Such a genuinely shit name.

I’m not even one of the rabid Musk haters, but it’s just an absolutely dreadful name that a 10 year old thinks is cool…

[-] TheHangedMan@feddit.uk 82 points 1 year ago

I fully expect people to still be calling it twitter for a long time.

[-] notapantsday@feddit.de 29 points 1 year ago

That's because it's an established brand with a huge value to it. Everyone knows twitter. Only an idiot would throw that away.

Musk has been on a roll of bad decisions since he first offered to buy Twitter lmao

[-] Decimit@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

He was making terrible decisions way before that.

[-] G_Wash1776@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Yes but Twitter is a 44 billion dollar mistake

[-] Decimit@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

You make a very good and very expensive point.

I call meta still facebook. fuck this rebranding bullshit to disssociate with shittyness

Meta/Facebook and Google/Alphabet are very different from Twitter/X. The first two created parent companies under which their large brand names still exist, but are now managed along with their other properties (Instagram, ~~Snapchat~~, Waymo, Deepmind, etc.) Musk, meanwhile, is trying to completely burn down the Twitter brand for some incomprehensible reason.

Snapchat isn't owned by meta btw

[-] Thorny_Thicket@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 year ago

Yeah just like Meta will allways be Facebook for me

[-] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 48 points 1 year ago

I bet you all next he will rebrand some of his other companies as ‘S’ (SpaceX?) and ‘E’ (??) just to be CEO of SEX. This man is so extremely childish.

He already has done it for Tesla models: S, 3, X, Y
