I guess X Æ A-12 was already taken so he went with X.

You’re not kidding…
Because it IS broken. This is how he fixes it. People still associate Twitter with the censoring platform it was under Jack Dorsey. He needs to get new subscribers and promote it as a freer platform than it was before. This makes sense.
How the hell is it a “freer platform” if you will need to pay up to send DMs to your friends, and even paid users are limited in how many tweets and comments they can view? I am convinced Elon and Spez are actively trying to kill their platforms at this point, and the bootlickers are just delusional.
shrugal@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That’s the capitalistic definition of freedom. Everything is allowed as long as you have the money.

Wont there be a trademark problem with Xorg? It’s too similar in terms of name and logo
zeppo@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Facebook rebranded as Meta and simply ignored that there was already a company in the tech business named that.
shrugal@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Idk if you really can copyright a letter of the alphabet.
kvinayak99@lemmy.world 11 months ago
A trademark is not same as a copyright iirc. Apple did not come up with the word apple. Yet it’s a trademark. And Apple has a track record of suing smaller companies for trademark violations with silly reasoning
May be Xorg can sue elon musk? idk. Depends on whether they are willing to drain money in a legal battle with a billionaire
db2@lemmy.one 11 months ago
Also can someone else make something with a blue bird and call it Twitter now, arguing that both trademarks were actively abandoned?
Pika@lemmy.world 11 months ago
wait musk is pulling a card from
FacebookMeta’s playbook? interestingMrFlamey@lemmy.world 11 months ago
So he bought the users and is hoping some of them stay while he rebrands? Or he genuinely just wants to destroy Twitter? I just have no idea what this man is doing, but perhaps he’ll prove us all wrong and show that he really is a genius in a five years?
Tesco@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I mean his genius solution to the steering wheel being on the wrong side for UK Tesla’s was to give owners a big stick. I think it’s safe to say he’s not a genius.
DarthBueller@lemmy.world 11 months ago
What? Please explain or link, this sounds wildly amusing.
skulblaka@kbin.social 11 months ago
He's making world culture healthier by removing Twitter from it. It's a brave, selfless move of self-sacrifice (that he most certainly never intended)

I had to reread this 3 times because it feels like an article from the Onion

He can change the name to Twitler. Not a big change but much more fitting.@Technological_Burger

Why we linking fox business 🤮
HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Because Fox news is not Fox Business tbh. Fox news is absolute racist propaganda trash, but fox business seems to be better because they actually report business and financial news without the propaganda garbage.
MelonTheMan@lemmy.world 11 months ago
without the propaganda garbage.
I’d disagree, still rife with garbage. Is it more palatable and more subtle? Sure.
I’d still rather not push any views or engagement to them in the first place. Link one of the countless other news sites with the same talking points. Hell this article was copied from Reuters on to fox business.

Dude is determined to ruin Twitter by making it unrecognizable…

This man should stop naming things.
Norgur@kbin.social 11 months ago

It’s like… is he doing this on purpose?
flauschke@kbin.flauschke.de 11 months ago
I mean he started with x.com and so it seems fitting that he might also end his career with it.
Sizably8826@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It’s quite Xpected but what a way to fumble 40 mil
marx2k@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Bil. 44 bil.
FrankFrankson@lemmy.world 11 months ago
For a company that was worth maybe 20 billion. Smartest business man ever… even more smarter than Trump.
GustavoM@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Put in two more X’s and it’ll be…
…oh nvm, it already is.
'WAHHH B-BUT FASC–"
Sorry lad, but you can’t change the world by shouting buzzwords at others and expect em to (magically) become the way you want em to b— sorry, “different”. N-n-no, wait…! Uhm… more… “socially accepted” towards an “excluded minority”. :^)
squaresinger@feddit.de 11 months ago
Yay, Elon learned his 24th letter!
Merulox@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’ve already given up on Twitter, having no real attachment to the platform anymore, so all that remains for me is genuine curiosity and excitement as to what the platform is going to become.
Because “X: the everything app” is an ambitious project done by one of the biggest social media apps, I think whatever happens next is going to be very interesting.
