They did a great job replacing a highly marketable icon with character, with something that feels like cliche 80’s dial-up geocities days that doesn’t make sense at all, given the terminology of everything…
In other news, you need to log in to use twitter now? lol. Wow, genius
saw this earlier from an old twitter tab, thought my browser had been hijacked with some extension. what an amateurish logo, looks like what a tiny business puts up on their wordpress when they have no designers & are only making a logo because they have to, definitely not what i’d expect from one of the biggest social media sites in the world. elon has been fixated on the whole x thing for literal decades now & that’s the best logo he came up with?

To me it looks legitimately confusingly like the xorg logo, which ironically you usually see on a Linux system only when the config to display the correct logo for something is missing or invalid.
I wonder how many (e)X-twitter users there will be after this change.
Even Mastodon’s old lingo "toot"ing sounds more trendy than "x"ing a comment.
If you remember back to your birthday cards as a kid when your loved ones put XOXO in the card… X is kisses.
So Xing is pronounced Kissing!
The X isn’t kisses. The X stand for closes eyes and the O is an open mouth, hence XO = kiss emote and XOXO is the plural
In my case this translates to “Twitter is now deleted”.
What’s next, Elon? Try to trademark the letter x?
Rebrand to XXX
Elon can ask his ex-president mate to hook him up with some porn stars for twitter
yeah, well, even the @twitter account now has the X logo.
x.com redirects to twitter.com as well.
Wonder if Businesses will replace the twitter logo in their windows as well.
At this time, many businesses are indeed probably replacing their twitter logo, with either Mastodon, threads, or nothing as a replacement

I doubt they will for a while at least. This change was so sudden that a lot of people will just not know what X is. It doesn’t look like a social media icon and a lot of people will just not be familiar with it.
It’s also horribly forgettable, even if I did use X regularly, I might just forget what the icon looked like out of context.
KILL IT
KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!
RIP AND TEAR
This shit makes Elon look even more like a Bond villain than he already is.
Except that Meta (Facebook) has already trademarked X as pertains to social media.
No it isn’t.
No… No it’s not… But you can imagine what’d be like if it was, right?
