    The problem is, is that if you engage with anyone outside of the internet, they have no fucking idea what you’re talking about when you call it “X”.

    It’s so fucking stupid of a name. Even worse than Facebook changing to Meta.

    You can ask people to call it “X” all day, every day, but you can’t just change the name of your brand/product to a single letter, that people use every day for other things, and expect it to work out for you.

      That was totally his idea, the idea of a fucking imbecile, I bet he fired the entire PR and marketing departments, because he thinks he knows better.

        An imbecile narcissist. He probably thought he could literally take over the mindshare of “x”. Megalomania seems like his brand, though, so no surprises there.
