Elon is seriously speed running proving to hoggest of the hogs that rich people are not special or more intelligent. I absolutely refuse to believe even the reply guys with Musk’s limp dick perpetually stuffed in their various orifices can think changing a “successful” (at least well known) 20 year old company’s branding and name. Anyone even pretending to support this is absolutely coping. My brain cannot fathom the stupidity required to believe otherwise.
Yup, looks like it. New logo, new name (in the works), new url. I think he's been telling people to use x.com, though it just redirects to twitter.com for now. My app doesn't look any different yet, but the desktop site seems to have all the logos switched.

Does this mean I won't be able to use the letter 'x' anymore because a multi-billion dollar company has trademarked it:

You’ll have to replace them all with q’s:

Apparently the X used by Twi-- er, X Corp, is from a font that X may not actually have the actual license to use.

Elon doesn't pay his hosting bills or rent, you think he's gonna care about something as inane as a license fee?
Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi · 5 pts · 3y
Of course not, but it's worth pointing out :p
Mongostein@lemmy.ca · 16 pts · 3y
Of course not. Licenses are for the poors. The creator of the font will benefit from the exposure of being the logo.

What's the top image, is it some Microsoft x-windowing system?

It's Space Karen's new name, and logo, for Twitter.
Amazed@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
Unbelievable… I bet he’s trying to make a conglomeration like Jeff Bezos and Amazon. Space Karen is a good way to put it.

meanmon13@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
Nope, totally out of the loop on this one... Is he renaming Twitter?

The fact that this gets almost 500 upvotes makes me doubt the Reddit exodus, as this would mean most of us around here are Unix/Linux users.
