It took me a while to understand it's not yet another Twitter meme
Another reason why that name is so fucking stupid.
Let's throw away a decade of branding that most companies would kill to have, and instead replace it with a symbol that people click on to escape from ads.
And get rid of the algorithm so the “right” content is pushed.
And get rid of the workers that kept everything going.
And get rid of verification so anyone can look like a company statement and affect stock.
It's a muskism.
I hereby define that term as a noun meaning an "impulsive decision you know you'll regret later, but you make it anyway, just to annoy people".
