Saudi-government-funded Twitter is about to rebrand as Saudi-government-funded X.

It will remain a Musk-controlled booster of extremism and enemies of democracy.

And, sadly, Big Journalism will continue to support it.

@dangillmor Bad play for many reasons. One is that he’s forcing every website with a Twitter link to change it to an X. In their evaluation between doing that, putting on a different link, or just dropping it altogether, he’s likely to lose.
