This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Years of brand recognition down the drain. Twitter was such a big part of our culture that you literarily have movies, tv shows, music promoting it indirectly.
Less than 1% of Twitter users signed up for blue. Elon, nobody in its right mind wants your WeChat clone.
If we lived in meritocracy, Elon would be living in his moms basement instead of being a billionaire.
okay but why in the world would he rename it, what could he possibly gain from doing it? Twitter was going to die either ways but it seems Elon is getting impatient and wants to see it dead sooner
Guys the Android app is still called Twitter.
What...

What will happen next?! The Logo is really similar to x.org or their X Window System.
It really isn't. It's an X. There's not much to it.
It's a shit name, it's a shit logo, it's a shit platform. But it's far from a copyright infringement. Especially because no-one will confuse the cesspool named Twitter X with a window manager for unix systems
Twitter X doesn't have enough Xs in it. I vote to rename Twitter X to T Wixxer, at least here in Germany.
Looks like the logo for a hair salon or fashion magazine or something lol
Haven't updated their favicon yet lmao nice work.
They’ve updated literally nothing except the icon as far as i can see.

It’s one of the hollow letters used in math.
Basically what I’m saying is math should sue him.
now i get where the name spacex comes from. it's the space version of musk's x company...
The weird thing is that x.com sometimes loads into Twitter and sometimes doesn't, which shows that there's really no management in all of this.
This is wild, a significant percentage of Twitter's value was its brand, and this guy has just slapped an X on it and changed the colour scheme to dark mode. Do people actually still use Twitter?
The brand name and the logo were literally the only thing Musk had left from his purchase.
Makes sense that he's out to destroy those as well.
Even the new name implementation feels half-assed. It still says Twitter everywhere you go on the website in words. Like why not wait until you’re fully ready to make the change?
How am I supposed to make a filter to block "X"? I know Lemmy doesn't support it yet but on Boost I could add filters to block certain posts with words/names.
I'm hoping that Boost for Lemmy will have this feature but my first question still stands. Blocking Twitter was easy because it was specific. How am I supposed to block a letter? I
This seems like it's a ploy just to get attention and traffic. Seems that it's working as I'm seeing it in all the news sites.
Why replace twitter though? Do you what facebook did with threads. Launch a new app and allow existing twitter users to automatically onboard.
People hate having major changes hoisted on them. See reddit.
I like how the suggestion in the comments is 10x better and more effective than what the multi billion dollar company went for
When it comes to billionaires, never attribute to stupidity which can be adequately explained by malice.
I'm finding it hard to believe these billionaires are legitimately just making that poor of decisions that happen to be causing significant destruction to major social media platforms.
But then again, elon's kid's name is a great counter example. How the fuck am I not a gazillionaire? Oh right, no family emerald mine.
Twitter now equals broken image icon.
Whoever is still there is going to call a tweet a tweet and X, Twitter.
TWITTER IS NOW
X.ORG
THE YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP LADS
ITS HAPPENING
Just wait for Musky to try and start suing people for using anything with "X" in the title/name.
