Does this mean I won't be able to use the letter 'x' anymore because a multi-billion dollar company has trademarked it:

  • Two people fighting will now be boing.
  • When I want to bake some bread I will mi the ingredients together.
  • When I want to leave a building I will eit it.
  • I will now look up to the stars at night to see the magnificent epance of the Milkyway galay.

Apparently the X used by Twi-- er, X Corp, is from a font that X may not actually have the actual license to use.

Elon doesn't pay his hosting bills or rent, you think he's gonna care about something as inane as a license fee?

Of course not. Licenses are for the poors. The creator of the font will benefit from the exposure of being the logo.

Funnily enough my friends were talking about this as well. Didn't know until afterwards.

Elon is seriously speed running proving to hoggest of the hogs that rich people are not special or more intelligent. I absolutely refuse to believe even the reply guys with Musk’s limp dick perpetually stuffed in their various orifices can think changing a “successful” (at least well known) 20 year old company’s branding and name. Anyone even pretending to support this is absolutely coping. My brain cannot fathom the stupidity required to believe otherwise.

Yea that’s about as well as Elon’s attempts at SEO will go hahahhaha

Oh, good shout. I have a couple computers with X11 environments on them, and never saw the logo!

What's the top image, is it some Microsoft x-windowing system?

It's Space Karen's new name, and logo, for Twitter.

Unbelievable… I bet he’s trying to make a conglomeration like Jeff Bezos and Amazon. Space Karen is a good way to put it.

Nope, totally out of the loop on this one... Is he renaming Twitter?

1

Yup, looks like it. New logo, new name (in the works), new url. I think he's been telling people to use x.com, though it just redirects to twitter.com for now. My app doesn't look any different yet, but the desktop site seems to have all the logos switched.

The fact that this gets almost 500 upvotes makes me doubt the Reddit exodus, as this would mean most of us around here are Unix/Linux users.

If it makes you feel any better, I thought it was porn.

I guess his kid has to be called KS ÆA-12 now, for legal reasons

See how confusing it's going to be. Thanks, Elon Musk, thanks for nothing you jerk!
