I realized just how truely attention seeking that was here is the thing: if you own that domain, you're rich AF, and you think it's the coolest thing ever, why not do the reverse instead of breaking old links. You show up and tell them like: good news everyone, you can now visit twitter by merely typing x.com isn't that cool?! Or better yet, don't tell anybody and use it as your personal cool hidden entryway.

This is so goddamn beautiful. I wonder when it will all crash and burn?

It gets better

 Press X to pay respects

It gets better

Meta owns a blue and white X of a very different shape. (Common, trademarks laws aren't THAT bad to allow trademarking a freaking letter)

It's official, we have definitely slipped into the clown timeline.

AS for the new logo, this has to be the most soulless piece of corporatist art I have ever seen

[Frumple]

Eh... it's just a unicode character? Very, very literally, the "Mathematical Double-Struck Capital X". I'm not sure I'd call it corporatist art at all, they klepped the thing basically unaltered from a friggin' font set. It's lazy plagiarism more than anything.

If you excuse me...

Actually, I thought Xerox held the Trademark on all "X"s.  I could see them selling one to Facebook...they kinda need the money.

Feels like Microsoft would run into some trouble with that too, with their game console...

I vaguely remember the xbox brand losing to a company with X in the name, many years ago.

If that was X Holding, or one of it's related companies (subsidiaries?)
Then Microsoft might not have any way to fight this.

The X is just musk's branding, so I guess twitter is now his bitch forever.

He's committed, I guess?

Well that’s the thing: it’s not Twitter anymore.

Which begs the question why he spent $44b on the Twitter brand just to dump it shortly thereafter.

[eerr]

I've read articles that he's trying to make an all-in-one social media app.
including a payment app.

I'm going to pretend this means internet trolls will have to pay to be annoying.

I mean, is he committed enough to pony up 12 billion dollars to pay the debt?
Based on him not actually doing that already it feels like the answer is a solid no.

I guess he could just pay the losses the company truly can't afford out of his personal money, but again that feels like a no given the stuff (lol, working servers) Twitter has refused to pay for.

He might try bankruptcy, but like 20 seconds of googling seem to suggest that would be complicated and might end with the banks that loaned him the money grabbing control over the company to some degree, which musk would totally hate.

Might still end up happening anyways though, it would be hilarious for him to lose the company and it going right back to being called Twitter.

This whole thing has been funny as hell, especially how he spent so much money on the thing and is now smashing it into the ground until it's worthless.
