter lmao
He was making terrible decisions way before that.
Yes but Twitter is a 44 billion dollar mistake
You make a very good and very expensive point.
I call it “irrelevant.”
I wish…
I may…
I call meta still facebook. fuck this rebranding bullshit to disssociate with shittyness
Meta/Facebook and Google/Alphabet are very different from Twitter/X. The first two created parent companies under which their large brand names still exist, but are now managed along with their other properties (Instagram,
Snapchat, Waymo, Deepmind, etc.) Musk, meanwhile, is trying to completely burn down the Twitter brand for some incomprehensible reason.Snapchat isn’t owned by meta btw
Yeah just like Meta will allways be Facebook for me
You just nailed Elons personality.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=hi3RDMG-ePs
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
This is perfect
I bet you all next he will rebrand some of his other companies as ‘S’ (SpaceX?) and ‘E’ (??) just to be CEO of SEX. This man is so extremely childish.
He already has done it for Tesla models: S, 3, X, Y

This has been his plan since a long time ago, he’s just following up on it now https://edition.cnn.com/2022/10/05/tech/everything-app-x-musk-china-wechat-learnings-intl-hnk/index.html

But it goes back much further than that. Musk wanted to rebrand PayPal X before they ousted him as CEO more than 20 years ago. He is so proud that he bought this domain in the 90s that he just keeps trying to make it a thing despite the inherent ambiguity.
Calling it a “plan” is quite generous.
This is what has me convinced that this whole thing isn’t 4D chess to eliminate Twitter as a tool of left wing speech and organizing. He loves the whole “X” concept. Rebranding Twitter to X feels too authentic to be a cynical destruction of the platform.
I really want X.org to challenge this move in court and win!
Twitter is now X as the little blue bird disappears
I thought the the new logo was the X11 logo at first, they are bit similar.
Also a bit ironic seeing as Musk wants
TwitterX to be an “everything app”, while X11’s cruft and bloated featureset have led to it being replaced by Wayland.
It would actually take serious effort to think of a worse name. Besides everyone knew what Twitter and tweeting are. Incomprehensible decision.

If we lived in meritocracy, Elon would be living in his moms basement instead of being a billionaire.
He did it to silence critics and the X is a symbol to his fans.
Stop posting about this dude, you’re not getting paid to promote it.
I swear people have just become slaves to bad content for the sake of acknowledgement.
