Musk wants to rebrand Twitter as "X", and my first thought is "Y?".

@neil I think it should be RRRR.

Pronounced 'arse'.

@neil

Because he's trying to recapture his youth.

"X.com was an online bank co-founded by Elon Musk, Harris Fricker, Christopher Payne, and Ed Ho in 1999 in Palo Alto, California. In 2000, X.com merged with competitor Confinity Inc., a software company also based in Palo Alto. Elon Musk was attracted to Confinity because of its easy payment system. The merged company changed its name to PayPal"

@alienghic @neil Nothing is original with that guy. There was an X-COM before (1994, Microprose)… 😁

(Note that the original games where names X-COM, not XCOM.)

@neil Perhaps they should bite the bullet and rebrand as Shitter?

@neil Probably because there are now so many X-Twitter users.

@neil because a swastika would be too on the nose?
