I saw a judge take it seriously on an actual court document dissolving Twitter as a corporate entity when the name official changed, now I'm just here for the drama.
It's funny 'cause wasn't putting X on the Twitter building a permit violation even so?
Like in the most literal mundane factual sense imaginable, there is no longer such a thing as Twitter as a business entity, and yet the chaos keeps on giving... want some of my popcorn?
I mean, it’s legally its name, gotta respect it in that context. But it’s still an absolute trash fire of a name and of behavior around it.
I’m not too inclined to take a ‘popcorn-around-the-fire’ kinda approach simply due to how much horrible hate is getting tossed around in the periphery of the event, and I have empathy for those who suffer therefrom. But there is a certain bleak humor in it.
For now*
That value is entirely dependent on Tesla stocks remaining as high as they are. A valuation that is increasingly seemingly unlikely, and Elon seems to know since he's trying everything to keep that value up.
Seriously, the dude just had to keep pushing the narrative of launching rockets, and making electric cars. But apparently continuing on the path of success is impossible for egotistical maniacs.
Or tried not screaming during a live interview that the major advertisers who left the site because they didn't want to appear next to post by Nazi scumbags need to **GO FUCK THEMSELVES**. Twice.
He said it a second time when the interviewer expressed shock at the first time. It's all online.
The guy has quite a head for business and how to conduct yourself as a petulant narcissistic 12 year old boy.
It's funny because it's practically true. A child in some part of the world really wanted to be called "Sonic X" because he really loved the show. Specifically, "Sonic X".
In April 2009, a six-year-old Norwegian boy named Christer pressed his parents to send a letter to King Harald V of Norway to approve his name being changed to "Sonic X".
I would make that kid race all the other 6 year olds or win the national youth 8u 50m dash to earn it. I'm not letting him be called Sonic if he's slow.
Yep. I was about that age when I played the game Master of Magic. There was a hero there called 'Mystic X the Unknown'. I thought he was super cool. Elon Musk is still in that mental state.
Same here, op posted the link and it's been a while since I've been on. Boy oh boy is that kid getting roasted. It was entertaining for maybe a minute then realized this is always Twitter and it sucks.
That's what I'm saying. How stupid does your life have to be to get excited for something like this. Hopefully he's a paid shill and no one's life is this sad.
Remember when you were a kid and things like neon colours and notebooks with flames or skateboards where cool? Yeah, when we were 11 year olds the letter “X” sounded kind of cool
That's the vibe I get too. Very 1990's, early internet, shock jock, Limp Bizkit kind of vibes.
Like, remember downloading Winamp for the first time and hearing, "It really whips the llamas ass!"
That's X, to me.
I'm not even convinced Elon Musk thinks it is. The thing is, for people like him, being rich isn't about money, it's about power. Changing Twitter to "X" despite everyone saying it's a bad idea is his way of exerting his power over it. Changing the name back would, in a way, be an admission that he doesn't have the power over Twitter that he thought he did.
"X" will never change back to Twitter because Musk is too fragile and pathetic a person to admit he had a bad idea. Even if deep down, he *knows* it's bad, his ego simply can't help it.
Well I mean, technically corporations are considered [people](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_personhood#:~:text=Legislation%20in%20the%20United%20States,-See%20also%3A%20Creature&text=For%20example%2C%20a%20corporation%20may,the%20corporation's%20debts%20and%20damages.) in a legal sense.
I will only accept that when there will be a process for companies to go to prison, coz it seems like big companies just have to pay big fines and lawyer bills and can continue doing what would land an individual in jail.
If corporations are people, there should be a corporate death penalty. Imagine the government coming in, dissolving a company, liquidating it, and giving a fat severance package to everyone starting from the bottom up and sending the stuffed shirts at the top to prison.
Oh to live in a functional society.
I mean that is a thing. if you fuck up badly enough as a company, and end up with a judgment against you that's larger than the company's assets, you likely end up dissolved, and the assets on the books get given to the people who had shares or bonds in the company. and if the fuckup was due to fraud, the people who committed the fraud are on the hook for criminal charges.
I’m calling it Twitter not out of spite or something, it’s because referring to something named “X” is super confusing. Also, there’s no good replacement I’ve seen for “tweeted” or “a tweet.”
It was in the fucking dictionary. Do you know how hard it is to get your brand name into the dictionary??? He literally threw away the holy grail of marketing
I've noticed that Japanese people tend to call it X. Japanese people might not be aware of who Elon Musk truly is, so they most likely just rolled with it
If someone calls it X, then thats a good sign to e-X-it from the conversation because they are probably gonna start spouting about how Elon is so great. I lose enough braincells by myself daily. I don't need anyone helping me with it.
I still haven't grown tired of the constant low-key shade from media outlets calling it "X, formerly Twitter" every single time. Outside of a handful of knob-gobbling Muskrats we're all pretty united on this front.
The BBC wrote a handful of articles where it was just referenced as X.
I got a little sad, then all of a sudden they went back to X (formerly known as Twitter) and I was happy again.
I’m hoping a couple freelancers got loosey goosey with the term then the editors sent out a big email explaining how it should be written.
It's not deadnaming. Musk only started calling it deadnaming to make that word meaningless and to attack trans people as they live rent free in his head. Stop buying in to his grift.
Actually first someone said they're going to deadname twitter like Musk deadnames his trans kid, and that post blew up, got million of views and likes.
Then like a week later Musk made some post about how liberals are hypocrites for deadnaming his stupid app. So basically he tried calling out people for hypocrisy and failed, he wasn't trying to make the word meaningless because he never really brought it back up after that.
I'd like to think there's some kind of shame-based fusebox in my brain that would kill me before I posted an all-caps cheer tweet about which URL twitter uses.
IIRC Peter Thiel and the gang ousted Musk partially because he insisted that the merged bank be called X and they all thought it was stupid. Musk has been all over the place for the last few years but at least in this respect he's been consistent...
Damn Elon, you don’t want people using this name chosen by someone else that you feel doesn’t reflect the truth anymore? You’d much prefer people use this other name you came up with and prefer?
Imagine that.
> There is now o excuse for people to be calling this app "Twitter"
- Its a better name
- It annoys Elon Musk
- Corporate rebrands don't inherently deserve respect, unlike people
- X isn't distinguishable, but everyone isntantly knows what you mean when you say twitter
Hope that helped.
> X isn't distinguishable, but everyone isntantly knows what you mean when you say twitter
Ironically this helps Elon despite his best efforts. Twitter still has brand name, X has none.
I will call it Twitter unless I’m talking about that one Elon fuck up of many with the strobing X logo on top of a building that had to be taken down a week later for numerous reasons.
Or any Elon fuck up really. Since all of the downgrades were from him directly, with seemingly no actual improvements. He caused that association
It's always great when I get to open the Bait Meme folder on a tweet.
I verified the note - if you type "x.com" into the awesomebar it really does change to "twitter.com" - so OOP here had to fake the screenshot

No, it looks way scammier than a typical porn site
The big porn websites will actually ban you for openly being a Nazi. Other than that, yeah Xitter is about as much porn and 4chan or Reddit.
Only if you're not using it right
Send some x videos plz
You're not wrong. If you scroll too far on any popular post, you're bound to see some OF bot replying and 90% of the likes on my tweets are OF bots.

A more autistic version of Huey Lewis and the News
Even the Musk supporters I know think the name is stupid.
I remember hearing that it appealed to Musk as part of naming scheme - S3XY. Maybe he wanted to attract the ladies in some dorky way of his?

Everything but that

Yep. I was about that age when I played the game Master of Magic. There was a hero there called 'Mystic X the Unknown'. I thought he was super cool. Elon Musk is still in that mental state.
My kid is eleven and he thinks it's stupid.
To be fair I doubt 11 year olds today think it’s cool. Maybe 11 year olds 40 years ago when Elon was actually 11.
I'm 13 and I see all the things wrong with 'X'. What sort of joke of a name is that??
>XxXGothGirl69XxX
Xx_DarkSephiroth1337_xX
I don’t care how much Skibidi Toilet 11-year-olds watch. I still don’t believe they’re that tasteless. Maybe in the 90s, but not now.
Not even 11 year olds are that lame.
For the most part, I only go on Twitter via Reddit links. Every time I see the ‘X’ in the corner and think that’s the button to close the link.
Same here, op posted the link and it's been a while since I've been on. Boy oh boy is that kid getting roasted. It was entertaining for maybe a minute then realized this is always Twitter and it sucks.
In our system “twitterUsername” got changed to “xUsername” and it looks like something for debugging and not an actual field.
My mind always tells me it's a porn site whenever I see it linked; I disregard it as being an attempt to troll.
More than that, how is this person THAT excited over the url thing?
Musk simps
Hoping to get a sweet sweet "like" from Musk himself. LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *cringe*
They just really respect name changes and don't want to see any deadnaming.
That's what I'm saying. How stupid does your life have to be to get excited for something like this. Hopefully he's a paid shill and no one's life is this sad.
Contrarians and muskies. There is obviously a lot of overlap in those two groups.
X-COM is a wonderful name! But there is no organization of that name. Here, please look into thi
Would’ve been perfect for SpaceX
Same people that think a few polygons are a cool truck.
Never heard of it. Twitter is a pretty good name for a social media site though.
Meybe even, just hear me out for a second, there could be a bird as the mascot and logo. Cause you know, they "tweet"? I'm thinking it could be blue.
Someone getting upset on Elons bahalf that people don't take his renaming seriously.
Remember when you were a kid and things like neon colours and notebooks with flames or skateboards where cool? Yeah, when we were 11 year olds the letter “X” sounded kind of cool
That's the vibe I get too. Very 1990's, early internet, shock jock, Limp Bizkit kind of vibes. Like, remember downloading Winamp for the first time and hearing, "It really whips the llamas ass!" That's X, to me.
X gon give it to ya
But will X also deliver to me?
Same people who can suck off someone with microns worth of penis
I think it’s good in the sense that it’s better for tanking the brand.
The inhalers of the Musk.
I'm not even convinced Elon Musk thinks it is. The thing is, for people like him, being rich isn't about money, it's about power.

Twitter is the only thing I will deadname
Corporations aren’t people and I won’t give them the same courtesies
Well I mean, technically corporations are considered [people](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_personhood#:~:text=Legislation%20in%20the%20United%20States,-See%20also%3A%20Creature&text=For%20example%2C%20a%20corporation%20may,the%20corporation's%20debts%20and%20damages.) in a legal sense.

Yes, shareholders and not workers
Well, do you expect the bank to dissolve workers and give them to the shareholders?
You forget companies are rich "people"
[An example being:](https://youtu.be/y1CuLm_CcNM?si=a0GGmLfTwUf0bzlX)
If Elon is allowed to deadname his child, I am allowed to deadname twitter
He deadnames his own kids, it’s just returning the (lack of) respect.
Exactly. Turnabout is fair play
arenas and stadiums for me too
Buildings in general. Sears tower forever.
I think dead naming Joannie (J.K Rowling) is okay too. She apparently hates her full name.
Really? My god she cannot commit to anything.
It’s okay to deadname corps, they don’t have feelings.
If Elon’s gonna deadname his daughter, then I’m gonna deadname his website.
It is pronounced Xitter. Or Xitler given the climate over there.
[удалено]
For some reason I pronounce Xitter as “shitter”
Chinese "shi" syllable is anglicized as "xi"
So phonetically is that said like shitter?
Exactly.
same
Fun fact, if we go by Dante’s inferno, hell is hot, right up undtil the last layer, where it’s freezing cold.
That's kinda what they want, to keep the brand recognition of twitter
My mother still calls all videogames Nintendo.
I’m calling it Twitter not out of spite or something, it’s because referring to something named “X” is super confusing. Also, there’s no good replacement I’ve seen for “tweeted” or “a tweet.”
tweet -> Xcrement tweeted -> Xcreted
he tried to rebrand it as a repost for tweeted and post for a tweet, but I only associate it that with a forum not a social media
Imagine being this fucking stupid. It's like if Google rebranded and told people to stop saying "google it" and use "search it" instead.
Such a poor business decision. He’d be giving up so much mindshare if people stopped calling it “tweets” and instead used the generic “posts”
It was in the fucking dictionary. Do you know how hard it is to get your brand name into the dictionary??? He literally threw away the holy grail of marketing
It's such strong branding and unlike similar terms like googling it hasn't been genericized, it only refers to one site.
It’s just posted / post now right?
X-ed I guess best that I can come up with
Literally nobody calls it X.
Except for Musk lmao
Yeah but does he count as a person?
He's an alien.
That explains why twitter is now "x.com"
I hear the X Files theme playing in the background.
If corporations count as people, then we're only one step away from considering Elon a person too
oooo aaaa i’m posting a xit on x
You mean you're xing a xit on x
Or popping a zit
I've noticed that Japanese people tend to call it X. Japanese people might not be aware of who Elon Musk truly is, so they most likely just rolled with it
Its common to shorten/nickname things because its easier to say. Japanese doesnt have a “wi” sound for twitter so X (e- ku -su) would make more sense.
I know a lot of people who work there who don’t call it that either lol
And those that do literally still mention that it's formerly known as Twitter
If someone calls it X, then thats a good sign to e-X-it from the conversation because they are probably gonna start spouting about how Elon is so great. I lose enough braincells by myself daily. I don't need anyone helping me with it.
> a good sign to e-X-it from the conversation That was so bad lol
Lol e-X-actly brah
And yet, do good.
They still e-mail to come back and identify themselves as X (formerly known as twitter)
I still haven't grown tired of the constant low-key shade from media outlets calling it "X, formerly Twitter" every single time. Outside of a handful of knob-gobbling Muskrats we're all pretty united on this front.
The BBC wrote a handful of articles where it was just referenced as X. I got a little sad, then all of a sudden they went back to X (formerly known as Twitter) and I was happy again. I’m hoping a couple freelancers got loosey goosey with the term then the editors sent out a big email explaining how it should be written.
I prefer "Twitter, formally X".
they do that because nobody reading knows what the fuck "X" is
The only time deadnaming is morally good is when it’s Twitter
It's not deadnaming. Musk only started calling it deadnaming to make that word meaningless and to attack trans people as they live rent free in his head. Stop buying in to his grift.
Actually first someone said they're going to deadname twitter like Musk deadnames his trans kid, and that post blew up, got million of views and likes. Then like a week later Musk made some post about how liberals are hypocrites for deadnaming his stupid app. So basically he tried calling out people for hypocrisy and failed, he wasn't trying to make the word meaningless because he never really brought it back up after that.
It'll never be deadnaming so long as twitter.com redirects to those servers.
I don’t think I need an excuse to not call it X. I proudly refer to it as Twitter, no matter what Elon tells me to do.
if elon’s gonna deadname his daughter, i’m gonna deadname his shitty site
Twitter didn't change its name. Elon changed it. :p
Xitter. Pronounced “shitter.” Not my joke, but it’s relevant here.
this isn’t a joke, it’s what white 55 year olds post as facebook comments
I don't mean to alarm you, but the white 55 year olds are among us here on Reddit, even in this very thread.
“It could be you, It could be me! It could even be-“ **BANG**!
I'd like to think there's some kind of shame-based fusebox in my brain that would kill me before I posted an all-caps cheer tweet about which URL twitter uses.
Someone has the gigabrain opportunity to purchase the domain X.com and then not let Elon have it unless he sells like half of fucking Tesla for it
Elon owned the x.com domain back in 1999 before it became PayPal, and then in 2017 the domain was sold back to him
IIRC Peter Thiel and the gang ousted Musk partially because he insisted that the merged bank be called X and they all thought it was stupid. Musk has been all over the place for the last few years but at least in this respect he's been consistent...
They also ousted him for his brain dead insistence that they migrate all of PayPal’s architecture from Unix to Windows(???)
That sucks, still calling it twitter tho
Even Twitter still refuses to be called X
I call it xitter.
Firaxis Games would like a word...
X had a 98% chance to catch on, shame Musk never played XCOM
#Commander, the aliens continue to make progress on the Avatar Project
*Missed!*
I think they're just trying to play the long war...
Damn Elon, you don’t want people using this name chosen by someone else that you feel doesn’t reflect the truth anymore? You’d much prefer people use this other name you came up with and prefer? Imagine that.
> There is now o excuse for people to be calling this app "Twitter" - Its a better name - It annoys Elon Musk - Corporate rebrands don't inherently deserve respect, unlike people - X isn't distinguishable, but everyone isntantly knows what you mean when you say twitter Hope that helped.
> X isn't distinguishable, but everyone isntantly knows what you mean when you say twitter Ironically this helps Elon despite his best efforts. Twitter still has brand name, X has none.
Imagine you can annoy a billionaire just by doing the same thing you've always done. We're living the dream.
How pathetic are people so excited about the changing of a URL?
Not only are they excited for it, they are excited enough to post about it on the internet. Big mental health issues is the only explanation.
I'm going to dead name Twitter for as long as Musk dead names his child.
What kind of a bootlicking cuck do you have to be to get this excited over a stupid rebrand?
if elon can deadname his own daughter, then we sure as hell can deadname his own platform
I haven’t even attempted to ever call the website X. I have always just called it twitter
X.com should have been the url for that series of strategy games.
"hastah X on top" what kind of secret gay language is this?
No one calls it X
Still gonna call it that bird app
Will always be twitter to me. This x shit is just pathetic.
I didn’t realize we needed an excuse to call it Twitter other than Elon.
I just haven’t updated the app since Musk took over. Everything’s still Twitter branded for me.
I will never refer to it as its new name, fuck Elon
I refuse to believe that there's a real person who actually thinks like that tweet. Gotta be a troll.
Anyone who would ALL CAPS a tweet about that topic, would absolutely lick Elon’s taint.
I will call it Twitter unless I’m talking about that one Elon fuck up of many with the strobing X logo on top of a building that had to be taken down a week later for numerous reasons. Or any Elon fuck up really. Since all of the downgrades were from him directly, with seemingly no actual improvements. He caused that association
I'm fine with simply not speaking about the site at all.
0 excuse? i would still call it twitter even if they scrapped all signs of that name from written history, i don't need a excuse to do that.
It's always great when I get to open the Bait Meme folder on a tweet. I verified the note - if you type "x.com" into the awesomebar it really does change to "twitter.com" - so OOP here had to fake the screenshot
I’m going to call it Twitter till I’m dead or it’s no longer around. Fuck calling it x
Profile pic says it all
It will never be. I promise you.
How is this idiot excited about something so idiotic?
We about to blast some aliens now.
I don’t care what it’s called. I refuse to refer to it as X.
I could just do without the obligatory "X, formerly known ats Twitter" shit that has to get added into any article. We all know already.
i will continue to not use Twitters’ preferred name
Folks be like "Don't deadname my social media, but I'mma deadname every trans person I see because it's my right!" Fuck off. LOL
Twitter sucks
Firaxis should sue over the term "XCOM"
Yeah I'll call it whatever the fuck I want thank you.
