#33Elon Musk is addicted to the messaging app formerly known as Twitter.
Elon Musk seems to believe everyone else is addicted to the same degree.
Everything he does with twitter only makes sense to me given the assumption that all users have to stay and they can not possibly leave.
How many people are like "I don't want an everything app, I just wanna read silly tweets"? This demographic apparently doesn't exist in his mind.

#34On the one hand, Musk was always obsessed with X, so the change may be organic. On the other hand, a name change together with new product announcements is standard for American CEOs if they don't know what to do and have to show to their investors that they are doing something. I believe Musk has a number of Saudi investors. Let's see what he does. If he goes into streaming like with Tucker Carlson the renaming may…
If he goes into streaming, will the platform be called XVideos?

#36Now that Elon no longer wants the Twitter brand, somebody please steal it, make a new "twitter" clone hosted in Kosovo so they can't take it down (cough) and we all just move there.

#37Twitter 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.
Owners are kinda crazy. Go to relentless.com. It's the preferred name for amazon. Bezos got talked down from the ledge by his partners at he time.
the best meme I have seen so far, is musk has out Gavin Belson'ed, Gavin Belson.

"I xed it." the new verb sounds like using a dodgy porn site.

when a word becomes too common it risks losing its trademark though
Thats's only when applied to things outide twitter, which I don't think it's the case. I have never heard anyone talk about retweeting on facebook or whatever. The fact they don't do this would make their brand even more valuable
