I’m sure most companies would like to “fail” like X!
And three years later, news stories still feel the need to tell us “X ... formerly known as Twitter ...”
That’s all very good but as far most people still refer to the platform as twitter even when the write quotes from X.
That hasn’t stopped it’s growth or it’s emergence as the preeminent source of information (to be evaluated not swallowed whole).
“Critics”
Definition:
people that have no talent to do it themselves so they try to tear down those who can.
IOW......LOSERS
You know, since the space company is SpaceX, I always thought the idea would be to call it “TwitterX”.....I guess that wasn’t Elon’s intention but that’s what I call it.
Maybe it was about his kid, as I understand it they call him X.
When writing, I tend to use “twiXter”.
Quite the reversal - upward. All enterprises should “fail” so spectacularly.
But then, in the lexicon of the great unwashed left, words can and do take on meanings quite at odds with the original definitions.
Who’s Katie Miller? Who care what she predicted? People make claims everydday that are wrong. She just happens to be spectacularly wrong.
Oh I see, she didn’t make that prediction, she is Stephen Miller’s wife. Never mind. 🤣👍
Fast Company did.
You know they are bots because they are too beautiful?

Um - Would you take
“Critics == Experts == LOSERS”?
Never heard of them either. Are they still in business? 🤣👍
You don’t hear the phrase “content moderator” much anymore...
Or “disinformation”.
A lot of people who’ve never achieved 1/10000th of what Elon Musk has seem to feel qualified to predict that something he does will fail. This usually does not turn out well for them.
the author...
You don’t get to be a TRILLIONAIRE by being stupid. Remember when the rename happened the left was laughing that Elon was going to lose his money.
IIRC, it was only $45 million or something like that. WORTH. EVERY. CENT.
