You excoriate the truth.

Twitter will be renamed X. I never use it, so the change won't affect me.

Nine months after buying Twitter for $44 billion, Elon Musk has decided to rebrand the platform. The name Twitter will be gone, as will its iconic bird logo. In their place, Musk is planning on renaming the platform X. “X is the future state of unlimited interactivity – centered in audio, video, messaging, payments/banking – creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities. Powered by AI, X will connect us all in ways we’re just beginning to imagine,” Linda Yaccarino, the company’s CEO, posted on the platform. This could be a nod to Musk’s longstanding plans to develop an “everything app” in the manner of China’s WeChat – something he said back in October 2022 his purchase of Twitter was an “accelerant” for.

Well, this is interesting. I’ve read about it here and there, but I never used Twitter and was never interested in it. It offers me nothing. But I’m glad it’s changing one way or another. We’ll see how it works out but the name X I’m not sure I think he could do better than that.

This just proves that Elon can be a real twit sometimes.

'X' sounds like he wants it to go away!

And the self-righteous folks rise to condemn Twitter without knowing anything about it! Typical of so much judgmental commentary these days. I have enjoyed Twitter: Insights from pundits I respect, frequent postings of art works (including photographs) , exposure to new topics I might find interesting....

Twitter, of course, has it's bad side. But so does UHH. Think of how many Hogs have nothing to say but say it anyway -

I do not disagree with you and my reply was not condemning that includes other media sites too.
Just for me, I do not need it. Maybe a latter date I will check it out but my experience with it is limited.
I have artists friends who use it to help promote their works. As a communication help, I can see it has benefits but again, in my world today, not needed. But as I said, this is interesting and I think it will be a good thing. However the name 'X' ? hummm, well I guess we will see.

I'm with Jerry on this. I've never used Twitter and do not plan to use "X" so Linda is wrong in her statement that it will connect us "ALL."

Agree about the ‘X’ BS. Don’t know were Musk is going but so far his influence on Twitter appears to be negative. I just follow people and accounts that I find interesting. I don’t tweet, so for me Twitter is more like a magazine - one-way communication…

Yea me too bro. I do not know but I hope he can make it something useful and safe. I just never needed it because it did not have anything for me.
But let's hope for the best for those who do use it.

What will they call a tweet? "He posted an X about..."?

Isn't it still "Twitter", just with a different logo?
