Just another bit of genius from Elon Musk. He's giving pot smokers a bad reputation.
Elon Musk has revealed a new logo for Twitter, choosing a “minimalist art deco” X as part of a rebrand of the platform.
The Twitter owner indicated that the design would be altered, tweeting that it “probably changes later, certainly will be refined”. Twitter’s CEO, Linda Yaccarino, confirmed the choice on Monday by tweeting the design and writing: “X is here! Let’s do this.”

He could have named her something cool like Moon Unit or Dwezel.

Moon Unit's song would probably have to be edited today, because of the way she portrayed her English teacher. So maybe Moon Unit isn't so cool.

He’s also a nutball…
He's also a genius. I just wish those naming their kids with such outre monikers would consider the kids' social future; they're the ones who have to live with it.

Naming your kid something nobody else understands combined with everything he’s done with Twitter and building trash cars that have flaky serviceability with Tesla does not make him a genius. It does make him unstable and morally bankrupt however.

Me personally, you shouldn't be able to trademark a letter or common word.
Did I just get in trouble for using the word word?. See what I'm talking about?

Several sources list Musk's IQ as 150-155. Anything over 140 is considered genius level.
Tesla is valued at $838.61 billion. SpaceX is valued $150 billion in latest insider share offer. That kind of money doesn't usually follow unstable and morally bankrupt individuals.

You realize that Tesla for a very long time was a company with massive investment going in and virtually no profit coming out right?
Are you suggesting the guy is simply so smart that the rest of us are too stupid to get the name he gave his kid but that it’s actually genius?
Oh and by the way… IQ doesn’t mean anything. It’s a bullshit metric that doesn’t actually quantify someone’s intelligence or lack thereof.
I once, on a really off day, tried a test… I got… 78. It’s probably closer to 110 or so.

I just took a random online IQ test. Says mine is 143 and that I'm "Extremely brilliant."

Comments like this just make you look foolish. Why would someone who personally had Covid and watched his mom get very sick from it, including being on an oxygen tank for over 2 months, believe that Covid is a hoax? I've never once said it was a hoax. What I have been is highly critical of how the government reacted to Covid.
