Earlier today Musk tweeted that Twitter needs to become the most accurate source of information about the world.

[{"selector":"#anim-fa7df1d7-27ba-49f9-8aac-489271649085","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-94.84029%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-505c579f-65ce-452c-a1d0-a601b578c40a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d9c4109f-0889-479f-9fbd-bcb9df24a037","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Twitter founder Jack Dorsey replied to the tweet, “accurate to who?”

[{"selector":"#anim-024fddc4-a3de-49b2-a719-8dfa4ec7f6f9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-94.10112%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-05ecb39f-6edd-44c4-b9ab-ef2824117131","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bd10f12c-5ecf-4451-93be-a7dba3590c0b","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Elon replied to Dorsey that it would be judged by the people of Twitter via Community Notes (formerly Birdwatch).

[{"selector":"#anim-017d290d-cd3e-41fd-ac87-5348f174700f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-94.51697%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bd2a5e44-e8b5-4c82-aa36-3d20920774df","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-62833dee-0cc2-4774-b78e-424ff579ccb9","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Dorsey argued that Birdwatch is a far better name and “more informative” a far better goal.

“Birdwatch gives me the creeps,” Elon Musk replied.

Twitter founder Jack Dorsey then wrote that name doesn’t matter.
