Weird new pronunciation aside, I like the distressed look of the icon. I hope Elon adds texture to the site as he downloads more Photoshop brushes.

The thought of Elon firing up a pirated version of CS3 to work on a new logo is amusing me far more than it probably should.

That's incredibly stupid from a business stand point. No one needs to be an expert to tell him that branding is all that Twitter has. I fear now that when Twitter dies after it's re-branding that all these Twitter spergs are going to infest the Internet again like what happened with Tumblr. I hope they all just got to Reddit where the other half of the Tumblr users went.

At this point, where else is there to infest that they haven't already, other than our tiny corner of the internet that none of them will even acknowledge exists?

There's only 26 letters in our alphabet, and the tards already froth at the mouth over 3 of them, q obviously, z cuz ukies and the putler, and now x. That's 3 down in ten years. We're gonna have to devolve back to grunts and gestures just to appease the crybabies within 100 years at this rate. And the right does a similar thing with the lgbtqwtfbbq bullshit, so we're really kinda fucked.

Investors. Like the ones who wrote the checks to finance the purchase of X

If this leads to some really stupid trademark disputes this would be amazingly stupid.

Edit: https://fortune.com/2023/07/24/elon-musk-twitter-x-brand-value/

Apparently wiped out 4-20bn worth of value with this move. 15 years of brand building up in flames in 1 day. Simply amazing.

What investors? He bought out all the stockholders. Taking it private was the whole point of his buyout.

It is both the most retarded and autistic thing Musk could have done, and the most based, simultaneously.

He should be playing a fiddle like Nero (and yes I know that was bullshit).

Wow, "brand analysts" have an opinion on something that literally just happened. Who made this determination of a 20 billion " brand loss," the Lucky Charms Leprechaun?

Oh come on, this is Joker tier burning an entire mountain of money just for the fuck of it stuff.

I agree, but the fact the media couldn't wait 10 seconds for it to actually fail before declaring a $20 billion loss over the bird icon changing shows how hilariously biased they are. I don't expect it to recover, but who cares. lol

When they say $4b to $20b loss you know they have no idea what they’re talking about. Why such a huge discrepancy?

Perhaps they have absolutely no way of knowing, and they're pulling numbers out of their ass?

"Brand Value" appears to be non-quantifiable, from my reading of the article.

I'm not a marketingfag though, perhaps someone who has a formal education in this would be able to explain it.

The Saudis stumped up a lot of the cash for it, I heard? They’d have serious objectives in terms of preventing something like the Arab Spring happening again.

One of the original explanations for all this was that Musk had been forced into the purchase by the SEC after shitposting that he was going to do so.
Once he’s got it, all he could try to do was stop the operating losses which are real money rather than imaginary share value based, and has simply continued to make one stupid blunder after the next. And/or deliberately fuck it up for shits and giggles.

Again, hard to say if his evil genius will soon rule over us with an iron fist, or if the banks will own “X” within the next couple of months.

If your estimation has a margain of error of nearly 80% then your estimation is fucking garbage and should be thrown in the trash alongside you.

I don't even wanna simp for elon but people going "ELON CHANGING THE TWITTER LOGO COST HIM A MILLION BILLION GORILLION DOLLARS" is the most retarded shit ever.
