“We’re expect folks will go along and stop referring to ‘tweeting’ and go with the more brand appropriate term of ‘x-creting’ from now on.” Musk said before adding, "‘X-cretions’ and ‘x-creted’ are encouraged too.
The fact that I don’t know if this is real or a joke tells you how ridiculous Musk has become.
idk if you came up with this but I expect to see this joke a bunch more in the coming days lol
Do the “twitter videos” become “x videos” now?
They suspended xvideos.com’s account and the rumor is they are considering calling the videos on their platform xvideos… I REALLY REALLY want this to happen.
I want to see the ensuing trademark lawsuit from the owners of xvideo.com
Don’t bet on it. Twitter doesn’t have to host anyone it doesn’t want. TOS and all that.
They don’t have to host them but they can’t infringe on their name.
Guess it’s a moot point because as far as I know they didn’t end up using that name for their videos.

@wanderingmagus Here is your reminder!
@wanderingmagus Ok, I will remind you on Tuesday Jun 25, 2024 at 10:01 AM PDT.
It’s called X now.… proceeds to prompt “log in to twitter”.
This is becoming a branding shit show.
Musk doesn’t seem to understand the concept of a developmental environment prior to a production launch.
Such a genuinely shit name.
I’m not even one of the rabid Musk haters, but it’s just an absolutely dreadful name that a 10 year old thinks is cool…
I bet you all next he will rebrand some of his other companies as ‘S’ (SpaceX?) and ‘E’ (??) just to be CEO of SEX. This man is so extremely childish.
He already has done it for Tesla models: S, 3, X, Y
I fully expect people to still be calling it twitter for a long time.
I call it “irrelevant.”
I wish…
That’s because it’s an established brand with a huge value to it. Everyone knows twitter. Only an idiot would throw that away.
I call meta still facebook. fuck this rebranding bullshit to disssociate with shittyness
Meta/Facebook and Google/Alphabet are very different from Twitter/X. The first two created parent companies under which their large brand names still exist, but are now managed along with their other properties (Instagram,
Snapchat, Waymo, Deepmind, etc.) Musk, meanwhile, is trying to completely burn down the Twitter brand for some incomprehensible reason.
Yeah just like Meta will allways be Facebook for me
Even the new name implementation feels half-assed. It still says Twitter everywhere you go on the website in words. Like why not wait until you’re fully ready to make the change?
Move fast and fuck it all up
Damn, their brand guidelines still uses the old logo, his designers probably didn’t have a say.
What a !@#$show.
You’ll remember that name, because the moment the site appears, you’ll click the little X on the top right corner of your computer screen to get rid of it.
I took it for a spin.
- x.com
- Do you want to sign in with Google? -> press X
- Sign in on Twitter -> press X
- 404 page not found -> press X on tab
It’s anything but inconsistent.
is there a way to block all elon musk and twitter news?
The Connect client can hide posts based on keywords. I switched from Jerboa purely for that one feature.
I just made the same switch. Out of curiosity: were you able to up-downvote with jerboa? Exiting thread and getting back in, my votes are gone.
Someone made an extension to do just that. It blurs out all news about billionaires.
I can’t remember what it’s called, though.
Ace, yeah that’s the one!
THE HYPE
IT’S REAL
It’s pronounced “ten” right?
Nope, it’s pronounced dix. Learn some french, sheesh.
Ribbit
Time to switch to Wayland
How in the world are there so many here who get that joke?
I guess lemmy is a seriously skewed part of the population. Which is cool I guess. ;)
No idea how people are still buying and riding in this guy’s cars after seeing how badly he runs a website.
Badly is a vast understatement. There isn’t a word that describes blowing 44 billion. Maybe 1 Musk can be a new unit of idiocy.
“He really Musked it this time”.
“Damn it, Jim! You just lost the company 100.000 dollars!”
“How big of a failure are we talking about here?”
“It’s about a 0.00000227272 Musk! You’re fired!”
What does that convert to Shrute Bucks?
My contribution to this new logo.
Funnily enough I saw this exact images on multiple places outside of Lemmy, including on Twitter.
Even with the tongue… or just the bid and X cause I’ve seen hundreds of the bird with X eye but not any other ones with the tongue sticking out.
Guess i’ll now just call it “The company formerly known as Twitter” 🤷🏻♂️
