re: What's the point in changing Twitter to X?

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.

Birds, crossed.. I guess space-x meets twitter-x?

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.

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

He can't. Celebrity cruises will have a word.

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.

I’ll buy the dip. Don’t bet against Zuckerberg.
Posted on 7/23/23 at 5:26 pm to East Coast Band
It’s an incredibly stupid idea
Posted on 7/23/23 at 5:27 pm to Fun Bunch
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.
I'll assume same thing here, it's still going to be called Twitter.
