I don't really get why he hasn't gone the Facebook / Meta route. Just make X the parent company and gradually promote the X name - "Twitter, part of X" or whatever until everyone is used to the name.

But heyho, I'm not a billionaire so don't get an opinion.

Because he doesn't have a clue as to how much work a re-branding actually entails? 😂

Musk's rebrand looks like it was created by a 16-year-old to promote an extreme sports event which is sponsored by an adult channel

Those graphics look really familiar but I can’t quite place where I’ve see that style of editing before!
How about not having a sig at all?

Only very loosely related, but a tweet about the time Musk wrote off his Macca F1 (whilst is wasn’t insured). Not that it’s of any consequence when you have £squilldillions but anyway..:

Nice story but tell me you’re a NCG without telling me you’re a NCG

Bailiffs?


Also, on one of the EM F1 stories, someone had a fit arguing "It's a P1 not a F1 :evil: :evil: :evil: ".

That animation reminds me of Top of the Pops in the 1980s

I can almost hear "The Wizard" by Paul Hardcastle playing over it

I tell you what, going back to the start of this thread and seeing people going "But he's a billionaire, he knows what he's doing" is a genuine treat.
