Imagine spending 40 billion dollars on one of the most recognizable brands in history, so deeply embedded in the public consciousness that any other company would throw virgins into a volcano for a chance at that level of recognition, just to replace all of that branding with your own little name that everyone has been telling you sounds stupid for the last 25 years
Welcome to the mind of a narcissist.
i think that gives him too much credit. he’s just fucking dumb and bad at everything. he failed upwards so long because he wasn’t too visible in the public eye. now he’s terminally online and constantly embarrassing himself and his companies.
It’s so much so that every news article that quotes it still says “X, formerly Twitter”.
That’s because X means absolutely nothing. It’s a letter commonly used to fill in blanks. It’s an awful name for any company/brand.
Remember that “brand X” is the lesser brand that advertising uses when they can’t directly name their competitors. Brand X is inherently the cheap crap no name brand.
I’ve seen and prefer “Twitter, now X”.
Yes, I mean how many companies get their brand turned into a verb?
…and breaks it on privacy-preserving browsers
win-win I guess
Elmo thinks the “X” makes it “extra cool.”
This dude is high.
I’m personally a fan of his new site for twitter media: xvideos.
You guys are joking but Elon is going to ruin porn sites next. Let’s see who has the last laugh then.
The only way he could ruin porn sites was if the site’s content were replaced with only videos of Elon gyrating his hips to Eye of the Tiger, while wearing one of those Borat bathing suits, never breaking eye contact with the camera.
Much simpler: His picture from the thumbnail of this post is always going to be next to the pornhub logo and his eyes are going to follow your mouse cursor.
We’ll definitely start calling it X now, definitely.
We should!
Stop humouring the assholes that are still on that bigoted network.
Every time someone calls it twitter, don’t give them the satisfaction of disassociating themselves from Musky’s X.
Oh so you’re an X’er. You like to Xeet a lot eh?
I heard that he also moved the CDN for user-uploaded videos to xvideos.com
Not all of them. The cute ones are on xhamster.com
His newest social media venture is focused on a niche of extreme exploration, named the Xtreme Network for Xtraordinary Xploration. You can find it at xnxx.com.
