Yeah, same here on reddit. Started happening a couple months ago, but within a few days some kind redditor posted that you could go into your settings and disallow people following you, which I promptly did.
More Twitter than Musk, but the Jack Dorsey NFT bought for $2.9 million by an Iranian cryptonut recently yielded a $280 bid when put up for auction.
lol.
I wonder what the CEO has to say about all this activity?
About as much as Dmitry Medvedev could say between 2008 and 2012 about Russian activity.
A lot of what Musk has done since he took over Twitter has been bewilderingly counterproductive, but this? Tanking the well-known brand (no matter how tarnished by his own actions) for something as generically vague and useless as “X”? That’s beyond insane.
Better than “Z” I suppose.
Not much, but I take your point.
No, Xit.
(The X is either pronounced like a “z” or a “sh”.)
And then Musk will want everyone to carve an X into their foreheads?
It’s not really that random. He’s been making noise for a while about a generic catch-all app (social media, online banking, etc) app he wants to call “X”. It’s already the name of the corporation - Twitter is the platform but he switched the company’s name a while back.
It’s hardly the first time he’s used it. His first venture was X.com, which was later rolled into Paypal.
He’s borderline obsessed with the letter for reasons I do not know and have very little interest in discovering. Then again, I imagine I’m just not taking the 20000ft view of the matter.
This is an article from May about it, so it’s hardly new. Just the latest example.

Been done.
Not in a while.
Catturds comment on that is funny.
Its a drawing of a white cat with one leg lifted and you see an x where the hole would be.
It’s nice they let catturd down from his cross just long enough to keep tweeting every once in awhile.
He ought to change the symbol to a 
emoji, reflecting the fact that he turned the Twitter brand into shit.
I wonder how far this has to go before someone can make a legal argument that Elmo has abandoned the trademark to Twitter and launch their own platform with that name.
Just sayin’.
Here you go.
Or to put it in other words;

Meanwhile, Elmo has banned the account of porn site Xvideos for “stealing” his totally original name idea.
Read it carefully, I think Linda is dog whistling that she’s secretly part of the resistance. Powered by AI.
During a recent two-part interview with Tucker Carlson, Musk said that “AI is more dangerous than, say, mismanaged aircraft design or production maintenance or bad car production” and that “it has the potential of civilization destruction.”
I can’t help but note the incestuous nature of the Tucker/Elmo/Tate circle jerk and kickbacks selective ad revenue sharing.
