I don’t want X, the ‘everything app’ that Twitter is trying to become
As a brand, Twitter is dead. Elon Musk made sure of that, replacing the Twitter name with X and the bird logo with... an X. This is all part of his master plan of turning Twitter into the "everything app," the equivalent of WeChat in China. Twitter's acting CEO Linda Yaccarino recently confirmed that's what Twitter is going for while she tried to explain the unnecessary rebrand to X.
But I, as a longtime smartphone user, do not want an everything app. That sounds like a nightmare, actually. It'll be a messaging app crowded with features I might never use. It's not just the thought of having to deal with all the clutter in Twitter/X that scares me. I also don't trust that Elon Musk will properly execute this bold pivot.
