Rebranding one of the worlds most recognisable brands is a bad idea.
Well that’s the thing, he doesn’t want to be Twitter, he doesn’t want anything to even do with that brand name. So him rebranding is exactly a thing someone that got forced into buying it would probably do just to put distance between him and that original fiasco
I’ve heard this before, but I don't know where this comes from. Why was he forced to buy Twitter?
He just did to fuck with the stock price like he is known to do but he went too far with the stunt and when he tried to back out he legally wasn't allowed to; he was contractually obligated to buy it at the inflated price he claimed it was worth.
