Probably main reason for rebranding and saying it will be the "everything" app, is to relaunch a new app and get rid of browser access. That way the new app can gather more use data.

I think you're onto something here. I've never joined twitter. I just look at two or three specific accounts for news updates via the browser. About two weeks ago, the site prevents me from doing that anymore without an account.

Only time I use Twitter is to see the million views by Message Board Genius reposts get and the thousands of nasty, personal comments that follow... so I'm not exactly a fan.

I'm not sure there are enough people like my wife and I that will never touch something that Elon Musk is involved with to impact Twitter and the foothold it has, but it certainly is impacting Tesla and I love every bit of it. 6 price drops in the past 6 months, a big new investigation of the dozens of unreported deaths found in the recent leak, and more recalls than all other brands combined. **** it Elon.

Lol, come on. Financials like the plummeting advertising income?
San this, everything he's touched has turned to gold. It's mind boggling why people are so big on criticizing his acumen. There are plenty of other companies that have survived obstacles like this. Gander through the market and you'll find an abundance of examples. In my lifetime, Apple and Oracle come to mind when the majority of pundits at one time thought they were toast. But, hey. Let the market judge X's destiny instead of some posters with one sided knowledge.

Lol. Found another fan boy. When X continues to hemorrhage money and employees you’ll still be defending him.

As long as there were massive government subsidies or over priced government contracts involved.

He's a good salesman when his fascism doesn't sneak out, that's about it.
