Such a genuinely shit name.
I’m not even one of the rabid Musk haters, but it’s just an absolutely dreadful name that a 10 year old thinks is cool…
I fully expect people to still be calling it twitter for a long time.
I call it "irrelevant."
I wish...
I may…
That's because it's an established brand with a huge value to it. Everyone knows twitter. Only an idiot would throw that away.
Musk has been on a roll of bad decisions since he first offered to buy Twitter lmao
He was making terrible decisions way before that.
Yes but Twitter is a 44 billion dollar mistake
You make a very good and very expensive point.
I call meta still facebook. fuck this rebranding bullshit to disssociate with shittyness
Meta/Facebook and Google/Alphabet are very different from Twitter/X. The first two created parent companies under which their large brand names still exist, but are now managed along with their other properties (Instagram, ~~Snapchat~~, Waymo, Deepmind, etc.) Musk, meanwhile, is trying to completely burn down the Twitter brand for some incomprehensible reason.
Snapchat isn't owned by meta btw
Yeah just like Meta will allways be Facebook for me
