I don't get why he didn't rebrand it as "twitter on X", X encompassing the chatbot, job search, group voice calls, etc and "twitter" being an "app" on X

because then the press wound still refer to it as twitter.

who calls alphabet alphabet? meta ended up slightly better only because they had three or four really strong consumer brands.

>who calls alphabet alphabet?

Not the same as Alphabet is the parent company and media do call it so when the parent company is fined for example. Same for Meta. Also, the press does write "X" or "X (formerly Twitter").

I replied to a comment suggesting X be a parent company to Twitter.

Not exactly. I was saying Twitter should be the product, X should be the platform. The current situation would be as if Google renamed Youtube to Google

I don't call alphabet anything because I don't talk about alphabet. Google is a subsidiary within alphabet.

I replied to a comment recommending Twitter be a subsidiary of X.

He jumps consistently in an X shape every time he makes a public speech though. He is pretty… important about the X.

It’s because X was supposed to become a one app to rule them all like WeChat in China, and that obviously never happened (maybe because he fired everyone?), instead X is just Elon’s personal Twitter.

It's sad but it might eventually. I would imagine to the end of Trump cadence we'll be paying with x-coin in supermarkets, both he and Elon will be making tons of money. Trumps and Elons x-coin will have tariffs built in to it and you won't be paying taxes if you use it /s
