Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So how’s it going?
I’m just here reading about how Elon Musk decided on a whim that Twitter will be rebranded to X.

This will definitely end well.
I see a lot of posts about how the death ofTwitter was Musk’s goal all along but I think people are giving him far too much credit.
There is another post floating around about how at his other companies there are a whole team of people whose job it is to manage Musk himself so he doesn’t do stupid things for attention and honestly, that seems like a far more realistic scenario. He should take them with him wherever he goes because now we can all see what an unsupervised overpaid manchild is capable of.
Yeah if he wanted to destroy twitter, I expect he could have done a decent job for less than tens of billions this cost him.
Also surely he would know that destroying twitter would just lead to a competitor filling that market gap.
He’s getting very cringeworthy, he just wants to be found funny and cool. But he comes off like an old guy trying to fit in with the kids. I’m not sure how much input he had in it, but calling the Tesla’s Models S, 3, X, Y should tell you everything about his type of humour. I’m glad he doesn’t have as much input in running SpaceX.
I never even clicked to the Tesla names until now.

Yeah it seems crazy. Twitter has got to be one of the worlds most recognisable brands. Even for people who never use it (like me) it’s hard to find a breaking news media article that isn’t quoting twitter.
Does this guy have a plan or is he just making it up as he goes along?
