Twitter CEO Elon Musk is still playing with his $44 billion investment, Twitter, like a kitten with a ball of yarn.
Not only did he recently change the logo on Twitter to the Doge meme, he also changed his Twitter profile name to Harry Bōlz and painted the W in the company’s name white on the sign outside its headquarters.
“Our landlord at SF HQ says we’re legally required to keep sign as Twitter & cannot remove ‘w’, so we painted it background color. Problem solved!” Elon Musk tweeted Sunday night.
They tried to muffle our titter 🤭

This move comes after Elon Musk tried covering up the W in Twitter with some sort of covering.

He did that after creating a Twitter poll asking people if he should do it, which, of course, people did, so he did.
Unlike previous Twitter polls he’s posted…
Still waiting.

Naturally, Musk ended up getting the attention he so craves on social media as a result of his bizarre behavior. Not all of it was positive though.
You sure know how to make Ws disappear huh

“You can’t afford janitors for the bathrooms or to pay rent, but you can afford this?” someone else asked.

“It’s just sort of pathetic. Thousands of people worked to make something that millions of people do and this is like trying to draw a penis over it and running out of paint. It’s pathetic,” another person commented.

“Is this some kind of Brewster’s Millions bit where to keep his money he has to do the absolute cringiest s**t?” another Twitter user asked.
For some reason, Elon Musk thinks using the word titter is so funny.
Merriam-Webster defines titter as “to laugh in a nervous, affected, or partly suppressed manner” and “a quiet or nervous laugh.”
Hilarious, right?
Eh… oh well, I’m sure once Elon Musk gets everyone verified then things should start to run more smoothly over at Twitter.
This will be great for reducing impersonation risk
