Say goodbye to all the birds. Every single one.
has already discovered something troubling about our avian friends in its efforts to"understand reality".
True to his word, the bird is gone. At the time of writing, however, the verification service is still called"Twitter Blue", you still"Retweet" and"Quote Tweet" on the platform, and the button to post is still called a"Tweet". I dread to think of what those verbs—the common use of which is a sign of success for any business, in the realm of 'I'll just google that'—will be replaced by. X-ting? Re-exes? Quote Xes? None of these are forming properly in my brain or my mouth, and I think Mr. Musk might have picked the most difficult letter in the alphabet to portmanteau.
And then there's the logo itself. It's just a unicode X. I don't mean to doubt the infinite genius of a man who challenges other billionaires to cage matches, but it's not exactly eye-catching, blending into the rest of the user interface like my page failed to properly load. Still, maybe X is the future—I for one can't wait for the"everything app's" eventual dating component to link me up to an eX partner. Whether X is going to be able to give everything to you remains to be seen, however, as sites like Bluesky and Threads rush in to fill the gap in the market, one Musk has somehow created after buying an app with a near-monopoly in it.Sign up to get the best content of the week, and great gaming deals, as picked by the editors.
