      IMO the Twitter name and logo together are brilliant. I guess most languages have sayings about birds singing, as a way to receive information. Basically what Twitter is supposed to be all about. The ONE thing that 100% isn’t wrong about Twitter, is the logo and name. Killing that makes no sense.

      Musk may think he can fix the image problems he created with a campaign and a new logo. But he can’t because the image problems are all about the things Musk has done, and have very little to do with what Twitter used to be. A new name will only enforce the belief that what Twitter used to be has gone, and will most probably accelerate the downward spiral.

      Maybe Musk likes the letter X for the meaning, because his exes were all better than the next?

        Musk thinks the “image problem” is any credibility that’s left over from before he was hired to destroy it. This is all intentional. Anyone denying that at this point is just naive.

        But, X. X is, like, the coolest letter of the alphabet! X-Men, Malcolm X …even your username ends in an X! What do you have to say to that?
