"X" might make sense as a parent company that includes everything and all apps or all of its companies. If he wanted to create an "everything app", he could still do that and include Twitter as a subset of that app, for example.
But rebranding Twitter as X is just so incredibly stupid. Maybe I'm missing something.
Twitter and its logo/icon the bird just made sense. Just like "googling", "tweeting" has become a standard term.
Now what? X what?
Also, the X and the stark b/w contrast may not appeal to the younger audience who may prefer the hipper instagram/threads look. Probably the same for advertisers.
- Buying Twitter was a dumb move.
Removing its brand identity and its social cachet is just next level dumb.
What next? 16 character posts to save on data?BuddhaHat - Now what? X what?

Elon Musk memo suggests Twitter worth less than half of what he paid for it
Calculation based on leaked offer to staff that implies firm valued at $20bn compared with $44bn he bought it forTwitter is worth less than half of what Elon Musk paid for it six months ago having lost more than $20bn (£16.4bn) in value, according to calculations based on a leaked memo from the billionaire.
Musk suggested in memo to the social media company’s staff that it is now valued at less than $20bn. This compares with the $44bn he paid for it in October 2022.
The company’s steep devaluation follows Musk’s turbulent takeover. Several large advertisers have left the platform and a major source of funds for Musk’s purchase of the company, the investment firm Fidelity, has written down the value of its stake by 56%.
- more like 10bn.. i thinkneverscared
- when he bought.. now probably 5bnneverscared
- Then why does Twitter seem the "of the same value" to me.
What am I doing wrong?palimpsest - Elon has unblocked himself from my Twitter twice since he took over, what a sad needy South African keeyunt.PhanLo

In retrospect you could say 2022 is the year of billionaires fucking up. Elon tries to buy and then immediately proceeds to destroy Twitter, Putin gets defeated by a bunch of Ukrainians, Trump is defeated by some document filing errors, Zuckerberg disappears into the Metaverse. We need to maybe adjust our our concept of billionaire from visionary genius saving the world (what ElonMusk was sold as) to narcissistic idiot whose random life decisions fuck up the world.
- Agreed. Twitter destroyed.monospaced
- Not actually destroyed yet :)
But there's no indication Elon Musk knows what he's doingyuekit - https://www.qbn.com/…

- I wasn't being literal monospaced...I'm sure Twitter will survive in some form even in worst case scenario. MySpace still exists and has hundreds of employees,yuekit
