PowerWash Simulator literally blasts Elon Musk’s Twitter name change

It appears that the ‘block' is not the only Twitter (now X) feature whose future is in jeopardy. After expressing his views on how blocking users is pointless and suggesting he may take away this feature, company owner Elon Musk is targetting the headlines on link previews, as per reports. At present, a large number of news organizations share their articles on X. While sharing the articles, the platform generates a link preview that contains the image, URL, headline, and a short summary. But soon, the headline might be gone to reduce the height of the preview window.

Right after X (formerly known as Twitter) owner Elon Musk tweeted that the block feature will be deleted from the platform yesterday, it sparked outrage. Many came forward expressing their displeasure with the decision and urged Musk to reconsider his stance. Something else happened right about this time as well. X rival Bluesky suffered an outage and many users reported that the server load time was excessively high. Some reports are now suggesting that there might be a correlation between the two.

Elon Musk made a shocking comment on X (formerly known as Twitter) on Friday when he said that ‘block' as a feature will be deleted on the platform. That means users will not be able to block any other user on the platform, no matter if they spam or troll. The billionaire is known for his dislike of general social networking features, and he has repeatedly expressed his feelings about it. However, getting rid of the blocking feature might not be that easy, even for the owner of one of the largest social media platforms.

The optimal time to have abandoned the idea of a cage match between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg would have been the very moment it was first suggested. The second best time is right now.

While Twitter owner Elon Musk is still attracting most of the company-related headlines, CEO Linda Yaccarino insists that she has autonomy to run the company, now known as X.

In an arresting move that looks like the rest of the signature moves by billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, iconic Twitter artifacts have been put on the block. Musk is set to auction off an array of intriguing items from Twitter, just weeks after the platform's transformation into "X." This unique auction, entitled "Twitter Rebranding: Online Auction Featuring Memorabilia, Art, Office Assets & More!" is slated to showcase an astounding 584 lots of captivating treasures, including not just the expected office assets, but also coffee tables, remarkable bird cages, and art that once went viral.

Larry The Bird is dead! Billionaire Elon Musk has ensured that by ruthlessly replacing it with the current X logo. However, even as millions of Twitter users (X), mourn its passing, World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), is has used the opportunity in a brilliant way to promote its own agenda - wildlife conservation. WWF Germany has compared the passing of the Twitter bird logo with that of the deaths of countless millions of species on earth due to the changes in the environment wrought by humanity. In reality, the extinction of species that is currently going on at a furious pace has been likened and ccompared to the one that happened during and in the aftermath of the asteroid strike 65 million years ago that caused the demise of the dinosaurs.

After introducing a feature to hide the Blue tick, X CEO Elon Musk has come up with a Live video feature.

X (formerly known as Twitter) has been working hard to make its premium subscription X Blue appear more alluring to boost the subscriber count. Recently, it added features such as unlimited DMs, potential participation in the platform's ad revenue sharing, and access to XPro (TweetDeck). Now, adding to the already long list of benefits, owner Elon Musk announced on Thursday that verified users will also be able to download videos on the microblogging platform. However, there are some restrictions to this feature, which have been likely added to give creators more power.

X owner Elon Musk wrote a long post urging users to support the creators on its social media platform by subscribing to them. The microblogging platform recently added a new feature to support content creators where users can subscribe to an account for bonus content, a ‘subscribed' badge, and even exclusive Spaces interactions. In the post, Musk said that the company has decided not to take any commission from the revenue generated through subscriptions to creators for the first 12 months and thereafter till a $100K payout has been reached. After that, it will only take 10 percent. The billionaire also said that he will speak with Apple CEO Tim Cook about the App Store fee structure to see if it can be adjusted to maximize creator revenue.

Twitter's rebranding exercise is complete and the platform is now known as X. But owner Elon Musk is not done yet. After renaming the social media platform, he is now renaming all the associated assets of the platform as well. Twitter Blue has already become Blue, and there were some reports that tweets can be renamed as ‘posts' after some users briefly saw the name change on the platform on Monday. Now, the latest victim of the renaming exercise is TweetDeck, the dashboard application for managing multiple accounts of the microblogging site. TweetDeck is going to be renamed to XPro, and the new branding has begun appearing in some places, including the top of the landing page.

X's (formerly known as Twitter) rebranding celebrations were cut short after just a week when the giant X logo atop the company's headquarters in San Francisco was seen being removed. The logo, which was erected rapidly after the new brand name and the logo was announced by company owner Elon Musk, had become an eyesore for many local residents and officials who filed complaints with the city, as per a report. With the logo being removed, it is not known whether it will be replaced with a different one or not.
