I don’t think this is a good comparison. For Google and Facebook, that’s still what the products are called.

Their goals are all the same. Google and Facebook did it right, Elon did it wrong.
The companies grew larger than their flagship product, so they created a new umbrella brand for the company to continue expanding with new products with their own identities.
Rather than throw out the decades of brand recognition and destroy the identity of their flagship product in order to make it serve as an umbrella for video calls or banking or whatever else is crammed into X.
