I don't use it, but i'll forever call it Twitter.
Hey, good news, Elon. Most of us have gone from calling it "twitter" to calling it "that facist shithole that used to be twitter".
Good job wasting 43 BILLION dollars only to see it's traffic literally cut in half, you micro-penised shitstain on society. You will not be remembered as the genius your group of ass kissers tell you you are. You'll be remembered as being dumber than a one brain celled orange tabby.
You're being optimistic. He won't be remembered at all.
All the biggest disasters are remembered.
X is still such a stupid fucking name. I feel cringe saying that.
I won't. It will always be twitter, and he bought it because people made fun of him.
He offered to buy it as a joke, and was forced to finish the transaction because he had taken it too far by actually signing contracts and putting money down. He was gonna go "Just kidding" and pull out, but then the courts told him that this already constituted a legally binding sell and if he tried to back out now he'd go to jail for fraud.
It's very "hacking, trenchcoats, and Muse are cool" isn't it?
Like, yeah. Obviously this guy thought of it...
Its almost funnier to see every news publication constantly refer to it as "X (formerly known as Twitter"), the constant need to remind people of how stupid the decision was it amusing
I prefer "Twitter (temporarily known as X)"
That would imply he or someone else will change the name back to Twitter
He looks high as giraffe pussy in that picture.
..........ya know, I'm 40 years old, and up until this point in my life I've never once considered what a giraffe pussy looks like......and my brain isn't capable of doing so. Maybe that's a good thing.
They got a zoo in your town?
I don't think I like where this is going...
Maybe he should buy Alphabet and rename their search engine.
Ooh or he could buy out Kleenex and rename that.
What the fuck would make someone throw out the name Twitter? It wasn't a bad name. It wasn't like...Phillip Morris or something.
"wasn't a bad name" is the understatement of the year. it was one of the most successful brand names ever. normal people with functioning brains would kill to have a brand that's so ingrained in the language, especially without the threat of genericizing the trademark.
xerox didn't want people to use xerox as a generic verb to mean photocopy, or kleenex the same for a generic tissue.
but Twitter was never used to mean another social media site, and tweeting never means posting on Facebook or Tumblr or whatever. a tweet is specifically a post on Twitter. that's the perfect brand.
He’s been wanting to have an “everything” company named X for years, since before PayPal I think. So he jumped at the chance to ruin twitter of course and rebuild it from the top down
I’m gonna deadname his company for as long as he deadnames his kid :)
There's no such thing as deadnaming a company/corporation/brand, they aren't a living entity and have no will of their own, the one offended is their owner.
except they get more rights
Is there anything the average person can do to increase the running cost of Twitter without increasing their revenue?
Like, can we just automate uploading videos of nothing meaningful, and re-loading them over and over forever?
I'm still pushing Xitter, pronounced with the "shee" sound
That's what I call it.
Awww. Poor Twitler doesn’t like his propaganda arm called Twitter.
It is always morally correct to deadname transphobes. Including JD Vance who's "Real" name is James Bowman
That's pretty much what I've said about Twitter since he changed the name- I'll keep calling it Twitter while he still allows deadnaming.
What is deadnaming?
Intentionally using the former name ("dead name") of a (typically trans) person with the intent to cause harm
Dude literally bought Kleenex and insists you call it facial tissue paper.
Nah. He bought Kleenex and insists that you call it 42 because it's a cool number.
I still don't use twitter
