X is the future state of unlimited interactivity – centered in audio, video, messaging, payments/banking – creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities. Powered by AI, X will connect us all in ways we’re just beginning to imagine.— Linda Yaccarino (@lindayacc) July 23, 2023

In 2000, Elon Musk tried to rebrand PayPal as https://t.co/BBM8GTWvT5, but was forced out by the board and replaced as CEO by Peter Thiel.Now he’s doing the same to Twitter, but is surrounded by sycophants who can’t tell him it’s a bad idea.Read more: https://t.co/rZGze8niM6 pic.twitter.com/f7vAENrUhf— Paris Marx (@parismarx) July 23, 2023

Back in 1993 I co-founded a company that become known as XE, an extremely popular currency site and app. This was our logo from 1993 to 2007. Perhaps it looks familiar. pic.twitter.com/4suVghuPmp— Steven Dengler 🌻 (@Dracogen) July 23, 2023

the site fucking sucks now. most of the good posters are gone, I'm getting bot followers and spam messages constantly, there's a million ads for boner pills, and the blue check shit has made it so all the top replies are cringey as hell. also the timeline seems to be consistently broken so it's not even good for sports anymore. I don't even see the replies I get half the time because notifications are also busted. I just cannot imagine anyone continuing to use this place after it's called "X" or whatever

It has come to my attention that the person who submitted this logo to Elon Musk may have not acquired the proper license to use Special Alphabets 4 in a logo for a website with a large userbase. pic.twitter.com/7sFuexEqg5— Fontendo (@Fontendou) July 24, 2023

I don't think I've seen it mentioned here so far but (related to Google) there's only so many companies that get to become a verb and it's quite something to see someone intentionally take an axe to one of them.

changing your website name to X is possibly the most edgy-14-year-old-boy thing he's done so far, and that’s really saying something

TBH reading about it itt I honestly thought this was just another 'coked out of his mind @ 3 AM' idea Musk pulled out of his ass with no intention of ever following through on. But wow, look at that, kudos.
Someone (a lot of someones) should tell him to stop fucking around and just change the site to x.xxx already

X sounds gloomy and dystopian. the promo video he posted for x even includes this sinister static effect. just the dumbest branding change ever. the bird logo and the name "twitter" were the best things about the "hell site."

Elon "Graphic Design Is My Passion" Musk's logo for "X" is literally just Unicode Character “𝕏” (U+1D54F).
love the armchair designers and typographers crawling out of the woodwork here. "literally just Unicode Character “𝕏”" -- ok in what typeface ("font") would that unicode codepoint be rendered? as i type this right now, 𝕏 is being rendered in a sans-serif font that looks nothing like the new logo.
afaik typefaces are intellectual property so one cannot legally use it for whatever they want. also i joked earlier that it looks like the X11 and XE logo but it also kinda looks like the old xerox logo too. there's definitely precedent for simple, single letter trademarks
