Looks absolutely well-planned and not rushed at all, perfect alignment of the logo, proper copy. Definitely not just a hasty implementation of a fever dream.

Uh, Elon, did you just copy the X Window System logo?
No, they copied Elon. Law suit coming soon. /s
You might not need the s…
It's not even centered?
Somehow, this is the bit that offends me most
I'm guessing that skill with Cascading Style Sheets is considered wasted time and effort at X, much like media relations, accessibility, and microservices.
I enjoy reading about this change because everytime someone writes something like. Look what x did. My first thought isn't of Twitter or any social media, it's: "who's x?" (As in replacement variable)
So stupid to rebrand like that. Oh well, never used Twitter anyways
I thought this was a joke.
They did a great job replacing a highly marketable icon with character, with something that feels like cliche 80's dial-up geocities days that doesn't make sense at all, given the terminology of everything...
In other news, you need to log in to use twitter now? lol. Wow, genius
Kinda like the names of his kids.
👀
In my case this translates to "Twitter is now deleted".
I deleted Twitter years ago.
Apparently Elon has a thing for the letter X. SpaceX, naming his son "X Æ A-12", and now renaming Twitter.
Can he legally change his son's name to use the new x?
𝕏 Æ A-𝕏ii
Apparently according to Elon his wife came up with most of the name
Rename Twitter Blue to X Pass
Rename the Post Tweet textbox to the X Box
Uploaded videos are now X videos.
what
What's next, Elon? Try to trademark the letter x?
Space X will rebrand to S
Tesla To E
Just so he gets his S E X "joke" on the second try.
AI he wanted to become the CEO of SEX al along. . .
Why didn't he just buy CEX?
Rebrand to XXX
Elon can ask his ex-president mate to hook him up with some porn stars for twitter
Elon on his way to sue X-ray manufacturers.
Microsoft might have an issue with that.
He believes they're above regulation, if anyone tries to CTL X it just gets cut from the web.
Isn't that the jagex logo?
I think it looks different enough from the Jagex logo. Though I think the jury is still out on the X Windows System logo
KILL IT
KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!
RIP AND TEAR
Except that Meta (Facebook) has already trademarked X as pertains to social media.
This shit makes Elon look even more like a Bond villain than he already is.
That's giving him way too much credit. More like an Austin Powers villain, and even that is questionable.
Off brand Scooby-Doo villain.
I wonder who's under the mask...
*Under the Musk
AKA Twitter is now Fucked?
Was there a time it wasn't?
There was a time they let people send Tweets through SMS. It almost made sense back then.
Brilliant.
No it isn't.
No... No it's not... But you can imagine what'd be like if it was, right?
Der erste Schritt zu West-WeeChat.
haben die auch ein hässliches logo?
