I love how everyone still calls them Facebook. It's the simple things.

    Nothing makes me happier than deadnaming a corporation

    This highlights how deep the BS surrounding Musk has burrowed into the media scape. They invariably refer to his companies as "Elon Musks Tesla" or "Elon Musks Twitter" and so on. Where other billionaire's (for the most part) avoid the limelight and their companies stand seperate to their idiotic personal choices.

    I say “Elon Musk’s Twitter” like would I say “Joel Schumacher’s Batman” — to identify it as the worst version of the thing.

    I like how you still call it a tweet. I hope tweet, tweeting and twitter remain the lexicon for X forever.

    Twitter and tweeting where such well established and creative words, which set Twitter apart. I loved the analogy to birds. And Elon just throws all of that away...

    Just like X will never replace Twitter. That was a weird rebranding tbh. Meta at least makes some sense.

    That's because Zuckerberg is actually a smart guy. He may be a prick and an asshole and possibly not human, but you really can't deny he is smart.

    Musk is an immature idiot with money.

    Meta lost $40 billion in Metaverse. I wouldn't call that smart. Facebook rebranding kept Facebook as a sub product of Meta. Elon should have done the same with Twitter by keeping Twitter as a product under X.
