Earlier quoted context omitted.
"I xed it." the new verb sounds like using a dodgy porn site.
Ironically it sounds like the alternate pronouns he hates so much.
His new pronouns are he/him/x

Re: Twitter has officially changed its logo to ‘X’
#272This man is burning anything that had any value at Twitter. From an extremely valuable list of verified users to the name which is even used as a verb. There is absolutely no reason to rename Twitter. The name isn't even that stained compared to like Comcast or what ever the name was of that phone company in the 90s that sucked so bad it was renamed.
I think Elon is a bit misguided, especially in his business ventures in the UK. For instance, it seems egregious to most people that Elon expects people to pay £100 a year for a social media site in the midst of a Cost of Living crisis. Personally, I don't see what the hype is around Elon. I think he's done good things, but in other ways he's not a very good businessman.
Honestly, this may be one of the good things he did. The entire population has gotten way too comfortable with free and it would be ideal if we could get away from this model.

#273Plot twist: Elon realized how harmful twitter is to the society and decided to destroy it.

#275Musk's either trying to show everyone how _not_ to approach web product development and engineering, part of some weird accelerationist ploy, or he's simply lost the plot.

#276I think Elon Musk is planning to expand the features of Twitter and transform this social network in something bigger and not entirely correlated with we know as Twitter right now. We should expect some big announcements after this name change.

#277It's not pining, it's passed on! This bird is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet its maker! This is a late bird! It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed it to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies! It's run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible! This is an x-bird!
No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable bird, the X, idn'it, ay? Beautiful plumage!
Re: Twitter has officially changed its logo to ‘X’
#278A solid move to instill faith with advertisers that what is left of "the platform formerly known as twitter" will be stable, avoid confusion with their users, and be a brand-positive environment. What's everyone's timetable for either shutdown or sell-off of twitter, 18 months. Ad revenue will continue to shrink, effective 'cost per' rates will decrease while Ex-Twitter will try to squeeze out stable or higher, likel…
X-Twitter :)
Twix?
Re: Twitter has officially changed its logo to ‘X’
#279I don’t really see what Musk is trying to accomplish. Everything he’s done to Twitter carries the foul stench of Death by Private Equity. No product improvements, but worse reliability, more spam, and a weird desperate-looking rebrand. This is what it looks like when inept MBAs try to squeeze some more life out of a dying platform. The strange thing here is that Musk’s acquisition was supposed to be the exact opposit…

Twitter wasnt profitable or sustainable so he s going to experiment in whatever way possible only to realize what everybody knows: mass media is not profitable in the financial sense, but in the political

#280The Brand Toolkit page needs updating - https://about.twitter.com/en/who-we-are/brand-toolkit Not only does it still have the bird it says "Our logo is our most recognizable asset. That’s why we’re so protective of it. Take a moment to think about how you apply it and take a read of our Brand Guidelines for examples of how we like you to use it."
