Imagine spending 40 billion dollars on one of the most recognizable brands in history, so deeply embedded in the public consciousness that any other company would throw virgins into a volcano for a chance at that level of recognition, just to replace all of that branding with your own little name that everyone has been telling you sounds stupid for the last 25 years

I don't care, that sycophant can fuck himself.
Still Twitter to me.
When the business fails and is eventually sold again, it will be changed back to Twitter.
Then again perhaps he won't ever sell it unless he goes completely broke. Just prolonging the damage he does to society as long as he possibly can.
If he's spent $44 Billion on it, you can rest assure he's not letting it go that easily unless he sees more than half of that come back from a buyer. And the only way he'll see that money is if Apple or Microsoft will bother with it, which they won't.
It wasn't his money.

Google X videos for more info
THIS IS AN X-PARROT!
The Twitter bird isnt dead, it's just pining for the fjords
I'll give him credit on this: It's not dead yet. I'm genuinely surprised about that.

Ah yes, the everything-falling-apart-app
We'll definitely start calling it X now, definitely.
We should!
Stop humouring the assholes that are still on that bigoted network.
Every time someone calls it twitter, don’t give them the satisfaction of disassociating themselves from Musky’s X.
Oh so you’re an X’er. You like to Xeet a lot eh?
It's called xitter, and it's full of xit(s).
This is pretty funny actually, I'll start doing this 😅

Man I never wanted a cyberdisk to show up more than I do right now
Still gonna squat on to the domain though.
I see that as a good thing. Prevents it rising from the grave.
Honestly, I’d actually love to see some rando grab the domain and rebuild the site as it was before Musk, or turn it into a Mastodon instance. Not because I enjoyed pre-musk Twitter, but purely because it would piss Musk off to have to compete.

Please think of the poor malware developers.
Also it would me a massive global security issue if allowed to fall on malicious hands. I mean, other than the CEO's.
