    What was Musk’s logic? Was there any? It’s like he ruined the reputation of Twitter and decided to try a restart under a new name but it’s predictably failing.

      The perfect plan

      step 1: spend billions buying an extremely recognizable brand
      step 2: rebrand it

      I actually can’t believe he is going forward with this. Twitter achieved the goal of becoming a verb, “tweeting”. Companies kill for that, and he’s just throwing it away? all the mindshare and recognition? for what?

        Plus how do you even make a new verb? Doesn’t even work in the slightest. “Oh hey did you see my recent X?” … “oh man the other day Steph X’d something hilarious “ …. Lol nope doesn’t work.

          wait…that doesn’t work…

          I’m going to hit the x to delete…no.

          x to exit?

      I’m convinced that Musk and Huffman are hanging out smoking pot and taking dmt, stroking each other till orgasm whispering in each other’s ear how great their plans are.
