I'm betting Elon had a fixation with alphabet soup as a kid. 😄
What a bonehead. X is such an old and tired naming convention. People were tired of it after Xbox.
Yay, a BlackBerry! Bring Back BlackBerry! BBBB!
Thank YOU Elon Musk Fror Making Twitter GREAT ❤❤❤❤❤
Anything is better than the deep state/cia/darpa rip off called threads.
Hopefully he will finally drive it into the ground..he’s a spoiled rich boy, trying to grab American power!
If he was a black man from South Africa, he’d certainly would not be embraced by republican so-called party!
He’s sickens me 🤮🤮🤮
I can’t believe Elon Musk named twitter “X” after his son
How boring, "X" ..did they run out of ideas and creativity. 🤔
People of often forget, but brain-eating amoebas do exist. One may be responsible for this.
now deleting …
THREADS >>>> X
I don't know what has got into Musk lately.
I am sorry, but the Wechat of America. I doubt it will work. People dint like have all those different apps under the Facebook umbrella. Why would he think that we would want one app for everything we do controlled by one company or let alone one person like Musk
Xbank
Just like the Nothing phone. The name of this phone don't make sense to me at all!!
This came too unexpectedly and out of the blue, nothign was said or mentioned about it prior towards its change, the entire thing looks rushed af.
X sounds dumb to me 🚮
Scrapping an iconic logo and everything that brings isn’t a smart idea. It’ll be over by the end of this year. Hopefully.
For Elon X=Twitter+PayPal+AI.
Its like he wants Threads to win
Elmo fan boys: You are being shown your boy is only good at engineering. He is BAD at everything else – running a social media company, marriage, etc. And he is a bad person.
Fact:
2 MAIN BIG REASONS he changed Twitter to :
* FREEDOM of SPEECH
* It will become an EVERYTHING APP
BOYCOTT TESLA
RIP Twitter 2006 – 2023. 17 years . X. Only Zuckerberg can save us now.
I’m relabeling it ; PATHETIC
Death of X-twitter
2006-2023
Love the lib melt down😂😂😂😂
It really isn't that big of a deal Elon Musk can do whatever he wants with Twitter.
We are just talking about a social media page, which is not that big of a deal if anyone. Wants to change the app. They can do you're so. You people make a big huge deal out of nothing Which you know what? You should not be making that big of a deal out of this.
2006 wow and now its dead. So sad the blue bird is gone! Thread is indeed the death of Twitter! So he copy China! Original!
Having only 1 letter to remember makes it easier on the pea brain customer base twitter has. Genius marketing strategy Elon! 😉
I don't have any apps. I don't own a "Can you hear me now/personal tracking device" IDF Chip?
Musk is so bent on twisting truth so later he can say that he created "X". What a loser. I don't know why anyone still uses that fascist platform that incel Musk transformed from a real social media platform.
Trump was Xed out before it was X LOL
NEVER USED IT, I'm Not a TWITT
Libs are freaking out again…worth the money for Elon.
cutting off instant news access?
I associate "X" with wrong answer, no, eliminate, cancel, negative, X-rated, and former spouse.
Whats titter
most useless tech ever invented
Don't care. Don't use it, never will.
Twitter x huh
Sounds like the beginning of sky net.
I don't understand how this guy built rockets and electric cars making millions. How the verb will be? "X"? "I'll X everybody" 😵💫
This will be the final death nail to it. Good!
The reality is the youngest generation have the most pull in trends and social media. Facebook and Twitter will be seen as archaic platforms that their parents use, so they will flock elsewhere.
