🤔 Durov's Code

The head of Telegram shared a sketch of a logo for his sperm donation program, wondering how minimalist “pd” inside a circle looks.

💘 The note also shows a probably joking domain, durov.cum. Earlier, Durov said he’s willing to pay for IVF for unmarried women under 38 who want to have his child.

☕️ Durov responds

Pavel Durov called his sperm donation program a “non-gay project.”

Earlier, the Telegram founder shared a sketch of a logo for the project, asking how minimalist “pd” inside a circle looks. One commenter pointed out that “pd” is French slang for “gay.”

Durov replied on X:

So it will be a non-gay project claiming it’s gay. Like France’s President — in reverse!
