Elon Musk tweeted on his official account on Sunday that Twitter would be changing its logo to an “X” and that all the birds will be disappearing from the platform.
The problem is likely that his view of the Internet is highly warped. Between managing so many companies, meeting IRL people, and traveling around, he may have barely any time to learn about what’s out there outside of the most popular platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and whatever someone spins to him during that one party or two.
So he looked into the one thing he knew about that was irking him, saw it had a silly low price, and jumped on the chance of taking control… without realizing it was like jumping onto a water balloon in a swimming pool: even if you manage to catch it, even if you pop it, there is still a pool of water surrounding you.
