One thing I think Elon got right with Twitter was renaming it X. I think the dominant brands of the world are trending towards losing characters in the long-term. So he just leapfrogged to the ultimate outcome of a single character. There are only 26 letters in the English language and now he effectively owns one.

Hard disagree, twitter was an extremely distinct brand, X is not. Sometimes I accidentally tap Xverse wallet when I try to open X on mobile, because it's so similar at a glance. Lots of brands use an X as the main part of their branding and the business name is just X + some normal word. The bird was better

It’s sad, but it might be true.

There are certain names that become a part of the English language. Twitter, tweet, retweet, etc. It's like saying Coca-Cola rebranding to C would be amazing. It wouldn't. It'll always be Coke. Forcing people to use X and reducing reach for using twitter is not the most stable thing to do. But it's his. 🤷♂️

I can see that but it’s not conducive for creating language around. Like Xing (tweeting) or “did you see that X” (tweet) ReX (retweet). I think we still need language, people still say google as a verb. On here it’s a cast, makes sense.

Agreed. I'm glad it's a Gen-X who owns X tho! 😅
