Elon Musk Discloses Why Rebranding Twitter To X Is Crucial & Impact Of Shiba Inu Dog

Published by

Elon Musk has officially rebranded Twitter to X as it was acquired by X Corp, a subsidiary of X Holdings. Elon Musk, CTO of X, explains this is not simply a corporate name change but a company improving its products and services, as well as changing its vision. In a separate post, he said we tried rebranding to a Shiba Inu dog, but “No impact.”

Elon Musk on Twitter Name Change to X Despite Brand Value

CTO Elon Musk on July 25 responded to a post on companies changing their names. Musk explained that Twitter was acquired by X Corp earlier to ensure freedom of speech and as an accelerant for X, the everything app. He argues this is not a simple name change by a company but introducing many changes.

“The Twitter name made sense when it was just 140 character messages going back and forth – like birds tweeting – but now you can post almost anything, including several hours of video.”

In addition, he revealed his future plans for X. The company aims to add comprehensive communications and finance and payments-related services to the app. He argues that the name “Twitter” doesn’t match his plans, “so we must bid adieu to the bird.”

He also replied to another post by a user saying that even if the company changes the name to a donkey, he would still scroll for hours. Elon Musk said we tried rebranding to a Shiba Inu dog for a while, but it didn’t have any impact.
