Big news! How Twitter made fun of Facebook over its new name

Facebook Inc on Thursday announced a corporate rebrand to Meta in a move seen as an effort to move beyond its scandal-plagued social network to its virtual reality vision for the future.

The corporate name change comes as the company attempts to fend off one of its worst crises and pivot to the ambitious “metaverse” project that, the company said, would blur the lines between the physical and digital worlds.

The rebrand, however, triggered a meme fest on Twitter. Twitter itself joined in on the fun as it ribbed its rival social network. The San Francisco-based company shared a post on its verified handle, simply stating: “BIG NEWS lol jk still Twitter”.
