    Have you ever rebranded a billion dollar company that was shedding value and users into a one letter symbol? There’s a reason Elon is the bravest, smartest, most beautiful, wisest man I will ever love and you are someone whose mild criticisms of Elon cause me to crumble as I attempt to be strong for Him.

    Elon has wanted to name everything he has ever created, “X”, including his last child. No idea why he’s so obsessed with that letter.

    So apparently Meta owns the X trademark for social networking, so that’s hilarious if true.

    Could've housed every unhoused person in the country for the money he's lost in his inane running of the company now known as X* (until a lawsuit or bankruptcy changes the name back to Twitter).
    Where we gonna go?

    Absolutely disgusting what he's done to his kid. Elon is not a good human being.

    Today they broke the search mechanism. Until yesterday, you could combine terms with "OR" or "AND" but now the search recognizes those keywords as actual search terms. If you search for "Reds AND trade", you only get posts that include all 3 words. Previously, you'd have gotten every post that included just "Reds" and "trade" while excluding "AND".

    My guess is this isn't intentional. Instead, it's a side effect of losing that institutional knowledge that went out the door when he fired all those people right after buying the platform.

    You’re just not seeing the big picture. After he trademarks the words “and” & “or” the money will start rolling in and X will become even bigger than Y! even though Y! came before X.

    At least X doesn’t spontaneously burst in to flames like most of Elon’s other ventures.

    Gosh, I get the feeling this thread has some political undertones.
