Not to mention it’s still on twitter.com, and changing it to another domain is a borderline impossible amount of work to do for any social media site that size.
I’m waiting for Elon to get rid of the twitter.com domain and forgetting to renew it, and someone swooping in and getting it. Because that’s something that would totally happen with his track record.
I just read an article saying Musk has bought xvideos.com. It didn’t say, but I’m guessing he means to turn it into something like YouTube. If so, that’s hilariously misguided.
The man is a joke. As a designer who has done a fair amount of branding work, this is the dumbest rebranding attempt I’ve ever seen. I’ve dealt with some stubbornly clueless clients who had to be talked out of driving their brand off a cliff, but this is next level.

That would be hilarious! Even better if it redirected to a Lemmy instance.
There’s a 30 day grace period on renewals before someone else can pick them up. I doubt even Elon is that dumb.
Adding to my TODO list. Thanks for the great idea! I may own Twitter soon, which means I’ll be filthy rich. Noice!

Redirecting twitter.com to another domain is not an impossible amount of work. What takes time is changing every references to the old domain name.
