Elon Musk‘s $44 billion takeover of Twitter started with a bad joke.
Many would say it’s been a bad joke ever since, with a slashed workforce struggling to keep it running, no effective contact system and a reform of verification that has rendered it worthless.
A few days ago, he modified the sign on Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters. Okay – he got someone to modify it.
Elon Musk, in a remarkable show of maturity, has removed the “w” from Twitter’s logo outside their San Francisco HQ. The company now reads as “Titter” pic.twitter.com/0i914uEygX

Apparently, it didn’t go down well with the building’s owner, so Musk – now named Harry Bōlz, apparently – found a way around the objection.
He expanded on that.
While there are always people with a cryptocurrency link in their bio, willing to laugh at anything Musk does, most reactions just ripped into him.

Should have changed the “i” to an “a” and erased the “ter” – keep it more on brand. https://t.co/MKdT2bPLkF

Great—now your company sign looks like it was vandalized by a fifth grader with a third grader’s sense of humor.
How utterly demoralizing for anyone who still works in that building. https://t.co/lMgahxpHeR

the man thought he could buy his way into being a top tier shit poster. he can’t formulate a genuinely funny tweet because he has no natural wit so he has to carry sinks and change physical signage and the twitter bird logo to doge https://t.co/YWdSPIKPtB

El0n painted out the w on the Twitter HQ sign so it says Titter as the Ultimate Humour and the internet is like “Cool. Anyway…”

I don’t see a single ad in my stream today. I don’t think his strategy is working very well. https://t.co/2tEX5C5xDl

If you’re going to pay tens of billions to be the main character of Twitter you should at least try not look desperate for attention and validation. https://t.co/2Aa87ycx3W

There’s something almost sad about a 51 year old man spending 44 billion dollars to act out like a 10 year old boy.
