Musk rushes out new Twitter logo—it’s just an X that someone tweeted at him
X logo looks like a Unicode symbol and the lower-case x from a Monotype font.
Literally a Unicode character:
You think u1d54f.com is available?
U+1D54F
His next kids name.
Lmao
At this point I'm starting to think that Musk has some weird kink where he gets off on people thinking he's a complete idiot. I can't imagine how somebody can make so many bad decisions in a row. I just imagine him locked in his office just getting his jollies from the collective internet making fun of him.
He's just lived so long surrounded by fawning yes-men that he thinks his own shit don't stink.
He is just very unaware.
He likes attention and look what he is getting plenty of with this change.
Rebranding isn’t a bad idea tbf, but rebranding to x? Man call it xXgiga420socialmediaXx if you really want to be edgy and annoying. A more fair rebrand without jabs would probably be Bell or something since his other company Tesla is named after obviously the scientist
Rebranding Twitter is a terrible idea. The whole branding is so embedded in culture as both a thing and a verb that the whole company's value is the brand.
Some rebranding is a good idea, but this one is terrible.
This is coming from someone who always disliked Twitter, but can acknowledge it was successful for what it intended to be.
They did what at him? I think the headline meant to say, "Musk rushes out new X logo--it's just an X that someone Xed at him."
It's just a blackboard bold letter from mathematical typography. Variables written in blackboard bold are often used to stand for sets, spaces, etc. — e.g. ℤ for the set of integers or ℚ for the set of rational numbers.
In addition to it just being a unicode char, as others have said, it's also close enough the X.org logo that I'm guessing lawyers are already racking up billable hours.
You’re joking right?
An entirely volunteer run, open-source project scraping by on donations is going to have billable lawyers ready to go up against Twitter for this?
I doubt X.org is going to initiate a legal battle with twitter… or has the money to do so
That domain must have been expensive
It's $mathbb{X}$ or unicode 𝕏 (U+1D54F)
Maybe he really likes metric spaces??
x.org came first
I's all too embarrassing
Musk probably saved $500k by getting some sucker on the internet to give him a logo for free.
The unicode consortium?
I thought this was just one of his drug induced sessions where he goes on Twitter and shit posts. But here we are!
Comedown might’ve not started yet :)
It's just a spot on logo... Twitter is eX...
Excommunicado?
