BBC news just did a whole piece about this cage fight for some reason and Huw's expression pretty much summed it up
Mental!!! That's the app finished if this is how it's going to work.
I saw some reports saying he is gonna trademark it but I doubt he will be able to as it is a preexisting Unicode character that is used by many. Worse still, someone managed to find out that Microsoft trademarked the right to use X on chat/media sites way back in 2000 so he will probably have to come up with something else.Killing off the Twitter brand and replacing is with āXā is a stupid, stupid even by his lowly standards.

That's the reason you employ people who are talented in their field eg marketing.He's a strange bloke isn't he. His mind is fascinating. No doubting he's a brilliant business mind, but he makes some odd decisions and voices opinions that are a bit out there. But apparently he's autistic so I guess he's bound to behave in ways we'll never truly understand.
Heās not doing mad tit though. Or maybe it is a bit mad and it certainly comes across as random but thereās a strategy behind it. Heās killing Twitter because itās a completely unworkable business model. He knows it will never turn a profit and however āmuch lovedā it is, heās not going to run it as a hobby so that millions of people can take daily potshots at each other.That's the reason you employ people who are talented in their field eg marketing.
He's like a Roman Emperor who wakes up and decides to do mad sht because he's rich and he can.

I've seen some stories that while there are weird names on the birth certificates, they use normal ones for them. I hope it's true as the son was bad enough but their daughter has now seemingly had her name changed from Exa Dark SiderƦl to Y or just ?.Rather than naming his child after a mathematical formula he should have kept things simple and called the child Please relieve me of my dinner money, bigger boys. Overall outcome is same for the poor kid.
