Elon Musk says Twitter will soon be renamed "X", an idea so bad even now few think he's serious

So, looks like he’s done it already? This is the twitter front page on my phone

Elon Musk’s new logo for Twitter’s re-branding as “X App” is simply the capital X glyph from the font “Special Alphabets 4” from Monotype’s Special Alphabets font family.

Another great example of how unoriginal he is.

Looks and sounds like a nightclub I would avoid. “Oh no [insert band name] is playing X. Ugh. Wait, how much are tickets?!? I hate their doormen. And they always stop the shows really early and kick everyone out to turn it into Eurotrash dance night. Are they playing anywhere else?”

Replacing a word with X is how Koreans self-censor themselves (just deleting one syllable). It would replace an expletive, a body part, excrement, or another topic that is situationally or fashionably taboo

The following phrases will not translate well.

I X’ed about it.
My X-friend
That X
I’m an X viewer (what “followers” will now be called)
Didn’t I show you my X?

This far into the thread and surprised no one brought up a comparison to Duck Dodgers as a possible X inspiration for the young Musk:

This tracks; Twitter/X hasn’t been profitable since Elno bought it and started ‘improving’ it. He’s now in a position to get into a trademark war with X.org.

Okay, I get it. Youse characters like the boxes better.

Just paste the address and wait for the onebox to appear in the preview. Don’t add any formatting.
