#Twitter rebranding

Ain’t no way Twitter just changed its name to X-

I get that you own SpaceX, but you don’t gotta make everything about it..

The Twitter rebranding makes me so mad because Elon took a perfectly recognizable and simplistic logo/name that also cleverly ties in to the function of the app and went “but what if we make it like cool and mysterious????????” like a fucking middle school boy trying to get girls

what the fuck is x

Twitter Rebranding has begun. Elon Musk Mission to build the Everything App.

Twitter, the social media giant, has undergone a major rebranding. The company, which was acquired by Elon Musk for $44 billion in late 2022, has officially changed its name to X and replaced its iconic bird logo with an “X.” The change was announced by Musk on Twitter over the weekend. He wrote that the company would soon “bid adieu to the Twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds.” As of…

Was hesitant to post this here because... idk, I'm paranoid, but I decided that my paranoia is stupid and I should just post it anyway because why not. I'm trying to be more active on here, anyways.

Anyway I made this nearly a month ago because I saw some people saying Vox canonically owned an Alastor body pillow. No idea if that's true and I don't really care enough to look it up, but regardless I decided I needed to draw him and Val as this meme. It was too perfect. (So perfect in fact that I saw another piece of fanart with them as this meme earlier, which is what reminded me I made this).

For everyone that can’t access Twitter right now here’s a nice break down of musk’s reasons to rebrand as x

[disconnected-dragon]

im-- im just trying to process this "twitter rebranding to x" move like-- WHY is elon so obsessed with the letter x?

he named his cars x. he named his rockets "SpaceX". he maybe got booted out of paypal partially because he tried to name it x. he named his KID x.

and now he's trying to rebrand TWITTER, the brand so ingrained by now they got us to call tweets TWEETS, into x too????

what IS WITH this man and the letter x? why does it have him in such a chokehold???

Lmao??

Every decision Elon musk makes and every announcement he makes about twitter on twitter sounds like something Wheatley would do in charge or Aperture Science

Why an "all in one" platform wouldn't work

People don't go to youtube to see their grandma's latest thought, they go to facebook. people don't go to twitter to see unrealistic beauty standards, they go to instagram. people don't go to tik tok to sell their old couch, they go to facebook or ebay. variety of platforms is important. you can't have an "all in one" because then your main purpose will be abandoned so you can focus on other features and then people will inevitably move to a different platform where they actually focus on the features that they came for.

Edit: I realize this may be a bit confusing as to how this relates to the tags, basically elon/whoever the new ceo is, is trying to make the platform like a banking thing or whatever. basically they're trying to make it bigger and have more stuff (trying to make an "all in one" platform). hope this helps anyone who is confused :)

Hey, I'll fucking take it. Cheers to avoiding rampant public safety disasters and strobing-induced seizures!

"A brightly flashing “X” sign has been removed from the San Francisco headquarters of the company formerly known as Twitter just days after it was installed.

The San Francisco Department of Building Inspection said Monday it received 24 complaints about the unpermitted structure over the weekend. Complaints included concerns about its structural safety and illumination."

Okay but like, Roy and Jamie weren’t exactly subtle about loathing each other, were they? They fought each other on the pitch and badmouthed each other on TV, none of that keep it quiet for the sake of the team shit for these extra boys, yeah? My point is, anyone who knows anything about English football knows that Roy Kent and Jamie Tartt used to hate each other, right?

So obviously, at some point, during some press conference or post game interview, someone needs to bring this fact up. Maybe it’s as early as after the 2x06 match, because Ted might well have insisted Roy and Jamie be the ones to front that, both because it was them that won that game and because he figures it’ll promote ~their bond~ or some such. Could be later too, after the headbutt/hug thing, or later still, once the pictures of Jamie and Roy’s early morning excursions start doing the rounds on social media.

Doesn’t matter much when, really, only that someone – maybe from the tabloids because they’re a vicious lot – would ask: “Roy, just weeks before you joined the Richmond coaching staff you said, and I quote, ‘Jamie Tartt is a muppet and I hope he dies of the incurable condition of being a little bitch’. Today you described him as the most important player on the field. What has changed?”

And maybe the room goes a bit quiet at that, oooh he fucking went there, and what the hell is going to happen now, but Jamie only cocks his head to the side, making a face but looking at Roy all amused like. “You said that about me? That hurts me feelings, Coach.”

And Roy rolls his eyes, exasperated but in too good a mood after the win to be really annoyed. “Yeah, well, as it turns out the condition was only mostly incurable, wasn’t it?”

And Jamie goes aaaw and the press goes um okay and it doesn’t really explain anything, only adds to the ever-evolving legend of what the fuck is up with Roy Kent and Jamie Tartt.

Twitter’s rebrand is proof that Silicon Valley is in a minimalism death spiral and that not a single cryptobro has ever had a creatively appealing thought in their entire life.
