That Elon Musk had primarily purchased Twitter as an effort to launch his own “everything app” was widely known since his ownership began. But now he has made the key step toward that shift: ditching Twitter’s famous blue bird logo to replace it with an X. That’s all, folks! Hope you enjoyed the ride and didn’t waste too much of your time!
Mary Beard ends her book SPQR on the Roman empire with Emperor Caracalla's reign. Caracalla decided to give citizenship to all free inhabitants of the Roman Empire. It was a decision that ultimately diluted the very concept of Romanness, of what it meant to actually "be Roman." Getting similar vibes from Musk, making Twitter an 'everything app'.
That’s a smart comparison. Thanks for it and your kindness.
