genoxidedev1 ( @genoxidedev1@kbin.social ) 24•2 years agoWe all had to take tags like xXBigChungus69Xx because Elon took the original xXXXx 😤

Baby Shoggoth [she/her] ( @rubythulhu@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 45•2 years agoElon is doing this so he can pretend that if someone says “i saw your ex today” he can pretend they were talking about his tweet, change my view

ken27238 ( @ken27238@beehaw.org ) 21•2 years agoThis 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.

Kara ( @Kara@kbin.social ) 20•2 years agoMe when I post an X on X.com, owned by X Corp, which is owned by the father of X Æ A-12
Holzkohlen ( @Holzkohlen@feddit.de ) 2•2 years agoI give you this little tidbit from wikipedia I read yesterday:
According to Musk and Grimes, his name was “X Æ A-12” (/ɛks æʃ eɪ ˈtwɛlv/); 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 Æ A-Xii”. This drew more confusion, as Æ 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.

Uriel238 [all pronouns] ( @uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 2•2 years agoSomeone 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.
