Lmao, he definitely looked at the graphic designer and said “make it bolder”
You really gonna publish a rough draft? Your 40 billion dollar baby you just doin shit? He's like a child in a Ferrari just burning up the clutch in the parking lot. Worse. He's a 52 year old man burning up the clutch and blaming everyone who tries to help him.
Ffs. That’s a thing you finalize BEFORE pulling the trigger on it.
This is just more proof of the ad hoc nature of things over there, and how everything is dependent on his protean-ass will. And he thinks folks are actually gonna trust him with their money?
He's acted like there's a mad rush, trying to crowdsource a logo overnight and then saying it's good enough to use as an 'interim logo'. I guess he needed to change it before the coke wore off and he went to sleep.
It's pretty bizarre how it worked. "We're going to replace our world famous brand, logo and 'slowly, all the birds', overnight with a logo someone sends me. That will work as an 'interim logo'." I mean , wtf is the rush?
I do not get the rush. He’s clearly not thought any of it out, which is obnoxious by how piecemeal the rollout was.
The second largest market for Twitter is Japan. The legal entity for it in Japan is Twitter Japan. So, seems like they’d charge it to X Japan, right?
Well, no. Because the trademark for X Japan is owned by the very famous over here rock band X Japan. One of the founding members, Yoshiki, already tweeted in English and Japanese that the name is trademarked. So what are they going to call it? ¯_(ツ)_/¯ That’s something so basic even a rudimentary Google search would have said the name was unavailable in the second largest market, but Elon couldn’t even be bothered to have any of the grunts still stuck working for him look into the actual logistics of using the name he’s stuck on.
The only reason I can think of that’s not Elon’s manic drug bender wearing off of the idea I’ve seen floating around that he’s trying to force through the face charge to get out of legal and contractual problems by making it so “Twitter” as a compact doesn’t exist so greed not on the hook for any payments Twitter owes. At this point, both ideas seem just as likely.
He changed it back already.
💩 Would be more fitting.
He'll get there eventually. It looks shittier and shittier every time he charges it.
Shitter
Actually would be, since they famously use that emoji to respond to requests from the press.
Xerox?
There's something about this, that just provokes the wrong associations; backslash, backlash, backwards, downwards, axed, crossed out, x-rated, darknet, close-button, third-to-last, xtra xtreme.
And also, "ex", as in the one you left because they were an abusive jackass.
Aren't you supposed to do test marketing with small groups of people?
He doesn't care about his users, he only cares about himself
