    …also started blocking the ‘x.com’ website, mistaking it for adult content.

    It’s not a mistake, twitter is no place for children. Or anyone who can think for themselves.

    Twitter lost all the engineers that realized you could just call it “X app” and get apple to agree to the change

      I honestly wouldn’t be remotely surprised if someone proposed this solution and Elon just threw a tantrum and is now demanding that Apple changes their rules for him because he wants it to just be X

      Don’t forget, this whole rebranding is basically just the culmination of a decades long tantrum about PayPal not letting him ruin their brand lol

      Dumb on Elon. This is clearly a decision he made the Sunday afternoon before he had it rolled out. He’d teased it a long time ago, and anyone familiar with his obession with the letter X would have seen it coming, but this implementation clearly demonstrates he didn’t ask anyone to look into what would be involved with the rebrand. He just made them do it
