kokiriflute,

Everytime you post/upvote Musk spam he gets free marketing. Downvote this shit.

lustyargonian,

If emojies we’re allowed we very well know Musk would go for it. 💩X💩

Steev,

Did they try “X”?

ABluManOnLemmy,

They should try 𝕏

curryandbeans,

This is your hourly reminder that being born into a family that owns an emerald mine doesn’t automatically make you a fucking genius

HawlSera,

I don’t know what’s sadder, that he tried to say that the Emerald Mine was a myth or that my Libertarian friends bought that shit.

cybersandwich,

Your friends being duped is much sadder. Its understandable why he would lie about that. It exposes him as a silver spoon munching brat that what born on 3rd base and thinks he hit a triple.

Your friends not being skeptical enough to see through the bullshit is sad. Anyone being a fanboy of one of these clowns is sad.

pizzazz,

X for Twitter

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

X FOR iOS is probably better. But being an app developer and dealing with apple bullshit so many times I’m frothing over how delicious this snack is.

cloaker,

X, by X Corp? Fuck Elon btw

Louisoix,

Good. I’m all for (even the smallest) confrontations between shitty billionaires and/or shitty corporations.

LegionEris,

Right? Shit politicians too. Ron DeSantis got me rootin’ for fucking Disney. I hate Disney in general, but I wish they’d play more serious Illuminati hardball with DeSantis.

I hate to agree with Apple but…

Spendies,

Seems obvious. They should just add 2 more X’s.

Molzor,

I would prefer if they add one x on either side.

It’s more fitting than most people might realize with how their “For You” section now shows you full nudity every 5th posts.

paddirn,

Can they just do “-X-“? Just as stupid, but whatever.

itsnotlupus,

I vote for xX-[X]-Xx

Alas, this being the darkest timeline, we’ll probably end up with X Social.

It’s quite something how Twitter has been constantly tinkered with since musk took over, and instead of making any tangible improvements, it’s actually just created more mess.

    Is there a word in German that emphasizes how German has a word for everything?

    Tots,

    I’m sure this won’t end up being a huge deal, but the funny part is that this apparently wasn’t planned for. Gives you some insight into how much of a shit show Twitter/X HQ must be right now.

    I think it's fait to just call it Twitter and not "x" or "twitter/x" or "x social" or "Twitter but actually x"

    X will never stick 😅

    “Elon, stop trying to make X happen. It’s not going to happen.”

    saltesc,

    It was cool in the 90s like i in front of a word was cool in the 00/10s. That was his era.

    He tried to do this 20 years ago with PayPal. This is just a midlife crisis, no grand plan.

    Buddahriffic,

    Leaded gas just started being phased out in the US in 1973 was still in use in the 80s was didn’t stop entirely until 1996. South Africa didn’t ban it until sometime between 2002 and 2006. It’s often used in reference to boomers, but gen x was also affected, even millennials to a lesser degree.

    I think I’m okay with it being referred to as “the social media network formerly known as Twitter” from here on out.

    I’m not. Prince was awesome. He changed his name to a symbol because Warner Bros trademarked his name and wouldn’t let him do what he wanted with his own music. People started calling him The Artist Formally Know as Prince. But the reason was ignored and everyone made fun of him.

    Musk is an idiot and loser and shouldn’t be even tangentially compared to Prince.

    I much prefer to call it “10”

    can,

    formerly known as

    Cmot_Dibbler,
    @Cmot_Dibbler@lemmy.world avatar

    Aye yai yai. Yes, thank you.

    Buddahriffic,

    Call it “no”, or maybe “close button”.

    lemme_at_it,

    “Wrong”

    OtakuAltair,

    No idea who prince except he’s a musician but “the site formerly known as Twitter” sounds hilarious

    dylpickles,

    I think you’re a little silly for assuming that directly references Prince. I wasn’t even alive when all that stuff with Prince was happening and I had only heard it happened in a conversation I had with my mom when I was like 12. A conversation suddenly brought back to mind by your comment.

    That’s just kinda what you call something that was formerly known as something else when the something else is not well received.

    can,

    It was popularized by the Prince situation whether people know that today or not.

    Rakn,

    This might hurt a little, but I don’t think most people today know who Prince is. I just know that he was a musician. That sentence is also a commonly used sentence in such scenarios, unrelated to one person.

    ReadyUser31,

    It’s been renamed to X on my partner’s iPhone so they seem to have gotten round it already.

    deranger,

    They haven’t. It’s still Twitter in the App Store. The icon/app name on your phone is not what the article is discussing.

    asparagapple,

    Same for me but the App Store page for the app still says Twitter. Changing it there requires approval I think.

    SheeEttin,

    If it’s like Android apps, the name in the app store and on the phone can be different.

    Here_in_Malaysia,

    That’s crazy. He wants to turn the app into an everything app and there isn’t even concrete plans in place. Wish I could be a fly on the wall in their meetings. If they even have one.

    sebinspace,

    Inb4 he throws an ego-driven temper tantrum because they won’t make an exception to a rule that has existed since the dawn of the app store specifically for his special ass.

    I read it is as “tempura tantrum”

    “What about X and a space, either before or after?” software developer Yusuf Alp suggested a potential workaround in response to Berlin’s post.

    “He already has a company called SpaceX,” chuckled Berlin.

    Gold.

    This is amazing :)

    Amilo1591,

    This could very well indicate resentment of Twitter employees, they were told to change name to X, they tried and it didn’t work, so they did nothing else.

    Perfect example of notmyjob.

    Good old minimum character validation

    gkd,

    I admittedly didn’t read the article. Is that the reason or does someone already have an app called X? Either way they can just call it like “X - Formerly known as Twitter” but he’s probably too childish to do that.

    IDatedSuccubi,

    Yeah, there’s just a minimum requirement on app names in the store
