    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.

      If someone actually wanted to run Twitter into the ground on purpose, they couldn’t do it better than that.

          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…

      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.

      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.
