When I was 8 I loved the letter X and used it in a bunch of my cringe gamertags like "Player X". this man is a literal child thinking this sounds cool.
Y'know, if he hadn't fired all of his staff for this kind of thing then someone could've told them this is going to get meme'd to "ex" in about 0.06482 seconds. Oh well, time to grab the popcorn!
I give you this little tidbit from wikipedia I read yesterday:
According to Musk and Grimes, his name was "X Æ A-12" (/ɛks æʃ eɪ ˈtwɛlv/); however, the name would have violated California regulations as it contained characters that are not in the modern English alphabet,[476][477] and was then changed to "X Æ A-Xii". This drew more confusion, as Æ is not a letter in the modern English alphabet.[478] The child was eventually named X AE A-XII Musk, with "X" as a first name, "AE A-XII" as a middle name, and "Musk" as surname.
Someone should rent the Tweety Bird brand from Time Warner and make a Twitter clone social media platform identical to o.d Twitter (only the logo is Tweety on a blue Looney Tunes circles background), that way, when one posts there, it's called a tweet or tweeting
If someone did this, I bet everyone would totally migrate.

We all had to take tags like xXBigChungus69Xx because Elon took the original xXXXx 😤

SpaceX. He's completed his little circle.
raltoid@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 3y
He had x.com before that.
He's going full circle by now having it redirect to twitter, and will probably be the main page soon.

Elon is doing this so he can pretend that if someone says “i saw your ex today” he can pretend they were talking about his tweet, change my view

(Un)fortunately, that only works in English, as far as I know.

If he fires a high ranking employee now, they can put "ex X exec" on their resume.
littlecolt@lemm.ee · 6 pts · 3y
Remember that time Elon's ex left him for a trans woman? I wonder why he's so obsessed with x.
Sanctus@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y
No, you see. That is exactly what happened list time and he can't have that happening again.
Zardoz@lemmy.world · 31 pts · 3y
So instead of "I read this tweet on Twitter" it's now "I read this X on X"? That is fucking dumb.
Maybe he'll be dumb enough to sell the Twitter domain to pay bills and some rich hero buys it and puts Mastodon there instead
