When I was 8 I loved the letter X and used it in a bunch of my cringe gamertags like "Player X". this man is a literal child thinking this sounds cool.
We all had to take tags like xXBigChungus69Xx because Elon took the original xXXXx π€
SpaceX. He's completed his little circle.
Elon is doing this so he can pretend that if someone says βi saw your ex todayβ he can pretend they were talking about his tweet, change my view
(Un)fortunately, that only works in English, as far as I know.
Nah, works in norwegian, and german if your ex is a guy
This is a textbook example of how to not do a rebrand. The only thing that has change on twitter is the logo, nothing else. Everything else is still twitter.
Then again this rebrand is right on the money for how Elon is managing twitter.
So right! A leading marketing professor at Northwestern is already breaking it down into the key lessons to learn from these mistakes:

Me when I post an X on X.com, owned by X Corp, which is owned by the father of X Γ A-12
I give you this little tidbit from wikipedia I read yesterday:
According to Musk and Grimes, his name was "X Γ A-12" (/Ιks Γ¦Κ eΙͺ ΛtwΙlv/); however, the name would have violated California regulations as it contained characters that are not in the modern English alphabet,[476][477] and was then changed to "X Γ A-Xii". This drew more confusion, as Γ is not a letter in the modern English alphabet.[478] The child was eventually named X AE A-XII Musk, with "X" as a first name, "AE A-XII" as a middle name, and "Musk" as surname.
I found it funny.
I'll have a Y, please.
Another consonant please, Carol
Z, thank you Sean
X gon give it to ya
What a dumb asshole.
Someone should rent the Tweety Bird brand from Time Warner and make a Twitter clone social media platform identical to o.d Twitter (only the logo is Tweety on a blue Looney Tunes circles background), that way, when one posts there, it's called a tweet or tweeting
If someone did this, I bet everyone would totally migrate.
