So, #Twitter will become 'X'.As edgy and as cool as a 12 year old using their $900 Parker fountain pen to scribble an anarchy symbol on their Latin textbook in the library of their exclusive private school.

"We've made 'Coca Cola' a household name. Everyone on the planet knows it. How do we best protect & build on such a brand identity?"Elon: "Change the company name to 'Spud,' insult consumers of fizzy drinks, stop making drinks altogether, then sell horseshoes for hamsters"

"We've made 'Apple' a household name. Everyone on the planet knows it. How do we best protect & build on such a brand identity?"Elon: "Change the name to 'Shit Carrots,' launch an ad campaign with the slogan 'Shit Carrots are better than tech,' stop developing tech, then sell shit carrots instead"

@Richard_Littler X is appropriate symbolically on a number of levels. I'm sure what Musk has in mind is to put his mark on Twitter like a dog marking his territory on every fire hydrant.It's Musk's mark, which historically has been the symbol put on paper by every illiterate that was unable to sign his name.And to X something out is to get rid of it.
