    Y’know, if he hadn’t fired all of his staff for this kind of thing then someone could’ve told them this is going to get meme’d to “ex” in about 0.06482 seconds. Oh well, time to grab the popcorn!

      If he fires a high ranking employee now, they can put “ex X exec” on their resume.

      Remember that time Elon’s ex left him for a trans woman? I wonder why he’s so obsessed with x.

      No, you see. That is exactly what happened list time and he can’t have that happening again.

    So instead of “I read this tweet on Twitter” it’s now “I read this X on X”? That is fucking dumb.

    Maybe he’ll be dumb enough to sell the Twitter domain to pay bills and some rich hero buys it and puts Mastodon there instead

      I 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.

  • Someone 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.
