Oh interesting 🧐

It also allows for easy naming of products: xchat, xbank, xwallet, xshop … kind of like the i in the iPhone

In terms of branding, I think X is an excellent choice.

It is pointless to be fixated on what a tweet will be called because all of that can be changed to anything now. 

X is a placeholder. X can be anything, and that is the point.

X marks the spot. It’s where people go.

X is mysterious. It makes you want to gossip about the possibilities or what it may be.

Those are all important aspects of marketing - viral word of mouth. Why did he choose X? I don’t know. But could be a combination of some or all of those factors. Maybe there’s an interview where he talks about it? 🤷‍♂️

Sounds like I’m trying to apply for a job at X 😂😂😂

Just evaluating the branding decision. After all, we are allowed to think and speak freely here.

I think all 3 missed the mark. My bet is on his personal agency. He seems to have an abnormally high level of personal agency to tackle anything he desires. Maybe neurologically influenced? I don’t know.

Yeah it tasted pretty good for a hacked together dish

Made some shrimp 🦐 scampi for lunch.

Why do you need to know? You don’t. 😆

How is it backed by WEF?

I feel people are giving it more importance than it deserves.

In my mind, WEF is just a global BBB. A sticker on the window.

Scenario: Twitter is in a death spiral and could go under any day.

Elon decides he needs to make some drastic moves to buy himself time.

Step 1: Stop the leaks - pay the top creators from ad revenue. Only the top creators actually benefit, everyone else is still pretty much the product.

Step 2: Initiate a massive marketing hype move: X

Perhaps the everything app does make sense to him, but it’s a big move to get there. Not enough time or resources to make it happen quickly. So… you make a drastic move and stir up the conversation by rebranding Twitter to X asap.

Step 3: Build out X as people are hopefully excited again and stop leaving for competitors. Launch each feature as quickly as possible.

A desperate move for a desperate situation. A typical Elon story… at the edge of survival.

Will it work out? Given his past history with working under pressure at the edge of failure - probably yes.

Oh… I didn’t have keys saved on that account 🤦‍♂️

Maybe we need some feedback there to the user

I’m just teasing, not judging

Is alby login on Iris and coracle working for you? I can’t get either to recognize the extension 🤔

😂 😂 😬

If people care that much about followers, what hope is there for them?

We’ve got the makings of a dystopian hellish reality underway and people are concerned with what a Tweet will be called.

Is there any hope?

Have a feeling people will eat up the super app and the worldcoin and the CBDC… and smile doing it.

Nostr must win.

Exactly

Where? Not seeing on the website

Chatgpt? We’re funding worldcoin 😂

The issue with SimpleX is that I can’t use it on my desktop. That stops it from being a serious contender for me. Great on mobile.

Also, GM! ☀️

It’s pretty good 👍
