Why not just switch your site redirects? Instead of x.com opening twitter.com make them go to x, and eventually stop the redirects and put a landing page on Twitter with a link to x.com. How do you expect people to stop calling it Twitter when that's literally the site name even if you type in x.com
He doesn't just want the links to change. He wants the mindshare to change. To erase twitter.com from consciousness. Because X is like, super cool, man. So the solution is to rewrite tweets so it's impossible to say the ungood name.
Prob too many references to twitter.com in their code or whatever to fix or something similar?
find -type f -exec sed -i 's/twitter.com/x.com/g' {}\;Take a backup first in case it breaks something, which it most likely will.
I don't really know code but he has that curvy line and some different colors and shit so this should work. Ship it. No need to test.
You just passed the exam to be a Project Manager
We don't always test but when we do, it's in prod.
Fuck it! We'll do it live!

Elon? Is that you?
If I was elon I would have said 'ship it you fucking code jews'
Elon affectiously refers to TWFKAT's developers as "Kode Kike Klub"
Are you my company's developer!?
Partially because you didn't escape the dots.
Tell me you didn't read the article without telling me you didn't read the article.
Not like he doesn't have the money to hire some people to get it done.
Not when he can just threaten everyone and tell them that they will all sleep on air mattresses at the office until it is done.
That's what they've been doing. Shared links have been going to x, which redirects to Twitter. They started doing it the first time they tried changing and everything broke. This is their second try.
