X Factor

Has Musk's rebranding of Twitter to X been a success? I'd say not - every reference to X is followed by 'formerly known as Twitter' so as to differentiate it from a porn film.


No-one sends an X - they send a Tweet. Abject bloody failure, if you ask me.

Even the website is still www.twitter.com, although you can get to it with x.com.

Earlier in the week I wondered who owned Google, one of the largest companies on the planet, and I couldn't name either Larry Page or Sergey Brin. I had to look their names up. They're almost invisible, unlike the other tech entrepreneurs, such as Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook, Jeff Bezos, et al.
