Taylor LorenzThe Twitter account just officially rebranded to X but they can’t figure out how to change the handle
Pēteris Krišjānis@taylorlorenz hahahahha lol

Close to the logo used by the X-Window system from MIT
10tothe22@taylorlorenz
What a joke this has become.
What a joke this has become.
Wogan May@taylorlorenz Maybe because they first have to boot this poor unsuspecting account off the network?
Ярослав ꑭ@wogan @taylorlorenz i wonder if they will rebrand to "Y" after figuring that out
@ukrkyi @taylorlorenz This is Elon we're talking about, the only reason the @x account is not dead yet is because the engineer is currently in the bathroom or something.
Ividapp Avidapp എല്ലായിടത്തും!
Syulang@wogan @ukrkyi @taylorlorenz *the* engineer. Singular. The last one at the website formerly known as twitter. That poor sod. Damn, I feel sorry for them.
Staid WinnowHuh?
After X comes XI.
If that happens, Trump will demand to know why it is not named after him.
Open Science ✅@ukrkyi @staidwinnow @wogan @taylorlorenz
maybe 00100100 could be an option :D

Melissa BearTrix 🏳️⚧️@wogan @taylorlorenz wouldn't be surprised if that is musk
Hugz & xXx
Luca Hammer@wogan @taylorlorenz That's the account of Gene X Hwang, co-founder of https://orangephotography.com. It's linked in his profile and wayback machine confirms it. https://orangephotography.com/aboutus/team/

Thomas Avey@wogan @taylorlorenz he is probably waiting patiently because the prophecy foretells that “X gonna give it to you”
WhereDoesThisButtonGo@wogan @taylorlorenz Did we learn nothing from the Qwikster debacle?
I'm surprised they haven't started charging for selling inactive account names.
It'd get them huge amounts of money.
neutrino78x@TheLewisScott @wogan @taylorlorenz
Lewis Scott, lol, nah, the user would just stop using Twitter. 😀
@neutrino78x @wogan @taylorlorenz
The one who's name is being sold sure. The brand who wants a specific name or the person will spend money that otherwise wouldn't have been spent.
***Dave Hill 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇱🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️@taylorlorenz #ElonMusk wants to create Mystery and Excitement about the brand he chose to sink millions into, and instead merely makes it all seem Uncertain and Untrustworthy.
juliusloewe@taylorlorenz ok this is hilarious

@taylorlorenz When this fail they will change to XXX,
MMR Nmd@Paladin Well, when a youth, XXX meant "straight edge" NO drugs, NO meat, NO (over) -sex.
I doubt this fits Elon's Project. :-))
@taylorlorenz

Tuxicoman@MMRnmd @Paladin @taylorlorenz
Alternative was Titter.
@MMRnmd @taylorlorenz Perfect then. EVERYTHING he does with Twitter is the opposite of smart.
MugsysRapSheet Blog ☑️@Paladin @taylorlorenz
That *does* raise an interesting question:
Will the rebranded site's approval system say content has been "X Rated"? 🤔
ExcelAnalytics
Mike Ely@taylorlorenz to be honest none of this was on my "How else can Melon Husk fuck up the birdsite" bingo card.
jcmurty@taylorlorenz I presume once all bird references have been expunged people will be Xhitting not Tweeting?
Mithgaladh 🌳@jcmurty @taylorlorenz to be fair, I also hit X on Twitter some time ago...
@mithgaladh @taylorlorenz i've been waiting for this moment
Sunlag@taylorlorenz I’m glad I deactivated my account before seeing that. More than 10 years with the blue bird and then… Really such a shame, I’m speechless.
Luca Sironi (da chiudere)@taylorlorenz i just hope the guy who locked “@X” handle is not associated with them
Tobias Horvath@luca @taylorlorenz I'm sure it doesn't belong to them. But I'm unfortunately also convinced that they would just take it from whoever currently is assigned to the handle.
@tobyx @taylorlorenz let’s hope they give him some money, at least a blue subscription!
jsj@taylorlorenz Can’t even imagine the number of things about to break over there…
Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven@taylorlorenz There's only so many ways to stylize an X, but jeez, does this come close to the X.org Foundation's logo's X:
Simon LucyIt was the best that Stable Confusion could come up with on short notice.
Simon Richter
Hans 🙋♂️
Brian@taylorlorenz I wonder if another account has the X handle?
Matthew 
Clark Breyman (he/him)@taylorlorenz - in the interim they can change “what’s happening?” to “where’d everyone go?”
Fabrice Roux 
@taylorlorenz I think the X is pronounced cross as it seems to come from the KKK lexicon. Elno is trying to set it on fire. 😬
John "John Davies" Davies ☑️@taylorlorenz What a spoon.
Arch 
@taylorlorenz The best part is that the x username is already taken lol
The Following and Followers numbers I believe are wrong.
Check it again later and see if they change.
Joined seems off a month. SB March 2007.
They may be screwing the database pooch.
This is what happens when you lose your institutional knowledge.
Michael Gurski@taylorlorenz par for the course?
🔴 I don't know where we should go.. 🟡looool that is quite the Xorg similarity the logo o.O
PK
abhijith@taylorlorenz When do they switch to Wayland?
George Baily@taylorlorenz lol rebranding but underestimating the professional complexity of a slick brand change by two orders of magnitude is so... on brand for him
Joanna Holman@taylorlorenz @gombang their bio has never been more applicable
GrantS_NZ@taylorlorenz Perfect.
Hat. AuDHD cat 😷🌺🍉🌻🔻@taylorlorenz they got it half right
