    Does this mean I won't be able to use the letter 'x' anymore because a multi-billion dollar company has trademarked it:

    • Two people fighting will now be boing.
    • When I want to bake some bread I will mi the ingredients together.
    • When I want to leave a building I will eit it.
    • I will now look up to the stars at night to see the magnificent epance of the Milkyway galay.

    Elon is seriously speed running proving to hoggest of the hogs that rich people are not special or more intelligent. I absolutely refuse to believe even the reply guys with Musk’s limp dick perpetually stuffed in their various orifices can think changing a “successful” (at least well known) 20 year old company’s branding and name. Anyone even pretending to support this is absolutely coping. My brain cannot fathom the stupidity required to believe otherwise.

    The fact that this gets almost 500 upvotes makes me doubt the Reddit exodus, as this would mean most of us around here are Unix/Linux users.
