Twitter trolls Facebook over name change to Meta Twitter\/Mark ZuckerbergTwitter joined in on the fun of roasting of Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s announcement that Facebook would be renamed to \u2018Meta\u2019, a change that sparked plenyt of memes. On October 28, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg announced the company would be changing its name to Meta. The change caused a whirlwind of memes and posts all over the internet, on not just the company changing its name but to the fact that \u2018Meta\u2019 is an obvious gaming reference. Rival social media platform Twitter decided to join in on the fun, teasing a potential rebrand of their own. Twitter\u2019s own account, simply @Twitter, made fun of Facebook by tweeting a joke about Facebook\u2019s name change. The company tweeted, \u201cBIG NEWS lol jk still Twitter\u201d just after Facebook announced their big branding change. Twitter ragging on Facebook\u2019s name change is suiting given the two companies have been the biggest social media platforms, and competitors, since each came to be in the mid-2000s. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey also weighed in on his personal account, pointing out the literal definition of the word \u2018meta\u2019. meta: referring to itself or to the conventions of its genre; self-referential. \u2014 jack (@jack) October 28, 2021 Twitter wasn\u2019t the only company to rag on Facebook after the announcement. A few other big companies joined in on the \u201cMeta\u201d memes, like the fast-food chain Wendy\u2019s, who fake rebranded their company name to simply \u201cMeat.\u201d Wendy\u2019s took the joke even further and actually changed their display name on Twitter to Meat. Along with the name change, people also had some fun photoshopping Zuckerberg\u2019s presentation, replacing the new logo for Meta with fictional villainous companies, like Umbrella Corporation from Resident Evil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
