Musk is a xat.

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.

How long until it all just reverts back to Twitter, Tweets, bird icons etc?

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

Aw diddums

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!

Probably in the free teir of Adobe Premieres plugin pack.

If that.

It's also probably not great if you're epileptic

the white logo, black background and coloured offset shadows just look like tiktok to me.

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
“McLaren F1's are not normal cars. They are lethal works of art. They are Formula 1 racers DISGUISED as barely-legal street cars.”

Bailiffs?


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

Give it 6 months maybe

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'll just leave this here.



Also, I dropped this.

man child confirmed

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.

Looks like Threads is now the one doing the tanking

Apparently TikTok are looking at doing a text based service too.
