X Marks The Spot – Twitter Name Change

Last week Elon Musk completed his transformation of Twitter by changing the name of the once-dominant social media app to simply X, although a highly designed X. X.com had been a domain for a financial transfer app, which the genius had sold, then in 2017 re-purchased from Meta, which owns his rival Facebook.

The NY Times reported ‘X’ is a term for what Mr. Musk has described as an ‘everything app’ that could combine social media, instant messaging and payment services, akin to the popular Chinese app WeChat.

I thought this guy was supposed to be some kind of genius!

I am flabbergasted?

1. First he pays probably 3x the value of what Twitter was worth.
2. He removes at least 1/2 of company talent creating real holes on service and support.
3. He scares advertisers by allowing the return of throlls and villains (He himself becomes a political throll!)
4. Limits the number of messages heavy users can send per day.
5. And finally, he KILLS THE BRAND by changing the logo

One should question why Forbes keeps putting him at the top of his list!

A young friend of mine called Musk a genius. I beg to differ. His Space X company has been launching hundreds of satellites into low orbit threatening to block out the stars so the masses will be further empowered to decommunicate from other humans.

I hope the LA punk band sues him for copyright infringement.

At least he had the smarts to not name Twitter XXX.
