>"Twitter isn't focused on being a microblogging platform anymore, and X has a branding problem worse than that papa John's guy, John Schnatter."

It is amusing that accessing "X formerly known as Twitter" by typing "x.com" in a browser still resolves to twitter.com. Is there a reason that a CEO who is unbothered by abrupt and radical changes can't or won't retire the twitter.com domain?

Is there a practical reason for this? Certainly "tiwtter.com" being hardcoded everywhere would not rise to the level of an intractable problem.

Obviously there is a ton of technical debt involved and the devs convinced Musk not to deal with it yet. If they had hardcoded data center names , you can imagine what goes on with the domain.

Wouldn't amaze me if at least one of the major downtimes they've had has been an attempt to do this.
