i'm going to stop calling it twitter when twitter.com redirects to x.com, and not the other way around

at that point i would stop talking about it, because X is just too stupid

His obsession with the letter X is like that middle school kid who used to talk about how many girlfriends he got and how good he is at being a bad ass...

Basically, he's a less likeable version of Zane from Hypnospace Outlaw.

The problem is, is that if you engage with anyone outside of the internet, they have no fucking idea what you're talking about when you call it "X".

It's so fucking stupid of a name. Even worse than Facebook changing to Meta.

You can ask people to call it "X" all day, every day, but you can't just change the name of your brand/product to a single letter, that people use every day for other things, and expect it to work out for you.

Facebook the product is still Facebook. The only name that changed was that of the company that owns Facebook, which makes sense as that holding company also runs other products like Instagram.

Google made a similar move in 2015 when it created Alphabet to hold the non Google parts of Google.

In both cases the renaming was on the coorporate side. They made no effort to loose the old trademark, and continue to operate under it today.

The only high profile case that comes to mind that is simmilar to Twitter is when Comcast rebranded itself as Xfinity in 2010. In that case, it worked because: A) Comcasts reputation was way worse than Twitters and B) people don't have that much of an option anyway. In the otherhand, the rebranding failed in the sense that everyone still knows them as Comcast.

xfinity wasn't an acquisition, it was just comcast rebranding trying to separate itself from the stank of comcast. It did occur during a time of acquisitions of other cable networks, but that's been true of comcast for 15ish years. both domains still work for customers.

Largely true but as a small aside, Google is still a company (within Alphabet). Alphabet is purely a corporate structure, and all branding still has Google on it. Whereas Facebook is now only a product, Meta is the company brand with its own logo and products named directly after it (like Meta Quest).

In defense of Zuckerberg -- and there's something I never thought I'd say -- they changed the name of the company so that they could introduce new brands. They were not dumb enough to rebrand the successful products. It's just now Facebook by Meta.

Even back then a single letter domain was probably worth tens of millions.

Maybe he's just fixated on some sort of sunk cost fallacy. Now that he's finally in control of another online service he feels he needs to use the domain he spent untold amounts of money on just so it didn't seem like a waste.

When a trans person comes out, their dead name is the name they've abandoned in favor of their chosen name. Deadnaming someone is calling them by their old name. When done intentionally, it's considered incredibly rude.

Musk has a trans child whom he refuses to refer to by their chosen name, and he complains that people refuse to call his company by its new name.

At the risk of getting sued, this is how Elon runs his businesses.

Shows up late to nearly every meeting, and then will ridicule his management team for wasting his time.

He'll blow millions of dollars on an incredibly stupid idea that doesn't work and every expert in the room advised him against and then he'll turn around and fire managers for not saving pennies on a part.

He constantly lies to investors, customers and government agencies by promising things he knows he cannot deliver and then will fire managers for not setting achievable goals.

Deadnaming is when you intentionally call a trans person by their birth name rather than the name they chose when they transitioned. Musk has a trans daughter who has disowned him. You can imagine what kind of a a father he must have been for her to have disowned the world's richest man.

when someone changes their name, especially because their old one is a bad time for them. usually because they are transitioning, but maybe because they were a high profile victim, or a relation of someone who was, or they are trying to escape abuse- and you carry on using it to punish them and deliberately hurt their feelings out of spite
