piskertariot @lemmy.world This was my exact feeling.
Then I thought "I remember when news was easy and available to search on Twitter"
And then the answer was here. So thank you.

Random Dent @lemmy.ml I bet the people who work at SpaceX and Tesla are having a really nice year, just getting on with their work unbothered while Musk is focusing all of his dumb energy on Twitter.

june @lemmy.world Apparently they are still referring to it as Twitter in the update notes, and can’t change the name to X in iOS because Apple has a 2 character minimum for app names.

Plus the fact that X is already trademarked in many countries.
All of which they’d know if their dumbass CEO — er, I mean their CTO who definitely isn’t running the company because they have a CEO who is a different person — had bothered to look into it.

On iOS I only just yesterday finally got a suggested app update so the icon could change. It’s been the bird still all week. Not exactly prepared, were they.

reddig33 @lemmy.world Interesting that Musk has money for this, but somehow can’t pay any of twitter’s other bills.

I don't know that he has money for this. It appears to be fashioned out of plastic coat hangers they had lying around.

Elon’s “Move fast, break stuff” philosophy includes municipal codes.

I don’t get why he’s so allergic to getting permits.

That would imply an authority higher than Elon that he must submit to, and that just isn't possible.

He's a spoiled, self-congratulatory, masturbatory narcissist who has never experienced even basic levels of hardship.

OK but this is pretty ridiculous too
