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.

Holy shit. Dude barfs 40 billions to acquire a company and won't pay a designer for his new logo ? He won't even run stable diffusion on it ?
Jesus christ the future is bright

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.

NuTwitter!

(Wrote this earlier, but it fits nicely as direct reply to the "as you were typing" post, too.) I heard an expert interviewee (the actual guy who created the prior logo) opine that the placeholder-X will have to soon be redrafted as an 'X' with 'more roundedness' (he was rather proud of the circles he used to build up the erstwhile Larry). Though, to me, polishing a t... otal mess like this isn't going to be the deal-breaker/-maker to transition into the virtual Omni Consumer Products that he apparently plans.

I haven't followed that story to be honest. So that thing is a placeholder ?
Right now, having a white on black "X" on my browser tab gives the impression I have an amateur russian porn site open.

No, it's permanent.

And it's telling you to press the other X, the one that appears when you mouse over the tab, whenever you see it in the browser hotbar.

Well, if you are subscribed to the "right" people, Twitter X can serve as an amateur Russian porn site.

It's all coming together. It's so trashy I feel it'll install malware on my pc.

I wish there was one credible alternative, open source would be fantastic, but mastodon is a mess. Threads might legitimately be better at this point, but it's trading aids for syphillis

Stop disrespecting the space genius !

Elon Musk is a man that have a level of humanist altruism truly unmatched.
He helped people of all ages that are suffering from famine around the world by teaching them they should stop whining and be happy by not investing insane billions of dollars in active real help to provide food for the people in need but instead invest those insane billions in some shitty internet social crap.

Maybe in the future people will finally see how Musk was such a great human and not a disgusting little piece of shit, probably a future in which humans brain will have degenerated enough so they can't remember anything anyways

I think it's all a big hunt for Musk's buried treasure.
We should all rent huge bulldozers and shovels, bulldoze all twitter data centers and start digging underneath them.
X marks the spot right?

[Egan_BW]

He fired most of the employees right after buying the company. Now he's willingly surrendering the brand. I wonder how much of what he paid for he isn't planning on tossing in the trash?

[King Zultan]

He's probably gonna bin the entire thing because he has more money than brains.

It's all coming together. It's so trashy I feel it'll install malware on my pc.

You act like it hasn't been doing that the entire time.

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

He's obsessed with the letter.  He tried to rename PayPal X and got ousted.  SpaceX.  Some Tesla model.  He literally named one of his sons X.

He's committed, I guess?

If not, he should be.

Elon Musk’s radical rebranding of Twitter as “X” led to the site being blocked in Indonesia.

Indonesia’s Ministry of Communication and Informatics said the site was restricted as the domain had been previously used by sites that did not adhere to the country’s strict laws against “negative” content such as pornography and gambling

Unfortunately, that's manifestly untrue - the domain name has been owned since the early 90s by Musk and his companies. It was originally an online banking company that developed into PayPal, which held the domain until Musk bought it back recently. The current registration has existed since 1993. Indonesia didn't even have internet before that.
