X.com probably makes sense in the assumption that he turns Twitter into a WeChat clone as kinda 'everything app' which would obviously fail. But as 'everything app' X is kinda a strong brand IMO.
- DonHopkins 3y agoNot as strong as i.com.
- jrockway 3y agoMeanwhile, companies actually named Icom: https://www.icomamerica.com/ https://www.icomamerica.com/ It's crazy to me that they didn't buy i.com in the early days.
- sgc 3y agoIf you abstract from the current porn / nightclub styling of their branding, I agree it has potential.
- mrweasel 3y agoIf "X" can transition to a WeChat clone, then maybe, until then it's a shitty brand. The media always needs to present is as: "The social media platform X", "X, formerly Twitter" or "Elon Musks X". The last one seems to indicate the Elon Musk is a bigger brand than "X".
- kaba0 3y agoEverything is a bigger brand than X, it is absolutely insanely stupid.
- orwin 3y agoI'm not sure. It's very tech-nerd (like me) and tech-bro oriented. The logo as well, I'm pretty sure it please the aestetics of tech bros, but at least some nerds/geek find it stupid, and I'm pretty sure it doesn't bring a lot of new female users. Twitter was already one of the most male-dominated social media (especially outside the US), I think it would be interesting to see the evolution now that this became X. I'd bet a huge majority of new joiners are male (due yo the branding change), and a small majority of 'leaver' are female.
