Taylor LorenzElon Musk’s rebranding of Twitter as “X” led to the site being blocked in Indonesia under the country’s strict laws restricting pornography and gambling. https://www.thedailybeast.com/elon-musks-twitter-rebrand-as-x-gets-site-blocked-under-indonesia-porn-laws #elonmusk #twitter #twittermigration #musk

Frank Wheeler@taylorlorenz Musk is an absolute moron.
Liroy Leshed@taylorlorenz Interesting

SarahATX@taylorlorenz the latest example of the necessity of product research?
Jan-Hendrik Fox@taylorlorenz understandable when you consider how hard Musk fucked Twitter in the last months.
LonesomeDove@Jaguar6392 @taylorlorenz and didn’t ask permission .. nor show any affection
Sameera@taylorlorenz To get this level of story line where there’s a writer’s strike…this writes itself… is this AI?!
Viss@taylorlorenz fantastico
noelserrato@taylorlorenz thanks for sharing

Adrian 🇺🇦🏴☠️@taylorlorenz I'm not sure what's funnier.
Twitter getting blocked in Indonesia, or the people in charge of internet censorship in Indonesia don't know what Twitter is...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Steve DavidianIm waiting for someone (Taylor?) to get under Elon's skin even more by getting the world to start calling it...
TWIX instead.
And a tweet becomes a tweak.
Seems more relevant this way.
@Stegosaurus @taylorlorenz I saw someone on here suggest replacing "tweet" with "Xcrete" and it's sticking with me

king toot uncommon@taylorlorenz fucking lol
Adam West-ish@taylorlorenz this is an X platform, bleedinʻ demised, itʻs shuffled off this mortal coil...
AnimeDev@taylorlorenz the saga thats keep on giving 😂
Ian Hecht 🇨🇦@taylorlorenz Has anyone asked @jack, @ev, or @biz what they think of Elon ripping up all their branding work? I started using Twitter a little after its SXSW push (circa 2008 or so), and I don't think I would have grabbed an account if it had been called X at the time.
Judith@taylorlorenz It’s not surprising that this happened, other reporters who have a deeper understanding of the issues with Twitter and the way Elon Musk operates are dumbfounded on this rebranding of what is considered one of the most valuable brands in the world. I think time will tell us the true impact of this strategy or lack of it.
CBKain23@taylorlorenz Another excellent display of doing a triple backflip onto a landmine
JoeY ☕️🎮✍️🏽@taylorlorenz What the.... 😲 Is this like that Meta rebrand? Or Twitter will cease to be...

🇪🇺 Paul Schoonhoven 🍋🍉@taylorlorenz @edgeofeurope they (Indonesia) banned the Twist also... (in the 60s)
(see alt-text for translation)
David Beach@taylorlorenz No! You don’t get it! it’s like X marks the spot! Like treasure! You know, money and treasure and adventure and finding stuff and buying it like a dog walker or a scarf for your model/mom or, paying your rent or your student loans or your electrical bill or a ride to the hospital or your hospital bill or a clown for your child Zxribbit-420’s birthday party or crypto, yeah crypto, or a blue check no make that a black check black is cooler than blue yeah I’m vibing on this now!

Chris Lilley 🏴@taylorlorenz Coming soon, Musk launches genius video-sharing site xvideos.com and is somewhat surprised.
LiemPong_pagongwow the stupidity.
Voline@taylorlorenz Masterful gambit, sir.
VulcanSphere@taylorlorenz As much as Vulcan hates Indonesiam censorship law, #Muskrat deserves a slap for such a disastrous rebranding
MiaFal@taylorlorenz while this is hilarious, this speaks more to the terrible level of internet censorship in Indonesia than the stupidity of the X rebrand.
A Lloyd Flanagan@inform880 @taylorlorenz oh come on, can’t it do both?
Frottier@taylorlorenz given it's riddled with crypto bros and porn, this is not even a false claim
krisu@taylorlorenz Concerning.
furina 💧⚖️@taylorlorenz musk on his way to make more changes to get twitter banned in every country:
MrRant@taylorlorenz So X is not going to “give it to ya” if you are in Indonesia.
Chris McMillan@taylorlorenz his lack of professionalism is mind-blowing
Elkenumber1@taylorlorenz great! 🤣👌
@taylorlorenz may be that that abusive & unforgiving TexAss sun fried his brain…
Cue up
All My Xs Live in TexAss..
But his heart remains in Saaaauuu-diiii!

realPAIDtriotHow this musk melon developed a reputation as a genius is beyond me.
a Witty Name@taylorlorenz now that’s idiots vs idiot.
I wonder how they teach polynomials over there.
@taylorlorenz this is what he gets! I’ve definitely officially left Twitter! I still go on for one or two things, but I am hardly on at all!
Doncs he desinstal·lat twitter sense voler perquè ni idea del canvi de nom. Si ho hagués sabut, l'hauria desinstal·lat volent, perquè ja tocava.
