Tweeting will now be Xcreting. Tweets will now be Xcretions.
Yes, I stole this off Reddit.

Does this mean that liked tweets are now x-rated?
I rate your xcretion.

Cuckerberg better release it pronto
Or they could fight for it...
Damn. That's perfect.
It seems like he puts no thought into any of this but its all failing so spectacularly that part of me wonders if its deliberate. Even if he was just throwing shit at the wall, surely some of it would stick but he's failing from every angle so maybe it's deliberate and he just thinks this is funny?
Yeah pretty certain he'll ban this word soon. Auto replace it with Ole Ole I love you etc.
I knew I've seen that before:
Hoping Bill Gates is still around.
All the Muck That's Fit to Rake
He overpaid a lot for it, he has simply decided he is going to have fun with it.
That's the only explanation of his moronic decisions that makes any sense to me.

same. I put Xs in old emails and usernames when i was 12-14. I thought it was cool but it was the lamest fecking thing.Elon is so cringey and insecure so this juvenile attempt to be cool doesn't really surprise me.
It's like he wasn't cool when he was that age so now he's using his money to appeal to the same age group. He's the "how do you do fellow kids" meme with a quarter trillion dollars. Crypto, the MMA crap, anti-vax, its all about trying to impress overly online teens and 20-somethings.

Even "Wechat" understood you had to keep the name kind of tangentially linked to it's original function.
He dumped one of the most recognisable brand names in the world for a non-brand he made up in the last few days. I'm enjoying how much he's tanked his reputation.

idk how its only now I'm finding this out. WTF is he doing? Just throwing away one of the most recognizable brands for what is basically a 50 yr old's idea of what edgy teens find cool these days. I don't think I've ever seen a man so up his own arse like him.

Yeah, just X-it.
How do I type in the web address? What if my 'fingers slip' and I have too many X's before the .com? 
What will be the theme tune for the launch? Let's talk about X, baby?

feck me… has to be parody. Has to..I have never liked or used twitter, so this is just funny to see from the outside.
oh no he's had this stupid X idea in his head for 20+ years. he tried to change paypal to X and they kicked him out
I take it back.
So do we need a thread title change or do we wait until there is enough brand awareness for people to know what X means?
Definitely has that feel to it, like he wants his own personal dictator style stamp on it. Makes me cringe when I open twitter now, which I'm feeling much less inclined to do going forward.
One more step toward his goal of pushing his detractors off the platform, so its just left with the bots, far-right and oblivious types ripe for manipulation.
Has tweetdeck been nuked for non-subscribers now? I know there was talk about it a couple of weeks ago and now I'm getting the rate limited message. Can still access via the app.
Sawyer Merritt stitching him up. Who'd thunk it, a sycophantic, Musk worshipper would just lazily lift an X from a piece of code to try and impress his saviour and he won't be able to trademark it.
Welp
Never having been active on twitter hasn't felt better.
What's Twitter? This is the X thread
Ding ding ding.
This stuff is dangerous. Years from now researchers will have a field day studying the impacts of the Trumps and Elons of the world helping to bring about the race to the bottom of human decency.
Should have named it "Y". Then we would have people yeet.
