And the award for the worst rebranding decision goes to Elon.

Still waiting for my friends to make the switch so I can delete this shite.

Or I might just delete it anyway and maybe they'll take notice and move. ๐Ÿ˜‚

You can also ask yourself why you feel you should use Twitter because your friends are using it?

Not trying to offend or start shit, it's a genuine question.
