So the rebrand comes with X promising to be an app to replace everything?
X gonna give it to ya, X gonna deliver it to ya.
Well, it sure sounds like X is delivering users to Mastodon.
Plot twist, Elon is a Mastodon marketer
It sounds like he's trying to copy zombo.com (listen to the audio for at least 30 seconds to a minute - the animation is a little broken by now)
He wants something like WeChat that does everything.
Less than 1% of twitter users signed up to pay for twitter blue. And less than 1% of twitter users are going to do their banking through a social media site run by a megalomaniac. This is doomed to failure, just like it was 20 years ago.
As painful as it might be for him, this dude really needs to let go of his obsession with the letter X.
Source it was 1%?
