Twitter To Rebrand As X - Beehaw

Yes change the name and iconic logo of a huge corporation, that will go over great.

If he hadn’t demonstrated his incompetence earlier I’d think it was intentional.

I still think there’s a bit of intent to destroy the company but it’s kinda hard to tell.

There’s a woman over on Mastodon making the argument that he’s trying to destroy it so it can’t be used to organize left-leaning political action (fundraising, activism, issue messaging, etc) any longer. She makes a compelling argument.
The issue with that argument is… Why? He is a business man, activism generally doesn’t effect him, tesla cars are generally liked by left leaning middle class, why would he spend so much money to destroy something?

His ex-wife did ask him to buy and kill Twitter:

“Can you buy Twitter and then delete it, please!? xx” Riley allegedly texted Musk on March 24. “America is going INSANE.”

Musk's ex-wife texted him to fight Twitter 'woke-ism': report

"Can you buy Twitter and then delete it, please!?" Riley allegedly texted Elon Musk on March 24. "America is going INSANE."
