Elon Musk’s decision to rebrand Twitter as ‘X’ has unintentionally caused some strain in marital relations. One user, Alex Cohen (@anothercohen) from Texas, shared a screenshot of a message he received from his wife questioning a charge on their credit card statement labeled ‘X Premium’. This name change for Twitter Blue, the monthly subscription service, has led users to comment that it sounds like a porn site. The humor in this situation is evident as Cohen jokes that he’ll be sleeping on the couch tonight. Other Twitter users have also drawn comparisons between the new name and X-rated websites, expressing their disbelief and amusement at the unfortunate choice.
The rebranded X Premium, previously known as Twitter Blue, offers exclusive features such as the ability to edit tweets, undo a tweet immediately after posting, and post longer tweets up to 25,000 characters. Subscribers to X Premium also receive a blue tick to indicate that their account is verified. However, this shift to a subscription-based model has frustrated some users who now find features that were previously free behind a paywall. One such feature is the ability to send direct messages to non-followers. Additionally, Musk recently announced that only X Premium subscribers will have the opportunity to earn money through their posts. Users who meet the criteria of being over 18, having at least 500 followers, and being X Premium subscribers will be eligible to receive a share of X’s ad revenue based on impressions.
It is important to note that Elon Musk’s vision for Twitter goes beyond a mere social networking platform. He aims to transform it into an all-in-one app known as an ‘everything app’. This future version of Twitter would incorporate various online services and utilities, including social networking, ridesharing, finances, and food deliveries. Musk’s personal connection to the letter ‘X’ is evident, as it was the name of one of his first companies before it merged with a competitor to eventually become PayPal. In his pursuit of this vision, Musk has also established a new company called X.AI, which may develop an alternative to ChatGPT called ‘TruthGPT’.
Ultimately, Elon Musk’s reign over Twitter has brought both excitement and controversy. While he continues to make headlines as the world’s richest person, his involvement in various projects, including Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink, showcases his innovative and entrepreneurial spirit. Despite the occasional misstep, Musk’s contributions to technology and society cannot be denied.
