    Wouldn’t you want to forward Twitter.com to X.com and not the other way around?? It’s not possible someone with this much wealth is this dumb.

      He renamed the site Eggs, so call them eggs. I really don’t see how this is supposed to get rid of the bird theme though.

    Promotes the name change by linking to something that calls it Twitter. Big brain time from Musk yet again.

      I thought it was a logo change not name change.

    Im fucking sure Elon pretty much drew the logo himself and gets a wild boner when he thinks how fucking smart he is.

    Probably something that makes it even harder and more confusing to understand in context, so I’m gonna say he calls them “texts”

    I thought Elon stepped down from Twitter and hired a new CEO? What’s he still doing there?

      He stepped down as CEO but is still president, CTO and anything else he feels like being while he can scapegoat his female CEO for anything he wants.

    early user testing of the new service reports are that the iconic tweet sound will be replaced by an ai-generated voice recording of deceased rapper DMX’s iconic canine-esque barking even though DMX’s estate has not given permission nor will they receive any compensation.

    when sending messages, it will make a sound of “x gonna give it to ya”. again, no compensation to be had to the DMX estate, nor the ruff ryders.

      It’s a symbol to his fan base. Which is wild that that’s the head space he’s in. Still trying to be that cool kid amongst his rabble of friends.

      It’s not even “new” he was trying to get PayPal called X and everyone squashed it (thankfully), so even there, he’s been waiting like 25y to get X on something lol

    I can’t imagine how much the x.com domain costed him. Like I know most three or four letter domains trade hands for six figures sometimes since there’s so few

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-letter_second-level_domain

    Like apparently single letter domains are reserved so idk how he got one

    Edit: found out. He bought it from PayPal after they stopped using it for their brand years ago. $6.8 million dollars for a domain.

      Money. If something is “reserved” or even “illegal” you just need to pay more

      He wanted PayPal to be called X so I’m wondering if he didn’t have this domain the whole time.
