Twitter's transition to "X" begins

Twitter owner Elon Musk said the social media company will change its logo soon, getting rid of the blue bird that’s long been its signature.

“If a good enough X logo is posted tonight, we’ll make go live worldwide tomorrow,” Musk tweeted late Saturday.

Does not compute.

Get woke. Go broke

It will be difficult to reprogram the name Twitter from the lexicon of use. It's a ubiquitous term akin to 'Hoover' or 'Google'. Musk is essentially renaming streets instead of fixing the real issue with the platform.

And this is where twitter dies

And this is where twitter dies

Am starting to wonder if this is the company management equivalent of match-fixing.

The hill it dies on is marked X on the map.

Musk is essentially renaming streets

It's a South African pastime.

(X) Won't even say your own name when I come around
(X) Stay on top but remain from the underground
(X) to the Z and we all in the family
(X) Rearrange the whole game with my rugged sound
(X) Won't even say your own name when I come around
(X) Stay on top but remain from the underground
(X) to the Z and we all in the family

I had actually forgot that they have a CEO given that Musk is still as ubiquitous as ever making all of the important announcements around, tech, marketing, strategy, etc.

Perhaps it's a sweet tribute by a loving father to his child, to make up for double down on his past mistakes?

Why?

NGL not too confident with this one.
Throwing away all your brand recognition for what...?

So is it still tweeting? Are we X'ing now?

 

[UrBaN963]

Yea this is a dumb move in my opinion. "Tweeting" and "tweets" are synonymous with Twitter. You can't buy that level of recognition and popularity.

I think he mentioned some time ago he wants to turn it into something like WeChat.

Nope. Twitter's dead. Again

We're all Masterbating now. Well those of us who aren't Threading

 

[Agent_Smith]

So media on Twitter would be .... xvideos?

Looks like a ponzi scheme.

MLM more like. You need to bring victims to earn money. Which is the same as all the other SM companies.

That doesn't matter really. The crux of the matter is where will the masses be gathered? X.
