There's just something so pathetic about failing to start your dream company called X in 1999, and then twenty years later when your ultra rich buying some other company and renaming it X to try and finally feel like you won, you did it, you made a globally important social media company called x. The struggle is over. At last.
This is continually decreasing.
It's even funnier that the website itself is still using "twitter" as URL.
Well, not anymore. It's already fully migrated to x.com.
It still refers to itself as Twitter though.
I cannot prove this as it is a theory someone else proposed, but I sincerely believe that his obsession with the letter X is due to the fact that many native African tribes signed away all their rights and privileges with an X mark, since they were illiterate.
