Hehe twitter stocks go brrrrr
Maybe I missed the joke, but Twitter no longer has stocks since Elon took it private.
Nah. I’m just gonna keep deadnaming Twitter for as long as Musk keeps deadnaming his child.
Deadnaming Twitter is the only deadnaming I support
I compromise and call it Xitter. (The X is pronounced with a “sh” sound.) I think it fits.
It clashes with this mobile application: https://f-droid.org/packages/org.nuclearfog.twidda/
Wow… They just totally embraced it, huh.
I’m surprised this doesn’t catch on more, it’s absolute perfection.
Here’s a low stakes conspiracy. Musk went all in on the “Birds aren’t real” thing, and is now trying to erase birds from the internet.
Elon wants to change everything about the site and he will.
All posts are X-posts… ;-)
I prefer “xcretion” or “xcremement” in general.
Literally every single day we have idiots doing Musk’s PR work for free.
Downvote Musk spam. The billionaire doesn’t need your help ensuring his businesses stay in the 24 hour news cycle.
X has now become just like any other social media platform. Posts are just called “posts” just like anywhere else.
Looks like Elon Musk has become the Elongated Muskrat once again.
Nothing says marketing genius like throwing away one of the most recognisable brands in the industry and replacing it with “X”
When your brand gets to the point where it turns into a verb why on earth would you ever torpedo that?
It’s like if Google changed their name to “search” and prodded people to say “just search it” instead of “just google it”.
It’s even worse. It would be like Google changing their name to Y and telling people to “just search it”.
So if they have publicly abandoned the Twitter brand identity, can someone else use it?
Because a lot of people are ready for a retro clone.
Start calling everything posted online a tweet and eventually it’ll become a generic trademark.
Would be pretty hilarious for something to take the name. But it’s doubtful that they release the name. Twitter.com still directs to x.com
Enjoy the show, this pyre is fucking massive. Literally turned a brand that became engrained into culture and destroyed it in record time.
