It’s called X now.… proceeds to prompt “log in to twitter”.
This is becoming a branding shit show.
Do the "twitter videos" become "x videos" now?
"We're expect folks will go along and stop referring to 'tweeting' and go with the more brand appropriate term of 'x-creting' from now on." Musk said before adding, "'X-cretions' and 'x-creted' are encouraged too.
idk if you came up with this but I expect to see this joke a bunch more in the coming days lol
The fact that I don't know if this is real or a joke tells you how ridiculous Musk has become.
Damn, their brand guidelines still uses the old logo, his designers probably didn't have a say.
What a !@#$show.
Even the new name implementation feels half-assed. It still says Twitter everywhere you go on the website in words. Like why not wait until you’re fully ready to make the change?
Move fast and fuck it all up
Such a genuinely shit name.
I’m not even one of the rabid Musk haters, but it’s just an absolutely dreadful name that a 10 year old thinks is cool…
I bet you all next he will rebrand some of his other companies as ‘S’ (SpaceX?) and ‘E’ (??) just to be CEO of SEX. This man is so extremely childish.
He already has done it for Tesla models: S, 3, X, Y
I fully expect people to still be calling it twitter for a long time.
I call it "irrelevant."
That's because it's an established brand with a huge value to it. Everyone knows twitter. Only an idiot would throw that away.
You'll remember that name, because the moment the site appears, you'll click the little X on the top right corner of your computer screen to get rid of it.
I took it for a spin.
It's anything but inconsistent.
TWITTER IS NOW X.ORG
THE YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP LADS
ITS HAPPENING
THE HYPE
IT'S REAL
It's pronounced "ten" right?
Nope, it's pronounced dix. Learn some french, sheesh.
My contribution to this new logo.
All of this is just noise designed to keep us talking about the site. You could call it bad advertising. We should stop feeding the troll.
How long until Elon starts referring to himself as Mr X, like Homer does in an episode of The Simpsons?
So let me get this straight. Musk bought Twitter for 44 billion, fired most of the staff, destroyed bunch of features and functionality, scared advertisers away and now changed the brand's name. Wouldn't it be less hassle to just start a platform and pay people $100 each as a sign up bonus?
Guess i’ll now just call it “The company formerly known as Twitter” 🤷🏻♂️
Guys the Android app is still called Twitter.
What...

is there a way to block all elon musk and twitter news?
Time to switch to Wayland
How in the world are there so many here who get that joke?
I guess lemmy is a seriously skewed part of the population. Which is cool I guess. ;)
If we lived in meritocracy, Elon would be living in his moms basement instead of being a billionaire.
instead of tweet you now xcrete
No idea how people are still buying and riding in this guy's cars after seeing how badly he runs a website.
Badly is a vast understatement. There isn't a word that describes blowing 44 billion. Maybe 1 Musk can be a new unit of idiocy.
"He really Musked it this time".
“Damn it, Jim! You just lost the company 100.000 dollars!”
“How big of a failure are we talking about here?”
“It’s about a 0.00000227272 Musk! You’re fired!”
What does that convert to Shrute Bucks?
Ribbit
Buy and then kill one of most recognizable brands of the early 21st century. Elon truly is the genius he and his bootlickers believe him to be.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
