No it has probably been a plan since the beginning. He wants to build an everything app like wechat.

Most likely, both are true.

If it was the plan from the beginning then why announce it via rambling tweets late at night, before it's even announced to the employees? LOLOLOL. UNICODE X "ICON" LOLOLOL

It’s a Unicode symbol that can’t be copyrighted that was suggested in a comment reply and the CEO had to spin the rebrand after Musk tweeted for 12 hours through the night with no sleep. He has no plan. How is that not painfully obvious at this point

  Musk has owned x.com for many years. It goes back to paypal days.

    First of all by saying “the PayPal days” shows you have very little idea what you’re talking about and I’m not going to elaborate. Second of all, so what? What does that have to do with him just picking a Unicode character at 4am on a Saturday? Your argument was this logo change was planned. Okay, so he’s planning on turning it into a finance platform, and you’re saying it was “part of his master plan” to pick a logo at 4am that can’t be trademarked (because it’s just a Unicode character), such that any one can setup a login page for using the logo, to harvest X.com credentials, and they can’t do anything because they don’t own the trademark? Brilliant plan.

      I don't understand the vitriol. Why do you care? It's like half the internet has Musk derangement syndrome.

        Because you’re defending a grifter, claiming “this was all part of a plan” when it’s clearly either a manic episode or him on drugs.

        > him on drugs. Hey isn't he still majority owner of SpaceX (Jesus, there's the X again, somehow that hadn't dawned on me yet)? Doesn't a huge proportion of their income come from government contracts? Aren't there... you know, some laws about that exact thing? Oh who'm I kidding, only the peons have to sweat about their lives being ruined by getting high on the weekends. Rich people are too good for that, of course. Besides, he's probably got bullshit prescriptions for most of it.

        I believe the WSJ reported that his security clearance is being reviewed over his ketamine usage

        Absolutely. He's been open, even evangelistic about that, and anyone familiar with drugs can quickly recognize that it's a WHOLE other thing beyond your basic Joe Rogan bakemind routine. Elon has gone full Syd Barrett. It's not going to get better.

        I remember back in 2018/ 2019 in SF, when "microdosing" ketamine and/ or LSD started becoming big with tech folks. It was (and still is) always painfully and embarrassingly obvious when someone is "microdosing".
