Scoring Winger
I'm not sure Musk was that notorious when the show was written, certainly not as a software company ceo. I think Hooli and Gavin were just a general mix of Silicon Valley stereotypes.

There is a variety of people represented in Gavin, from Jobs to Gates to The Google boys to Steve Balmer. Maybe Musk, but he hadn't gone nuts at that point.

This is f’ng stupid….
Elon Musk has announced the new terminology for X (formerly known as Twitter):
Twitter ➡️ X
Tweets ➡️ Xs
Re-Tweets ➡️ ReXs
DMs ➡️ dXM
Encrypted DM ➡️ edXM
Reply ➡️ rX
Quote Tweet ➡️ QX
To summarize new terminology:
X, Xs, ReXs, dXM, edXM, rX, & QX
He’s either trying to destroy a $44-billion asset or he’s the stupidest guy around.

Is this actually real? What's the original source for this?

It doesn't matter, twitter and tweet are an brand, known and understood around the world, companies pray for that kind of brand recognition, pay millions and usually fail to create it, on top of that there is nothing wrong with twitter, it doesnt translate to some horrible anal sex act in Greek or some such issue, it works fine, he is throwing away all of that on a whim to rebrand to a symbol indelibly associated with porn and crap action movies/rappers, twitter will not become X, it will still be called twitter by everyone, he is just throwing away more of its advantage, handing more advantage to zuckerberg, the man is even dumber than we thought

He's still living in the 90's were everything was eXtreme, and he probably had a closet full of No Fear T-shirts.

Elons thinks he’s cosplaying as Triple H circa 1999. What a ####ing tool.

This clearly has always been the plan for musk and his investors. By a mainstream platform and the manipulate it. It’s just like media barons of old. It’s never had to make money.
It doesn’t explain why this wasn’t done subtlety without destroying the brand.

What a waste of time. My 90 year old grandmother knows what twitter is. They're just throwing that all away.
