He bought the customer base

Basically Elon wants to clone WeChat, Chinas all in one app. He could have started from scratch and had an uphill battle with Twitter as the largest competing company or do this instead.

His PR was already getting shitty before buying Twitter, so he pivoted with his rich boy money like always.

He purchased it , destroying it as a competitor for his X website. He gave X recognition immediately as a platform, and hoping that he retains the partial user base of Twitter as the initial backbone for the app he wanted to build in the first place.

Because that’s what fascists do, delete competition

He still has the user base. But not for long, one might say.

I know you know, but I have to point out: their public relations is literally a poop emoji. Which is possibly the most juvenile proof imaginable for the failure of Elmo's delusions of adequacy. He just has a lot of money.

For twitter feed just keep it simple: X’cretion pile

I just used it to read, but I deleted a few weeks ago, don't miss it.

Why do people enjoy things i dont enjoy?

Honestly, there's a nice community of people advocating for a better city in my area, and I enjoy the "circlejerk" of agreeing with them and see their stuff. And want it or not, lots of officials and cities still have accounts there. It's easy to "Xcrete" about a shitty bike path to your local neighborhood mayor and include the right people to make it a bit more noticeable.

It will die quicker if we call it X. Its just such an impractical name.

Twitter, Facebook, Blackwater.

Ain't playing these games.

I still like "Birdsite", been using that on Mastodon for years evdn tho I have no clue why everyone started doing so

It’s like how Anakin became Darth Vader.

Twitter fell to the Musk Side. Twitter may be inside, somewhere.

But the instant X started executing order 66, the line was crossed.

Xitter is pronounced Shitter, like the Chinese president.

I maintain ignoring the change annoys Musky the most, but say Xitter out loud.

We've finally come full circle from the beginning of Twitter until now.

Xhitler?

Changing twitter to a black background with an X is about the most reactive, 13 year old thing a 52 year old billionaire could do.

This is Firefish, not Twitter.
