sound like some corny shyt a person trying to revamp his aging nightclub does to attract a younger demo.

This is some dumb late 90s shyt for real when everything was extreme

Sounds like something that would have Sonic the Hedgehog on its commercial

Why would you change such a recognizable brand to fulfill some type of weird fantasy.

twitter needed a rebranding. x is a symbol that’s traditionally reflected something undefinable, something shrouded in mystery.

it could work.

I agree with this, there was too much negativity around the twitter name.....all we kept hearing was 'twitter is dying....it's finished' etc.

Re-brand to X is something new and interesting, considering the direction they want to go in.

…if Twitter was a public company I’d invest right now . It’s been dogged hard as hell but like we’ve seen there isn’t anyone out there that can take its spot (Threads )


This is like when everyone was piling on META a few months ago …Same with Netflix

Like I said in another the next “king” is gonna be the platform that gets WEB 3.0
Right … Threads ain’t that,Bluesky ain’t that (yet ) Mastodon isn’t either.

First thing that came to my mind too lol

I wonder what the banks and Arabs that gave him the loans to buy it think about this circus

So for those using threads, how is it?

Had a brief convo about it with a coworker and he helped me understand it just a little.

Basically anything X is already associated with elon, like spaceX, X.ai, etc. This branding will more easily allow people to identify the elon musk ecosystem, which is important for cross funding and stocks. For example, successful spaceX rocket launches increased the stock of Tesla. This is an attempt to do that.

Plus if spaceX really takes off in a big way and becomes the go-to place for space travel, twitter will become the official interplanetary news channel. Sounds futuristic and weird, but that seems to be the goal

Apparently, he might get in trouble in Japan for it

Couldn’t they just call it Japan X or X Nippon or something?

I wonder how much they paid to get that x.com domain.

Everyone knows that but it's still to bury a brand as strong as Twitter when really the last thing it has going for it is its name. Not to mention "tweet/retweet" are just good ways define what you actually do on the platform.

Sometimes brand synergy isn't worth what people think it is. That would be like the New England Patriots rebranding to the New England Cheeseheads or the Boston Razor Blades because the Krafts own them.

That would be stupid...wouldn't it?
