Great, except Meta (Facebook) already trademarked X as pertains to social media.

This is such a half-ass job at rebranding. They only changed the logos on their front page. All the wording, logos and icons are still the previous ones on their About the Company page, Brand Toolkit, Help Center, Developer Platform, Business and Advertising etc etc.

The domain x.com, which Musk bought ages ago, also redirects to twitter

LiamMayfair ,

The x.com domain was originally purchased by PayPal for over $8m back when Elon was still at the company. No one knows how much PayPal asked Elon for it back in 2017 when he bought it from them, but it was rumoured to be an eight digit figure.

Let’s put an X on this website… Poor Twitter.

Muskrat also also stole the logo from X.org.

LoafyLemon ,

I wonder what Xorg Foundation thinks of him using their logo.

The title of the post is incorrect. It should be: “Elon Musk rebrands Twitter as the X11 Window System”.

Seathru ,

My brain autocorrects x.com to x-com every time. And I just couldn’t get into that game.

Damn you’re missing out, one of the best games

Seathru ,

I know. I really want to like turn based tactical games but the RNGs end up making me rage quit before I can get into them.

With that I expect reddit to rebrand itself to "W" not too late after.

Everyone who called Firefish stupid needs to come see this and reconsider.

I thought it was some dumb clickbait, but it's just dumb Elon

Yeah, I'm having trouble seeing this as real news.

In a world . . . in which one man spends 45 Billion dollars to destroy a global communications juggernaut in the most assinine, ridiculous ways ever . . . It's . . . The Rebrandening!

I mean, if he bought Coca-Cola and replaced sugar with vinegar, it'd be news, right?

Usernameblankface ,
@Usernameblankface@kbin.social avatar

It would be news, and even harder to believe as real news.

amio ,

Ah yes, the edgiest of letters. That fits pretty well, actually.

LimitedWard ,

Appropriate name for a social media platform that the internet has broken up with.

Hyperreality ,

If they're no longer using the twitter brand, maybe someone else can use it.
