Musk: "X" is expected to become part of people's everyday language.

CTOnews.com, August 2 (Xinhua)-- Twitter has speeded up the process of "getting rid of history" after changing its name to "X". CTOnews.com reported that Twitter quietly changed "Retweet" to "Repost" and changed the word "tweet" to "posts".

These actions have been ridiculed by the industry. Salesforce co-founder and CEO Marc Benioff posted a post today: "what should we say now? 'did you see that tweet? I tweeted!' or 'did you see that X? I did!'"

The message of the post posted by ▲ source Marc Benioff caused a lot of interaction, and Musk retweeted the post, saying that "X" is expected to become part of people's everyday language, such as "see on X (Saw it on X)", "post on X (Posted on X)", "pay on X (Paid on X)", "text to X girlfriend when drunk (Drunk texted my X gf)" and so on. It also hinted that Musk does intend to build "X" into an "American version of Wechat", a combination of "social platform, IM client, payment software" functions.

In the comments section of the Marc Benioff post, Simone Lovati, manager of CRIF, a financial company, said:

X is no longer just 'tweeting', so we can't just associate the act of 'posting' with the name of the product itself.' X' is developing into areas such as payment, streaming video, instant messaging and so on. Musk will launch a new game, and frankly, I'm glad to see the different positioning of'X' compared with WhatsApp and iMessage.
