    I’m not. Prince was awesome. He changed his name to a symbol because Warner Bros trademarked his name and wouldn’t let him do what he wanted with his own music. People started calling him The Artist Formally Know as Prince. But the reason was ignored and everyone made fun of him.

    Musk is an idiot and loser and shouldn’t be even tangentially compared to Prince.

    I much prefer to call it “10”

      This might hurt a little, but I don’t think most people today know who Prince is. I just know that he was a musician. That sentence is also a commonly used sentence in such scenarios, unrelated to one person.

      No idea who prince is except he’s a musician but “the site formerly known as Twitter” sounds hilarious

      I think you’re a little silly for assuming that directly references Prince. I wasn’t even alive when all that stuff with Prince was happening and I had only heard it happened in a conversation I had with my mom when I was like 12. A conversation suddenly brought back to mind by your comment.

      That’s just kinda what you call something that was formerly known as something else when the something else is not well received.
