His long term plan is apparently to turn Twitter into X and expand it into the “everything app”. Not sure what that means but I’d prefer it if it just stayed Twitter.

I guess you haven’t seen “Threads” numbers since the 1st day?

Threads numbers are worse than Mike Pence’s.

Making everyone go to X.com seems like a big autofill troll.

Yes, and in 20 years they'll be a question on jeopardy asking what was the original name of X.

I always thought Twatter was a better name since everyone goes on there to whine like little fricking twats.


That's rich considering you came to a social media site to complain about it...

Maybe he didn't want to be a twit.

All of his companies will have X in them, he's said this for decade or more.. he originally wanted PayPal to be X something, has owned x related domans for years.

Maybe an autistic thing, but it's been out there for years.

Twitter, or X, will wrap all things into one.. tweets, video streaming, chats, payment, ai, etc. That's his ultimate goal he's said.

X

It’s an exceptionally rare thing – in life or in business – that you get a second chance to make another big impression. Twitter made one massive impression and changed the way we communicate. Now, X will go further, transforming the global town square.

X is the future state of unlimited interactivity – centered in audio, video, messaging, payments/banking – creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities. Powered by AI, X will connect us all in ways we’re just beginning to imagine.

Threads traffic has already crashed. Reduced 70% from their high, which was week 1.

Because the long term vision looks little like Twitter and he doesn’t want that baggage

He wants to eventually turn it into a All-In-One app that you can basically do everything on.

This is the first step.
Granted seems 7 like they are changing the iconic bird logo but my guess is otherwise it'll be like Facebook naming their overarching company Meta but Facebook is still Facebook.

I'll assume same thing here, it's still going to be called Twitter.
