The Thanos-snap imagery is kind of creepy.

The old icon is still on the tab, too.

Great logo, very original…

xorg

I guess there’s only so many ways to make an X but geez…

(x.org is an open-source xwindows implementation, been around a long time)

I hope they change “tweet” to “skeet” or something ridiculous.

People should take it upon themselves to start using the terms “Xcrements” and “Xcreting”. Would do great things for the brand.

lol, I mean everyone is gonna keep calling it “Twitter” and “tweets” regardless of what Elon’s dumb ass tries to change, right? Stop trying to make fetch happen!

This rollout just feels so poorly thought out, so slapdash in its implementation.

How am I supposed to pronounce “xeet”? Is it “zeet”? Because that means Twitter is now going to be called Zitter and that is preposterously stupid.

A normal company would execute this better if it was a one-day April fool’s day prank.

Awww Xeeet xeeet motherfuckers!

Awww Xeeet xeeet got damn!

Elon is very obviously trying to destroy Twitter. It’s the only possible explanation. The real question is why?

Brewsters Millions scenario?

Some sort of investment scam where it actually secretly benefits him to make everything burn?

A revenge/spite scenario?

He’s just a dumb trust fund kid reply guy on drugs, that’s it.

You’re not wrong, but this is pretty much a master class on how to systematically destroy a company. It feels far more likely there’s something more happening here than just simple ineptitude.

Business failson never looks like this where they are step by step making every perfect worst decision. After all the other bullshit done, the only advantage Twitter had left was brand and network effect, and now he’s doing everything he can to destroy that too? Right as competitors are ramping up. It’s too on the nose.

I’m absolutely not wrong. He got away with “going private at 420, funding secured,” so he thought securities laws didn’t apply. He got fucked up on drugs with his idiotic band of sycophants and did some more stupid tweeting, tried to get out of buying twitter but couldn’t, and is now destroying the company not as part of some grand plan but rather as the predictable consequence of his narcissistic idiocy.

Just a point, my post was originally supposed to start out “you’re not wrong”. I’ve edited it to read slightly clearer.

I agree with you, and simultaneously think it’s too insane for someone to fuck up this perfectly.

Idon’t understand how Twitter/xitter hasn’t imploded yet. It must have the strongest network effects in the history of any company ever.
