Musk can seem to do no right atm, I see a lot of hate out there with this name change and planned product expansion but I can’t quite understand why. He’s taking an underperforming social network and trying to make it work. It might prove fatal, but it would have died a slow boring death in its old form. Perhaps its just that people don’t like his personality, which shouldn’t come into it. Fwiw even prior to his defu…

You answered your own questions really with " Musk can seem to do no right atm " - for some of us, it's just incredibly funny to watch the hubris of a self-proclaimed genius cause them to fail so often in such a short space of time. A seemingly endless string of stupid decisions because he's surrounded by boot lickers and sycophants with not one of them willing to put their hand up and tell him he's not a genius.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

I think he just thinks he’s getting his revenge and that everyone will see how his terrible idea of x.com was actually genius back in the day. Like a particularly expensive midlife crisis. A bit like some dudes who start playing guitar because they could not back in the day, when it was a useful tool t…

Oh the Accessibility hawks at accounts like MathAbuse ( https://twitter.com/MathAbuse ) fighting Unicode 'fancy text' are gonna love this

It's strange they think computers don't have the ability to read text just because it looks fancier.

This is for math. In Latex, you get these symbols with \mathbb{}. They are most commonly used to represent to represent number sets, like the set of all integers Z (from the German), set of all natural numbers N, set of complex numbers C, set of all real numbers R, rationals Q (for “quotient”), set of quaternions H (named after Hamilton), or an unknown set F (for “field”). This explains why many of the letters in thi…

  The central theme of this paper is the variational analysis of
  homeomorphisms $h \colon \mathbb X \xrightarrow []{{}_{\!\!\mathrm
  {onto}\!\!}}\mathbb Y$ between two given domains $\mathbb X ,
  \mathbb Y \subset \mathbb R^n$.

You can also access x.com when using the Unicode Character https://xn--971h.com (𝕏.com)

I wonder what Elon paid for x.com?
