Things that are totally true because Elon said so:

He was not just an investor in Tezla

"an x" is harder to say than "a tweet" and "x's" is confusing to whether use "xes" also it's 2 syllables compared to "tweets"

People said this is like he just took marketing 101 but he didnt take a marketing class at all

Ahhh, but you see. He didn't just buy Twitter like a loser. He created x. He's a creator and a founder, not just a money guy. This is very important to emphasize that x is a transformation into a new thing that he made and nobody else.

I remember when he changed his performance name in the most inconvenient way possible for his record label in response to a contract dispute and changed it back once the dispute was over

he was also trying to destroy a corporate brand like elon is, but he didn't pay 44 billy for the honor

even if X had a business plan (which it doesn't) why would you just casually change the logo on a Sunday instead of releasing the new features in tandem

simply lmao all around

"twitter" still appears everywhere on the website, they just did a couple jpg swaps

Also Elon: “X shall be powered by artificial intelligence as I like nothing but sexy anime waifus created by AI!”

In the past I believed that I never had the aptitude to be a CEO.

So I want to thank Elon Musk and Donald Trump for proving to me that meritocracy is absolutely bullshit and I absolutely have what it takes to be a CEO or even President of the United States.

Now I might not be a good one. But I know in my soul I could do it better than these clowns.

Someone should ask musk what exactly it means when he says x.com will be powered by AI. The answer would be absolutely nonsensical gibberish.

Can’t wait til I can connect my bank account to xdotcom so it can pull my credit score to determine how many x’s I can read/write a day

Back then industry and media made the public laughed at him for his "crazy antics". Even many fellow artists didn't get what was happening until way later.

Now everyone is talking about owning their masters and publishing. He started that wave and tried to educate the people around him.

It really is not easy get a word into the common lexicon like tweet is. Even if the Twitter brand and associated words like tweet disappear from the product, I think language will take a few years to move on from it. Even then, people won’t move to “check out this x” or “I re-xed this x”, they’ll end up using more generic words like post, share, re-shared, etc.

The 2012 logo is a legitimate design classic, 11 years is a long time to last in tech and tbh it could have gone much longer too.

It is really impressive to see someone blowing hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars in brand recognition to forcibly change an institution’s name to something much worse because a rich failson cannot stand to be wrong about something
