What’s funny is that it’s also probably an internal security risk as well. I mean who knows, there’s probably at least one of their internal servers that still accepts credentials or keys from the dead domain. Not to mention their emails probably aren’t transferred.
All of that could be fixed but you’d have to, ya know, not fire your programmers.

Honestly, I’d actually love to see some rando grab the domain and rebuild the site as it was before Musk, or turn it into a Mastodon instance. Not because I enjoyed pre-musk Twitter, but purely because it would piss Musk off to have to compete.

Nah, just grab the domain and redirect it to X. Watch him explode.
The only way he could ruin porn sites was if the site’s content were replaced with only videos of Elon gyrating his hips to Eye of the Tiger, while wearing one of those Borat bathing suits, never breaking eye contact with the camera.

When the business fails and is eventually sold again, it will be changed back to Twitter.
Then again perhaps he won’t ever sell it unless he goes completely broke. Just prolonging the damage he does to society as long as he possibly can.

If he's spent $44 Billion on it, you can rest assure he's not letting it go that easily unless he sees more than half of that come back from a buyer. And the only way he'll see that money is if Apple or Microsoft will bother with it, which they won't.

Imagine spending 40 billion dollars on one of the most recognizable brands in history, so deeply embedded in the public consciousness that any other company would throw virgins into a volcano for a chance at that level of recognition, just to replace all of that branding with your own little name that everyone has been telling you sounds stupid for the last 25 years

Yes, because that’s what happens when a narcissist has way too much money. A person capable of self-reflection would realize that it’s much easier and safer to trust people around you that know more about their respective areas of expertise. That’s what good leaders do, they delegate. Musk is incapable of that. The companies he owns are not yet bankrupt despite, not because, of him.

Remember that “brand X” is the lesser brand that advertising uses when they can’t directly name their competitors. Brand X is inherently the cheap crap no name brand.

I don’t think they sell those domains
Man I never wanted a cyberdisk to show up more than I do right now
We’ll definitely start calling it X now, definitely.
We should!
Stop humouring the assholes that are still on that bigoted network.
Every time someone calls it twitter, don’t give them the satisfaction of disassociating themselves from Musky’s X.
Oh so you’re an X’er. You like to Xeet a lot eh?
This is pretty funny actually, I’ll start doing this 😅
It’s called xitter, and it’s full of xit(s).
Let’s call people who grow up with X the “X gen”.
I’m personally a fan of his new site for twitter media: xvideos.
And the one dedicated to cute animal photos, xhamster.
And the one formerly known as twitterntwittertwitter. It’s a bit of a stretch so tell me if you got it.
Yes
You guys are joking but Elon is going to ruin porn sites next. Let’s see who has the last laugh then.
The only way he could ruin porn sites was if the site’s content were replaced with only videos of Elon gyrating his hips to Eye of the Tiger, while wearing one of those Borat bathing suits, never breaking eye contact with the camera.

Twitter (now “X”)
Yes, I mean how many companies get their brand turned into a verb?
It’s like someone buying Kleenex and going “Nope, it’s called K now.”
Elon: “Need some Ks, mate”
At least K has something to do with Kleenex. It’s more like buying Coca-Cola and changing it to J
IMHO it was more about preventing more social justice movements akin to #metoo
