Its a terrible rebrand that pretty much comes because of Elon’s impulses, or in other words, for shits and giggles. Regardless of this hilarious trashing of such a powerful brand, I’ll have fun calling tweets “xeets” for a good week.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia spent good money to never have an Arab Spring again.

Which is nuts because they have a nationwide content filter and could just blacklist Twitter and be done with it in 5 minutes.

Please call them Elon’s x-crements instead.

It must be so horrible working “with” him. You’re trying to build something and every morning you must be frightened to see Elon hanging on a ladder because he thought it was so funny to draw dicks everywhere on the building, which would have you cancel everything you are working on.

I’ve worked in a founder led business and this is why I quit.

I’d spend forever working on a project to build a satellite site then suddenly we don’t want that anymore - bin the recipes we want a full main site redbrand.

Bye.
