Elon says Twitter/X will challenge YouTube and LinkedIn

Executives at X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter, said they see YouTube and LinkedIn as future competitors while pursuing new business lines in video and hiring.

Owner Elon Musk and chief executive officer Linda Yaccarino called out the two sites during an all-company meeting Thursday to commemorate one year since Musk’s takeover of Twitter Inc., according to a person familiar with the matter.

No it won't. It's just a mess. Not with a bipolar billionaire messing around because he saw something in a dream.

When will X just be known as X?

Never. It's pathetic.

Good, competition is always good.
Youtube needs competitors, so I am hoping Elon is successful.

They have "competitors " but they amount to nothing. If you find a video you wanna watch, it's just a repost from Youtube anyway.

Wonder what Musk is smoking? X will never be a competitor to those sites.

Will challenge them to a fight? Like he did with Suckerburg and then his mom said no?

With video quality like this? Keep dreaming. Even 144p Youtube looks better.

Yeah, that's what they said about Tesla and SpaceX.
Never say never. Only time will tell.

X? Not Twitter.
Changing the name is proving an even bigger failure than all the other X/Twitter failures.

Elon Musk - Cool story bro. So what? Do we need to pay now to upload videos/use the silly platform.

"It’s unclear what X’s YouTube, LinkedIn and PR Newswire competitors will look like, and the executives provided scant details."

Shhh.... no one tell him.



Also, it's now months in and this Twitter to X change is still as ridiculous as it was in the first place.
I still see people fumbling and trying to figure out what to say in the place of "Twitter and Tweets".
Worst branding decision ever.

Yep, I agree.

X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter

And it certainly doesn't help that MyBB, along with other sites mention the former name of Twitter.

So the X name unfortunately hasn't really stuck.

But hey, time will tell...
