Doing it this way instead of your suggestion seems to be garnering a lot of free press. Many companies would pay large sums of money for the reach he's gotten just for changing the logo to a letter (and it's yet to be seen whether the change is permanent, or just a temporary publicity play).

- TheOtherHobbes 3y agoFree press - most of it negative. This is textbook Management by Logo. When you're out of ideas you change the name/logo and now suddenly you're dynamic forward-looking innovative etc. Except not really. Management by Logo is like respraying a car engine because you don't know how to fix it. There's a fair-to-good chance you'll make things more broken rather than less. Musk bought Twitter (RIP...) because he wanted to use it as a propaganda outlet for his own crazy Randian/Trumpish ideals. It was never meant to continue as a free and open discussion site for humans. Musk appears to have plans to spray AI and other magic dead chickens all over everything to create a new automated kind of propaganda outlet. I suspect that won't work. Outside of his circle of immediate fans, people don't like being talked down to - especially not by bots.
