Twitter has managed to get so many words to be common. Like it's a "tweet", not "a post on facebook". It's a "retweet" or "quote tweet", not "something I shared on facebook". Why throw all this deep brand recognition away?

It's like people say "google it", and google suddenly changing the name of their search.

> The company’s CEO Linda Yaccarino tweeted that while Twitter changed the way people conversed with each other, X will go further and will have features “centered in [...] payment/banking”

Good luck with that. I was permanently banned from Twitter for reporting Russian terrorist content.

If you fancy being locked out of your money for apparently a thought crime, then X (or rather Z) is for you, comrades.

This man is burning anything that had any value at Twitter. From an extremely valuable list of verified users to the name which is even used as a verb.

There is absolutely no reason to rename Twitter. The name isn't even that stained compared to like Comcast or what ever the name was of that phone company in the 90s that sucked so bad it was renamed.

You know, for all the talk about how twitter is going downhill and making stupid decisions, this is the only one so far that really, really, does seems stupid.

Verification was bad and now it’s a joke, api rate limits have some possible argument etc - but why in the hell buy a household name just to change it? Why not build X from scratch?
