Musk is trying to sue the law firm that the previous owners used to force him to honour his offer to buy Twitter.

I'm sure that is going to go well.

LegalEagle has a video about it.

My wife loved Suits... maybe she'd like the live stream of this when it goes to court...

Twitter are also attempting to sue Senator Elizabeth Warren, for carrying out her legislative duties and investigating them.

Well, to subpoena her, anyway.

Good luck with that.

Musk wants to turn it into the X Social Media Company .
He's doing a very good job of it.

The one in an industrial unit behind the railway station?

Lol. Also, I see the Ukrainians are already having fun with it.



If you're wondering what the word is, well, it featured in the famous message from the Snake Island Defenders to Moskva.

I've only just stopping calling Opal Fruits Opal Fruits. My focus for the next decade is on not calling Marathons Marathons. I haven't time to stop calling Twitter Twitter.

And of course there was already the X Windows system.

With a very familiar looking logo.

If Microsoft and Meta both have an existing registration for X, surely it's going to be hard to deny Musk his kiss (/vote)?

But I figure he could always add a space in front of the logo, " X" because he has that one already.

Maybe they should change the name of tweets to Xposés

But.. if he decides to do another right turn, would he have to rebrand as Y?

Looks like Meta paid Microsoft for their particular usage

It's really rather tragic. All these people seeing their work destroyed. I feel pity for everyone involved who isn't Musk.

I know this is supposed to be Weighty Matters but this is also good:

If other media companies thought about brand equity the way Elon Musk thinks about Twitter’s (er, X’s)

MailOnline quoting that well known ex-Tory MP, Sir Michael Take...

Looks like they've edited it online now. It's a good follow up to their Damson Idris/Idris Elba familial mix up.

Twitter Blue, which Elon Musk is currently rebranding to X Blue, now includes the option to hide the notorious blue checkmark. Twitter Blue subscribers recently started noticing the “hide your blue checkmark” option on the web and in mobile apps, offering the ability to hide that they’re paying for Twitter

Perhaps they should supply the checkmark in a brown paper bag.
