M$100-1000 (my choice) if you think renaming twitter is a good idea, can articulate at least a sentence of (doesn't have to convince me) reason why, and I think you're not trolling.

(yes, i know, thought it'd be fun anyway)

It’s a step on the path of starting the social media/banking/everything company that Musk has wanted to make ever since the PayPal days, with the added benefit of X million daily users already being there. The name change is a way to do the “clean break” of starting a “new” website.

Tiktok used to be called musical.ly now no one remembers that name. Tiktok might just be a better more fun name. Maybe they had some other reason to change their name. But no one remembers the old name. People will probably remember the name twitter for a while, but eventually x will just become the name everyone is used to.

In the mean time it will bring the website some publicity and as Matthew has said if Musk wants to create a unified website for everything x is a great name.

Also if he just changes the name back to twitter in a week, he got free publicity and no one was harmed and he can say it was just a joke.

does Elon Musk count as anyone?
