Will X have an X rated section?

Did you see the porn site xvideos was trending yesterday after the announcement of the name change X?

Xvideos is a top 10 in the world. Xvideos v Twitter should be an equal-footing legal battle.

These Twitter own-goals are pretty funny.

Maybe Musk knew about the porn site and just wanted to cash in on what he thinks will be an advertising windfall. Always thinking, that Elon.

It’s like Elon saw Threads struggling and decided to help them out with this.

The logo is probably not legal to use. Also, he doesn’t even own the @X handle.

Actually if you read down in that topic, people respond with a really compelling case showing how the X logo is fine even if it was slightly modified from a copy-writted font.

Lovely plumage.
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

In 2018 Musical.ly app was extremely popular. It had more than 100 million daily active users.

It rebranded itself as TikTok

Was this also a mistake?

No, but that's because the product evolved from a karaoke app to a larger social media one. The previous name didn't make much sense.

I can't really think of an equivalent where the company that is synonomous with a product is going to completely rebrand.  But whatever...it's his company and can do whatever he wants.  If it flops, its only costing himself money.

But that is behind the change to X. He is trying to make it the "everything app" from videos and images (going right back at Instagram after Threads), news, to making it a way to transfer money ... bank.

To be clear, not saying this will be successful, saying this is what he is trying to do. So, the rebrand is for the same reason that Musical.ly rebranded to TikTok.

Stellantis is the only one I can think of, and it's not quite the same.  Oh, and then there's the Warriors.

Anyway you cut it, Elon’s tenure as head of X has been a colossal failure.  As soon as another app similar is available, X is doomed

Could be, but we definitely know X is doomed.  Except for the fanboys.  They’ll stay.  They remind me of the Trump Cult.  Eerily similar
