When did Twitter become X and why?

I'm assuming it was around the time they were draining my haid. 

Totally missed it.

The same reason why facebook became meta. The techbros believe that in order to get away from bad PR all they have to do is change the name of the company.

The answer is at some point, Big Social Media and Big Tech will have to answer for their "coordination" on "enforcement" 

Facebook became "Meta" after it was revealed that they had a "Tasks" and "Centra" set of platforms that coordinated "corrective action" in conjunction with other major companies. This challenges Section 230. This creates all kinds of salient Anti-Trust issues. 

Elon Musk needs to separate "Twitter" from it's previous ownership and association with all of that. Former head of "Trust And Safety" for Twitter under Jack Dorsey was Vijaya Gadde. She likely perjured herself multiple times before Congress. You'll notice when Twitter took heavy fire and were being dragged into public eye, Dorsey INTENTIONALLY put Gadde out in front. So she could operate as the sin eater. The problem is she could flip to save herself. She's not linked to a big family name or legacy power. She has no one to protect her. 

Section 230 will be heavily challenged. Lots of executives for Big Social Media likely perjured themselves over censorship and false user data ( to drive up advertising)

Also there's a huge problem with child pornography and child trafficking facilitated by Big Social Media ( to be fair, none of this is exactly easy to enforce given the traffic/data volume) but the progressive pathway is that Meta and Zuckerberg wants to market to children, younger and younger, to get them as lifetime users faster and faster. This is a very destructive narrative for the Big Tech industry. 

Musk doesn't want the name "Twitter" to get dragged out over enabling child porn before he owned it. But that's EXACTLY how it will be played out in the MSM to attack him later.

I started a fairly large thread on Instagram ( under the Meta banner) and child pornography.  Also one on COVID19. 

The pandemic issues will split down the middle. Big Social Media can probably skate around that. The issue with children however is indefensible. By estimate, 70 percent of adult citizens in the US right now are parents. 

Musk needs to divest himself of Twitter's previous legacy. Also Jack Dorsey was often accused of pure outright Anti-Semitism. Now people can determine for themselves if they agree with that, but it's another issue that Musk wants to avoid having dragged over him, before he took ownership. 

Point to note, Marc Benioff of Salesforce was considered a short list "contender" to buy Twitter instead of Musk. But the stink of the Anti-Semitism around Dorsey was just too much bad optics.  Now, some will point out that Twitter was also primarily a bad investment overall, and there's some truth to that, but from beyond just the money angle, these kind of narratives were a problem. A lot of it was SUPPRESSED by the activist MSM. 

One of the reasons Musk gets so much pure cover is because Space X is critical to national security and he's a privately held darling of the current Military Industrial Complex. The backbiting in public is one thing. The clear partisanship against him is also another thing. But if anyone truly threatened Musk (no one takes Elizabeth Warren seriously), then Raytheon steps in. And good luck to you with all that if it gets to that point.

This is the correct answer for why

I think officially it was only about a month ago but I know he was doing the legwork for it well before that

[KSB2424 3,148]

@wiffleball  it’s simply a corporate rebranding.  You know how it works and have prolly been there yourself. 

Seems weird at first but if the product is good and profitable it works.

Are you trying to say that mega popular services or products that had changed their brand name were planned out in advance? 

Holy shlt. Everyone thought the name change was all thought of and changed in less than a minute's time. .

Of course, but the public doesn’t usually find out about it until the company’s marketing campaign about it starts.
