He is a terrible marketer. He's hired some great talents, but his ideas are more times than not trite and stale. X? Does it have a representative theme, like crossroads, Xistance, X chromosomes, straight edge, or xTREME! I mean really, why would you destroy a brand name like Twitter to replace it with something so bland and mundane? X? Please tell me he's not going to go with "X marks the Spot"...
Good luck coming out with a "games" section, or a streaming services, "X streaming" just sounds raunchy, like a new type of Spice channel. But, what can I say, this seems to be what we've come to eXpect from Elon.
Ha! I wasn't even thinking of SpaceX. So, it's a piggyback off of Exploration? Why name Twitter X though, why not SocialX or VoiceX. Still, can't believe I didn't even think about spaceX, serves me right for being such a critical Chris.
I'm not saying it's good branding, but if you look at apples i prefix, branding everything X makes some sense. It is very generic though. Apple never released the 'i'
