Twitter is rebranding to X.

  Does this have anything to do with the cage fight/dick measuring content with Zuckerberg? I think almost everybody thought renaming Facebook to Meta was a bad idea, but maybe Musk knows something we don’t. ;-)

    > I think almost everybody thought renaming Facebook to Meta was a bad idea Do they? Why? I don't see how it did any harm, and people are way more willing to admit an association with Meta than with Facebook.

      When it first happened I thought they were trying to evade Facebook’s bad reputation for privacy and politics and made a point to keep calling it Facebook. After about a year “Meta” had the same stink of death around it as NFTs and I figured I’d be doing it no favor by calling it by its preferred name.

        I thought 'Meta' was the same shuffle Google did with 'Alphabet', some of financial / legal shenanigans.. Though speaking of while trawling the wiki page on Alphabet.... > X (formerly Google X) is an American semi-secret research and development facility and organization founded by Google in January 2010.

    > Does this have anything to do with the cage fight/dock measuring content with Zuckerberg? They're both the results of a sad man's extremely public midlife crisis, so yes.
