So there it is. Twitter is dead. It’s now “X”.

[MrA]

He got to be sinking twitter intentionally

 

[Kilau]

He would be a super villain if he could stop trolling for 5 seconds.

 

[jufonuk]

The real reason

 

[Rentahamster]

X gon' give it to ya

 

[Days like these...]

So there it is. Twitter is dead. It’s now “X”.

I'm sure this is the final nail in the coffin. Elon's Twitter mismanagement is probably already in community college text books all over the country

I knew someone who I used to work with that went to twitter had to deal with the crap when people couldn’t get I to the building etc. This was in the UK where I thought we had laws against that.

I feel sorry for the people who were just working to earn a living then get shafted by that idiot

 

[Kilau]

This is replacing the Bird logo.

I’m not sure Musk got the right message from the story of Icarus.

BTW EviLore what do you think about changing my handle to KIDD THICCARUS? I loved that game

This has been my theory all along and I'm all for it

 

[EviLore]

I just checked, and x.com 301 redirects to twitter.com

It's happening.

“HBO is now MAX!”

Everyone: that’s the dumbest shit anyone has ever done

Musk: hold my castle lager

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Is Twitter dying again?

 

[DKehoe]

I get that he has wanted to do something with the x.com domain for a long time now. But, as I've seen others point out, Twitter's branding is successful enough that "tweet" "tweeting" and "retweet" are all things that people can say in normal conversation without sounding like corporate weirdos. Most companies would love that kind of brand identity. So it seems strange for him to throw that away. But it's his site so he can do what he likes with it. I know in the past he's talked about having X be a "super app" so I guess this is part of that process. So maybe it's the next step to bigger and better things but it seems odd to me.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Supposedly a while back he wanted to make an all-in-one app and call it X.

People are saying that this is what he's going to be doing with Twitter now.

 

[0neAnd0nly]

I don't care, I don't twit.

But, for the last year twitter was supposed to die 1,069,690 times according to the internet as a whole.

So, I am curious... when will it actually happen?

 

[Meicyn]

lmao

Yeah buttttt

Has that actually mattered?

MAX seems to be doing... fine?

 

[StreetsofBeige]

LOL. Awesome.

So instead of getting redirect to a Sign Up screen on Twitter, I'll get directed to an X.com site?

I would actually make an account if this was the case

 

[Deleted member 1159]

No idea. But I don’t know a single person who uses the actual name, everyone still calls it HBO

The powers that be see how powerful Twitter is with reporting of news that actually is accurate that other organizations don't discuss.

 

[Spyxos]

Maybe he just wants to get it over with?

That Elon see this when looking in the mirror:

 

[Wildebeest]

This guy is living life like he is starring in the movie speed, except he has been told he will explode if he doesn't make global news headlines at least once a week.

[Bridges]

I don't care what happens to Twitter either way, but from the outside looking in this seems like a terrible idea. Twitter is an extremely recognizable brand and logo.

Unless this is a play at people like me who thinks "cesspool" when hearing Twitter, but it's not like a different name would bring me (or probably anyone else) back.

 

[Slicker than your average]

I didn't know it was possible to rebrand shit .

I legit think inside their minds they're cringing they have to do that.

 

[Kurotri]

What happened to the threads thing? It was like the talk of town for an entire 5 seconds. What gives?

 

[Red5]

Has Twitter become profitable since he took the helm?

Let's be honest, the only reason he bought it was for pure trolling, narcissism and vanity.

 

[bender]

23 years later and Musk can't let go of the idea of x.com.

No wonder.

Missed opportunity by 2K Games to buy the X.com domain

 

[LordCBH]

Can’t wait to watch videos on X. Some xvideos, if you will.

 

[LakeOf9]

Musk is a fucking moron

I don’t even mean this in the online “I disagree with his decisions” way. I mean he’s just a really stupid person.
