- benj111 3y agoIs this to combat the question "Are you a Twitter user?" "No, I'm an ex user"
- faefox 3y agoI wonder what the CEO thinks about this?
- jacquesm 3y agoTwitter has a CEO?
- RyanAdamas 3y agoHe is a terrible marketer. He's hired some great talents, but his ideas are more times than not trite and stale. X? Does it have a representative theme, like crossroads, Xistance, X chromosomes, straight edge, or xTREME! I mean really, why would you destroy a brand name like Twitter to replace it with something so bland and mundane? X? Please tell me he's not going to go with "X marks the Spot"... Good luck coming out with a "games" section, or a streaming services, "X streaming" just sounds raunchy, like a new type of Spice channel. But, what can I say, this seems to be what we've come to eXpect from Elon.
- benj111 3y agoFits with spaceX though.
- RyanAdamas 3y agoHa! I wasn't even thinking of SpaceX. So, it's a piggyback off of Exploration? Why name Twitter X though, why not SocialX or VoiceX. Still, can't believe I didn't even think about spaceX, serves me right for being such a critical Chris.
- benj111 3y agoI'm not saying it's good branding, but if you look at apples i prefix, branding everything X makes some sense. It is very generic though. Apple never released the 'i'
- djur 3y agoMusk bought X.com back when that was something you could do and he's been trying to capitalize on it ever since. Simple as that.
