Twitter’s new X logo wasn’t made by an in-house designer. It’s from an old podcast hosted by one of the cult that Elon took from his replies.

Makes sense.

Elon undoubtedly has folders full of cool images he’s saved, so while he was still focused on the “X” idea, he rummaged around and found that one and thought, “Yeah! This is gonna be sick dude!”

Thus are decisions made by the world’s richest teenage edgelord.

Why didn’t he use the Cool S, tho?

Elon has trauma from being ousted as CEO by the board at x.com (the company that would later become PayPal).

He’s living in the past.

I didn’t know that. What a lame and petty mfer

Shh, that’s for his next venture.

It’s well known that X is the edgiest letter.

H has just as many edges 🤔🤔🤔

Yeah, but they’re not razor edges like X!

Truly the edgiest display server

Pssh, Z is the ultimate ending.

Im surprised he didnt use two Zs to make his logo.

And the ZZ’s will be yellow, so it’s easy to spot and be recognisable.

Could even flip them horizontally for extra spiciness.

Double ultimate! What can get more ultimate than that? Surely nothing.

I didn’t know Slayers X was about Elon Musk.

W has more edges, therefore I’m claiming W.com as a social media site only for the most reactionary right wing chuds.

Let me get this straight; you actually think Elon Musk, himself, combed through images he personally saved, found the X, and personally submitted it as the logo replacement.

Elon Musk. The crazy douche billionaire. You really think he sat at his computer and spent time doing that.

You don’t think, maybe, just maybe, a man with more money than God might have gotten someone else to do it? I can see him being out of touch and not caring enough about quality to say “go with that one” without checking where it came from. But I just can’t see Musk himself looking through fonts to find an “X” that he likes.

looking through fonts to find an “X” he likes

So… you didn’t read the OP.

Yes though - I really do believe that he personally chose it, or more likely already had it in mind.

And then he played some Diablo IV, then jerked off, then played some more Diablo IV.

Yes. Yes I do.

Dude doesn’t even pay for the rent on his office buildings. Did we really expect he’d pay for fonts or creative work?

He should just skip a few steps and legally change his name to XxX_MuskyBoi420_XxX

It’s not that far off from his son’s name, X Æ A-12.
