Lmao I hope in a couple of years someone just takes the twitter branding and rebuilds it.

Not that I am a fan of twitter, may that plattform burn in hell, but just to shove it into Musks face.

That'll solve all the problems.

Ah yes, an X for the company known for their ✓. I'm sure that won't be confusing at any point.

With what staff? Rebranding is fucking expensive.

Elon thinks all you need to do is change the site CSS and maybe do a press release, and he's famous enough that the rest will just take care of itself.

So.... is this just like a really dumb cost-cutting measure to stop paying fees for the twitter domain/brand name or something, since he already owns the name "X"?

There is 0% chance this man is neither on drugs nor having a severe mental breakdown.

What if he's always been like this but just had the money to hide it?

[–] jarfil@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

He seems to have had some lucky moves, and the whole "Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink, Boring" still look like a decent combo.

Everything else, looks like what someone with DGAF money would do to pass the time. At least he's not going on a safari collecting trophies, or something.

Logo that was in the GIF Musk posted looks an awful lot like X11 logo.
