‘Those rump members left on Musk’s comic book X-world should probably start thinking about alternatives' via IrishTimesBiz
On the “going concern” side, TwitterX continues to be the strangest show in the social media town. Musk once loved the platform, or if not the platform, at least the ability to incessantly use it to express odd business and personal views and — in what is admittedly a crowded field — the most boring sense of humour in techdom.
Rebranding to something that sounds like the forlorn offspring of a porn hub and a discussion site for gaming platform enthusiasts immediately knocked off an estimated $4 to $20 million of brand value, depending on various brand experts Bloomberg spoke to during the week.

Back in April, as crypto values were tanking due to company failures and indictments of some people involved with various crypto companies, Musk projected Dogecoin’s Shiba Inu dog logo on the side of Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters, prompting the coin’s market value to rise by $4 billion. Yep.
