Twitter "rebrands" to X
-
Or how to shoot yourself in the foot
With us in France, the sentences “write a tweet” or the verb “tweete” were in the mores, they will say what the young people, “I will” Xer"
overall it’s still horrible and this logo is very ugly.
I expected no less from that megalomaniac Musk
Twitter will surely disappear and that wouldn’t be so bad
Personally, I have an instagram account and a facebook account which I only use to contact certain music artists when I need to have vinyls signed for me so it’s quite rare even if I’m starting to have a lot of them
In addition, all my contacts are only in private messages and I have no “likes” or other message history on my accounts. All is clear
I also used unique emails and fake names. -

Impossible to not agree with! As they say, money is power, and you don’t spend $44bn on something to leave it the way it is now.
What is abundantly clear is that the Jack Dorsey days are well and truly over. The Twitter “brand” will be wiped off the map sooner than most analysts have forecasted in my opinion. Musk clearly wants to align the current Twitter platform with his own X Corp branding and make it work in the same way that WeChat does
I think we’ll be seeing a lot more then just the blue tick as paid services only in the coming months.
Change isn’t always a good thing. There are millions of die-hard Twitter users across the globe, and it’s pretty obvious that number is set to free fall as Brand X begins to take hold.

it will be like “onlyfans” , if you want to follow someone, you have to pay
I guess that is why he choose “X” to hint at the adult (18+) direction he is taking… lol… -

@phenomlab I think Elon is so full of himself, he does not think the possibility of people leaving the platform once we know as Twitter…
Once the number of people moving to other platforms exceeds the “critical mass” , X will be over…

Yes, then it will be rebranded to X-Twitter

WeChat is too hot in China, Alipay and WeChat can’t be separated from each and every one of us, including the government, the cashless era is their home turf, they can control the direction of public opinion and the flow of money for all the people, Musk’s ambition is too big, I don’t think Musk is stupid, he has his own ambition, there’s no way around it

@veronikya not stupid, no - but certainly a grandiose view of his own abilities which might not match reality.

Just reading the below article - seems WeChat is sewn into literally everything - everyday life in China
Clearly a level of success that Musk is keen to emulate.

@phenomlab this will not be successful in the US. We already have Google graveyard that proves this… People do not want to “merge” various businesses into one. They prefer to keep them separated.
Whenever someone else becomes successful Google just replicates the product but fails miserably… Who needs another “Facebook” (Google+) while we have the original one? Or Google Wave or Hangouts (messenger/skype), Stadia (Playstation/Xbox competitor) , URL shortener (bit ly)… or even if we go back ~20 years… Google Videos was horrible compared to youtube or Dailymotion, but in this case, google just bought youtube before canceling google videos… (I guess their best investment)
I do not think Elon is as smart as the people in Google… We will see another website soon “killed by Elon” lol
Today I realized that twitter app on my phone turned into “X”… I think it is time for Zuckerberg to check-mate Elon… He can re-brand his new “Trends” app into “Twitter” lol… It will create more traffic for sure… and he was trying to create a Twitter anyways, and clearly Elon is trying to get away from “Twitter”, so it is a chance for Zuckerberg

Rumour has it that Threads has seriously lost momentum in terms of signups. The first wave was over 100m, but that has since flatlined.

@phenomlab I am not surprised. even I realized that I did not get its name right while writing lol
-
maybe it is just me, but I feel like people are hesitant to put all their eggs in the same basket, they will just not trust big companies… so whatever Mark replicates will not really be successful. No one will switch to Threads while we have Twitter. These new apps should come from independent sources “to be cool”

@crazycells Yes, this is a good point. I think that the first “100 million” registrations were comprised of those with Instagram accounts who simply were curious and decided to sign up to see what all the fuss was about, and those brand strategists who only signed up to secure their own brand in case Threads really took off.
As I mentioned earlier, the momentum has slowed significantly since then.
