So I can see the embedded tweet there
But I can't see twitter (don't have an account)
When I click the tweet, it loads twitter but doesn't work, saying "Something went wrong. Try reloading."
Bizarre
Interesting. I suspect he's going to break its usefulness even more, rather than admit he's got it wrong. Once it stops being the standard go-to sharing-of-news platform, another one will quickly take its place... there are a fe lining themselves up... BlueSky, Spoutible, Threads, Post etc., but one will become dominant in time.0 -

The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Another (conspiracy) theory is that the people who funded his acquisition of Twitter actually want it to fail. His actions don't dispel that idea.

He's decided to change the name of twitter. Tomorrow.
No value in that brand, obviously.0 -

So what happens now we don’t tweet we X?0 -
Given how confused I am when someone says that the queen has done something, I think I'll stick with tweets.
Or more pertinently, "Opal Fruits" is trending on twitter.0 -

A sketch, around 2006, by Jack Dorsey, envisioning an SMS-based social network.Twitter's origins lie in a "daylong brainstorming session" held by board members of the podcasting company Odeo. Jack Dorsey, then an undergraduate student at New York University, introduced the idea of an individual using an SMS service to communicate with a small group. The original project code name for the service was twttr, an idea that Williams later ascribed to Noah Glass, inspired by Flickr and the five-character length of American SMS short codes. The decision was also partly due to the fact that the domain twitter.com was already in use, and it was six months after the launch of twttr that the crew purchased the domain and changed the name of the service to Twitter. The developers initially considered "10958" as the service's short code for SMS text messaging, but later changed it to "40404" for "ease of use and memorability". Work on the project started on March 21, 2006, when Dorsey published the first Twitter message at 12:50 p.m. PST (UTC−08:00): "just setting up my twttr". Dorsey has explained the origin of the "Twitter" titlehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter
It's akin to renaming a dog a cat, utterly futile, everyone will still know it as a dog.
I guess God has bad days too, creating flies n $h1t.
Oh, dog nappies, come on people!

Fair play to anyone who wants to explain why "X Blue" is suddenly showing up on their credit card statements.0

I was tempted to put this in the cheering up thread, but...
It seems that Musk won't be able to copyright his new X because it's just a unicode character...The code for X’s X is U+1D54F, known as Mathematical Double-Struck Capital X — a character intended for use by mathematicians.

Many moons ago when microsoft were working on their games console, as a working name they referred to it as the "direct x box" direct x being the APIs the ran all the games and programming off.briantrumpet said:Oh, it gets even more interesting (and funny)
Eventually, they were working on it so long they dropped the "direct" bit, and the name stuck.0 -
