This is wild, a significant percentage of Twitter's value was its brand, and this guy has just slapped an X on it and changed the colour scheme to dark mode. Do people actually still use Twitter?
The Twitter branding and userbase were the only value in Twitter.
Now old users are going to have no attachment to this weird new look and name.
And new users are not going to come, because they're going to think "it's still Twitter, why would I care about that?"
