He’s changing it to a toilet, to match what most people call the platform these days.
Lets kill twitter by a boring ”X”

Elon is a genius! He removed the bird, symbolizing the loss of freedom for its user and his company’s inability to soar to great heights.
The bird leaving indicates an impeding catastrophe about to hit his company and the new symbol “X” is just as clever, because that’s the sign people will click on when they go uninstall the app. Soon, the relationship between Twitter and its users will be nonexistent, just like Musk and his “X” wives
It’s especially relevant when you consider the phrase “Canary in a coal mine”, which literally and figuratively describes early warning of a problem.

wants to create a super app for everything
-
limits DMs because they can’t manage spam
yeah, ok buddy

yes lets change the one thing twitter has left a recognizable brand
If someone actually wanted to run Twitter into the ground on purpose, they couldn’t do it better than that.
Which makes me wonder was he specifically tasked with destroying it?
I think he’s just kind of a jackass, and he got himself into something he couldn’t get out of - like he’s always been able to do - and now he’s desperately throwing shit at the wall to fix it. He knows it’s not going well, and maybe he knows that everything he’s trying won’t actually help, but desperate people don’t reason well.
I’d pity him if he weren’t also human garbage.
He’s the richest guy on Earth, there’s no one to “task” him with anything. Never explain with malice what could better be explained by stupidity.
Disagree on richest since most of his value (like everyone else on these lists) is from his stock portfolio.
The actual richest and most powerful people rarely are on these lists.
Also certain “govts” and authorities who control oil are the ones who most dislike services like twitter so…
Twitter? Doesn’t ring a bell, sorry.

With the new “x” logo and a new cute animal mascot, I propose they move to xhamster.com

I dont believe that. Let me do my own research. See yall in a few hours…
Ugh, not this X thing. What a farce.
I’m sure it was remarked upon at the time, but naming your company “X Corp” is the most lame comic book supervillain shit I’ve ever heard. Like not even main supervillain, but more like sub Hammer level. One of those bad guys who is always coming up with elaborate schemes for petty shit and getting his ass handed to him by tertiary level heroes.
I have no idea why CNN would do a news story on what amounts to a marketing gimmick from a website.
Cough Televised Trump “Town Hall” Cough
CNN isn’t what it used to be…
There’s no empty Trump or DeSantis podiums for them to air I guess
Do you see all the engagement this post is getting? It’s not just a marketing gimmick for Twitter…
Money!
Money, uh, finds a way
They’re probably different enough to not get sued but I wouldn’t want to risk Amazon getting litigious.
He’s also risking legal action from Microsoft (DirectX, Xbox), Apple (OS X), Google (skunkworks called Google X), Xvideos, Firaxis (XCOM) and Meta (owns a trademark on X in social media they bought from MS for what became Facebook Games) all at the same time.
We really need a way to block by keywords. Elon Musk says is about as worthless as Donald Trump says.
Could handle it xkcd style with a browser extension.
I would say more actively harmful (since there’s often some attempt at manipulation behind the words) than worthless.
So…birds aren’t real?
A-well-a bird bird bird, bird is the word
A-well-a don’t you know about the bird?
Well everybody’s talkin’ about the bird!
