I fully expect people to still be calling it twitter for a long time.

That's because it's an established brand with a huge value to it. Everyone knows twitter. Only an idiot would throw that away.

Musk has been on a roll of bad decisions since he first offered to buy Twitter lmao

[–] Decimit@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He was making terrible decisions way before that.

Yes but Twitter is a 44 billion dollar mistake

[–] Decimit@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

You make a very good and very expensive point.

Meta/Facebook and Google/Alphabet are very different from Twitter/X. The first two created parent companies under which their large brand names still exist, but are now managed along with their other properties (Instagram, ~~Snapchat~~, Waymo, Deepmind, etc.) Musk, meanwhile, is trying to completely burn down the Twitter brand for some incomprehensible reason.

Snapchat isn't owned by meta btw
