Can't wait to see them genuinely try and get any financial applications off the ground. Elon can't even be trusted to pay rent or bills for the company at the moment. And now he and whoever's left at this shell of a hell-site are supposed to go before regulators and say with a straight face, "Yes! We can safely handle people's money!"

Elon is eventually going to come down from whatever designer drug cocktail he's been on for the past few days, and then when he shows up at the HQ he's going to freak out about why everything is broken, all the logos defaced and replaced with some X bullshit. Then he's gonna fire some random employees as scapegoats, and that will be the end of X and all the associated "projects".

Yes, that's exactly what people want. Being pushed to pay more for an increasingly shittier user experience. Also, love seeing XSupport and TwitterSupport literally on top of one another. Just a simply outstandingly smooth brand switch.

shame elon already committed to the laziest possible branding
People creating stuff like this, whilst impressive, miss the point entirely.

He doesn’t *want* X to be connected to the progenitor bird branding, so why the gently caress would he want a logo that invokes associations with it? He wants to clean slate the whole thing and finally realise his vision of creating an “X” company, even though he’s been told it’s poo poo before, and was even forced out of PayPal when he tried to force it on them.

This vision does not involve paying tribute or even calling to mind Twitter or any of its branding.

So what he wants is what services like America Online and Prodigy provided before they were replaced by the World Wide Web? This?

Elon has backpedaled on some of his worst weekend bender ideas, while never admitting fault of course, but there is zero chance he'll walk back on this.

X the everything company has always been his biggest dream; he was the CEO of proto-paypal and the board fired him because he was absolutely adamant about having the worst branding ever, and twitter not only has no authority to stop him, he's also fired anyone with the sense to criticize him.

E: plus his whole credit-stealing habit, no one is going to unironically call him the founder of twitter, so the name needs to go
