    Elon is a genius! He removed the bird, symbolizing the loss of freedom for its user and his company’s inability to soar to great heights.

    The bird leaving indicates an impeding catastrophe about to hit his company and the new symbol “X” is just as clever, because that’s the sign people will click on when they go uninstall the app. Soon, the relationship between Twitter and its users will be nonexistent, just like Musk and his “X” wives

    I have no idea why CNN would do a news story on what amounts to a marketing gimmick from a website.

    Elon’s obsession with “X” is the most cringe thing about him.

      I honestly think he desperately wanted to be a porn star or something. Like, he really is maniacally obsessed with ‘x’. He’s such a complete fucking tool.

    He’s changing it to a toilet, to match what most people call the platform these days.

    They’re probably different enough to not get sued but I wouldn’t want to risk Amazon getting litigious.

      He’s also risking legal action from Microsoft (DirectX, Xbox), Apple (OS X), Google (skunkworks called Google X), Xvideos, Firaxis (XCOM) and Meta (owns a trademark on X in social media they bought from MS for what became Facebook Games) all at the same time.
