Anyone have any knowledge of how the new CEO and Elons relationship is regarding the business? I'd be curious how the conversation goes with her about this kinda stuff.

Not only the bird, but all of the associated verbiage. For example, Tweet and Retweet. Do those go away after changing the name and logo?
Yeah lol, Musk wants to call them xs now. Like "your x last night was pretty great" or "will you share your x with me again?" Not even kidding. https://apnews.com/article/twitter-x-logo-blue-bird-musk-068... > In response to questions about what tweets would be called when the rebranding is done, Musk said they would be called Xs.
By coincidence, a lot of people I know have already been calling them twats.

Clearly none of the marketing or branding people stayed on. Or he ignores them.

You're right I should've used "as a symbol" not "as the symbol". It's not terribly common.
Now that I think about it, most double stroked characters really represent "concrete" objects, not generic ones. Like β for projective space, or πΈ for affine space. Also π½ is often used together with an index π½_q for the field with q elements. On the other hand, Wikipedia[1] agrees with you, that π is "occasionally" used for metric spaces.

In set theory blackboard bold P, Q and C are very often used for arbitrary (forcing) posets

#215> Looking forward to #Musk trying to trademark a Unicode symbol, in this case π :) Maybe we should start using #x1D54F as the new Hashtag for everything #Twitter and #X #π :) [0] [0] https://social.wildeboer.net/@jwildeboer/110768919254064477
Beautiful. :):):):)

> I donβt know why people are interested in the X symbol. It's the new symbol for and domain name of the social? network formerly known as twitter.

Can you please not break the site guidelines by fulminating, name-calling, snarking, and so on? It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.
You may not owe $CEO better, but you owe this community better if you're participating in it.

because elon renamed twitter to "x corp", bought the x.com domain and shoved this character on it.
He (or a company of his) has had the x.com domain for decades: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.com
I get a βgodaddy parkedβ page for x.com (not even a βyβ or a βzβ):

The bird is a lot more recognizable, no? Maybe even beautiful?
It sounds like Elon had the domain and it was burning a hole in his pocket. That's the only explanation, honestly.
Twitter as a brand becomes less valuable the more he alters it, since he's such a polarizing figure, so changing the brand to break continuity seems pretty counterproductive. It just reminds people that Elon is still fiddling with it.
Re: Unicode Character βπβ (U+1D54F)
#220Strongly reminds me of the X11 logo (one of my favourite designs).
Yea, kinda feels like X.org would have a decent trademark case if they wanted to pursue it. Both the name and logo are really similar, and it seems like both companies are operating in similar enough categories that its not too hard to imagine there being confusion between the two.
Musk has the deeper pockets. I'm more worried about him suing x.org and winning.
