In the beginning after Elon Musk took over Twitter and renamed it to X there were some suspicions wether or not the platform will be multi-purpose, but so far, it does no appear like that has happened. Do you think X will eventually become such a multi-purpose platform, is it already one and what are your general thoughts about X?

Worlds are very powerful, words define the discourse, word change the history. You can't just throw money and hope to change like what X is trying to do.

Twitter is X, not the other way around.

I still refer to it as twitter I guess change is hard when your use to calling it twitter. Seems like the platform is mostly for news/politics/adult content

Considering Twitter is the second app that started the web 2.0 revolution, has inventeed and given life to microblogging, a meaning to send simple TWEETS to followers, changing this ICONIC Twitter's app name to X is the most bizarre and STUPID MOVE ever done by the Musk!

Adapting to a new technique is hard when you are used to a particular way.

“X formally known as Twitter”
That’s what every news outlet says.
Something will always be called their old name.
A snicker bar will always be called a marathon for me.
Star bursts will always be called Opal Fruits.

Any change could happen who knows but that won't make it different from any other social media is going to be a copy cat, as it is has a unique touch, Mr.Elon Senpai knows it still adding a few features that might help to use it more instead of going to facebook or instagram any big change on the current style let's call it will make it different since that moment twitter will disapear.
