    Just hypothetically, jokes and feelings aside for discussion sake, if we assume Elon had a plan after taking over (whether he did it by mistake or whatever) what do you think it could be?

      Saudi Arabia felt Twitter was a problem, so they paid Elon to take it down in a way it wouldn’t come back.

      The goal with the X rename was to make a western equivalent of WeChat, that’s a Chinese app for chatting, social media and payment. While X was the name of the payment company Elon had before it got turned into Paypal.

      Crux is, outside of the name change, we have yet to see “X” gain any more features that would bring it closer to WeChat, it’s still just a broken version of Twitter.
