Twitter will lose bird logo in latest brand overhaul, Elon Musk saysThe billionaire suggested replacing the blue bird with an ‘X’ - Washington Post todayDo you have a suggestion for a symbol to offer Elon? A vulture instead of a blue bird? An "X" adjusted to represent a swastika? The mouth of a leech?

Possibly a single bird feather, and bird droppings, as the new symbol of Twitter--for the bird has flown

A flesh eating bacteria as the symbol for Twitter? A shattered brain?

@JohnShirley2023 This is also a strong contender that somebody replied to him with.

@JohnShirley2023 He bought it with the intention of killing it. Why? Why would a person do that? I just don't get it

@Mary625 @JohnShirley2023 He bought it to create the American version of WeChat.Now he has a propaganda weapon for all autocratic regimes and politicians.With a side dish of white supremacy. Far too many are obsessed with his supposed overpaying for Twitter.His share was $17 billion.Just last week he lost $20 billion of his net worth in a day.

@staidwinnow @Mary625 I think a lot of Musk's motivation for buying it was about trying to control the international conversation about him and Tesla etc, despite his lie about making it uncensored-he censors critics. And maybe he wanted twitter to push for deregulation, lower taxes...conservative stuff that puts money in his pockets...thinking he'd remonetize it somehow...

@JohnShirley2023 I think you're both right. I hate to admit I didn't think about his having so much of so many governments under his control. I'm glad@staidwinnow brought it to my attention. I only thought about the journalists

@Mary625 @JohnShirley2023 @staidwinnow Yes and no... dude can be bribed and therefore controlled easily (and cheaply depending on the cost to put down an uprising)... he doesn't own them; they own him 🤑

@Aviva_Gary @JohnShirley2023 @staidwinnow Hmmm. The only one I think that would be true of, for musk, is the Saudis

@Mary625 @JohnShirley2023 @staidwinnow Ah but think about it... many of the "leaders" of the world are rich (they stole from their countries/people) and could easily bribe, not to mention other corps or think tanks.If someone is malleable in one area they are in all.

@staidwinnow @Aviva_Gary @Mary625 I'm still thinking that Musk will eventually sell Twitter to TikTok.
