Twitter rebrands as X

[Electric_Andy]

I've never found a reason to use Twitter.

+1. I went on it a few years ago, started following Stephen Fry and Miley Cyrus, and never logged in again

According to X, or is that Twitter (?!?!), Meta own the copyright to use X for social media purposes

Seems more like social media suicide. Tweeted / sent a tweet is common useage which most people understand. I've X'ed? Might as well say you have shat yourself.

His cars track their users movements and even video footage or thei4 drivers and the data is gathered by the manufacturer.

I think most cars now track users movements. Often a key part of a criminal investigation - listening to the Crossbow Murder on BBC Sounds and it's amazing what even a Discovery records - even down to how long a door was open.

X seems a silly idea. I can't see that catching on.

I doubt it's "most" yet. One day it probably will be. Got any numbers?

It's not X, it's 𝕏. Unless you're typing it into a web browser, where most of them convert it back to X as a defence against homograph attacks. It's not only silly but a flaming mess.

Given the majority demographic that I (rightly or wrongly) associate with Twatter, this branding seems like the complete polar opposite of what will appeal to existing users. Seems like yet another step in Musk's total destruction of his acquisition.. Bloke appears to be a total knobber tbh.

Will they be moving their UK headquarters to Exeter?

It does make me wonder if Musk misunderstood the "Embrace, Extend and Extinguish" monopolist tactic and thought "extinguish" meant to destroy his own company, instead of competitors.

No but they need to make Musk the Exmouth piece of twitter before he exes it up completely.

I don't know why Musk paid $30 billion + for Twitter..

I downloaded it free from the Play Store!
