The thing that really bothers with me with this is why couldn't it just be "Twitter by X"? You want to make an "everything app", that's great Elon, let's call that X. Now what do we call all the mini apps inside the everything app? Oh, they're called "X", too? So you're using "X of X" to call a cab, and "X of X" to send a message, and these are different apps inside the mega app? How does this naming make sense?

That would be too sensible.

Sarcasm aside, they probably were hoping to convert the brand name twitter has to 'x', but failed to realize how sticky the name was/is.
