Twitter has rebranded to "X" which Elon says is a step towards creating an app that will do everything from payment transfers, video conferencing, file sharing, etc- think whatsapp.
Good move or yet another misstep?
It is hilarious and possibly one of the most, if not the most retarded rebranding in the history of this earth. Everything about it was handled poorly ranging from getting caught by the police when trying to replace the sign on their building to ruining the excellent brand recognition twitter had to failing to realize that their main competitor, Meta, owns the copyright for X in regards to social media meaning they are infringing on their trademark and would lose in a court battle and have to change their name in humiliation publicly.
I could talk for HOURS about how this single move might just have killed Twitter completely. About how the letter X is associated with pornography so is the last thing you want to associate a social media aimed at kids and young adults. How single letters are horrible for search engine optimization meaning they will have less exposure from Google. How the words "tweet" and "retweet" was worth their weight in gold and not only did Elon not consider what "retweet" would be called but his alternative to "tweet" was something like "x'ed" or something stupid like that.
Furthermore is the case of Elon Musk having a quite frankly unhealthy fascination with the letter X. Not only did he start a banking service called X before getting kicked off by the board, he also named his kid "X Æ A-12", made an AI called X. AI, Space X, made a Tesla X series and probably more things that I just can't think about. But the funny part to me is that even with this absurd obsession, he still did not have a logo prepared for Twitter once it rebranded leading to the point where he tried to get one designed for free by asking in a tweet. In the end he did another moronic decision to use an existing font for it that he can't copyright.
It has just been a demonstration of just how dumb Elon Musk actually is and its refreshing to debunk the idea that successful people are somehow better than us mere mortals.
One of the single dumbest decisions a company made in recent history. A brand as iconic as Twitter and a term as established as "tweeting" - throwing that away? That's just insanely retarded. Imagine Google changing their name and expecting everyone to now say "x-ing" instead of "googling".
People need to finally realize that Elon Musk is extremely unintelligent. He's a psychotic, narcissistic moron. He's basically Tech-Trump.
m in 5 seconds he could have done a Twitter poll and gotten millions of responses, probably well over 70% to not change it
It doesn’t matter to me. I never used it 😂

More centralization of digital life is the LAST thing we need. We should be going in the other direction.
And how the hell would a court let you get away with trademarking a LETTER?
Bad idea. I know it’s just a logo but always a mistake to change branding for the wrong reasons
It's stupid. Makes no sense to me. But I'm not on Twitter anyways so it doesn't really matter to me.
Another mess up of Twitter. This makes no sense, and so glad I will never use Twitter.
He is apparently obsessed with the "x" symbol.
But like all of his ventures, he overpromises, underdelivers then fucks off before it goes sideways.
s It looks weird and bland. It sounds like another bad move.
I will never do on line bill paying but video conferencing and file sharing i might use. He is taking a big picture approach to social media and getting rid of the Twitter name.
I don’t see how an X would be more relevant.
Why didn’t Elon just make his own app?
Not really a fan but don't use Twitter anyway.
Twitter has bird droppings
Who really cares? If Elon wants to change the logo to a couple of fucking dogs, that's fine with me!
Twitter, which i never fully understood the point of, has gone down hill. I no longer use it. I'm not famous anyway, why should i?
It doesn't affect me either way. I don't use Twitter anymore. I opened an account but never did anything with it
I don't care, it's just a logo, the whole site is still exactly the same.
dont cares 0 emotion, even they burn themself, won't cares what twitted does🤣🤣🤣🤣
who cares? he does what he wants, its his afterall
Elon's done lost his damn mind.
X is not good logo
I don't use Twitter so I don't care
I couldn’t care less
Next step in the tax break plan
