"Threads" always seemed like a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Part of the brilliance of Twitter was the name, and part of the insanity is that Musk gave that up for the most generic of generic names that might seem cool to a 5 year old.

FacebookMeta's Threads get rebranded as twitter, while Musk(paypal)'s keeps using "x" as its name...
Since Musk is obviously throwing away the Twitter trademark, does he eventually lose control over it and someone else just take it and start using it.
Forcing users to pay to access the platform, daily usage limits, flagging companies the boss does not like as shrills, rate limiting paying advertisers, etc.
I honestly believe that the point. Alphabet is suppose to be faceless and unseen. It's free from the perception of it's subservient brands and can act freely to promote it's own interest regardless of public opinion.
the prefix from "meta-physics" and other "meta-things"... in latin this prefix translated into "super-"
Shouldn't that be pronounced Kitter or Chitter?
The only official pronunciation of X in English is "ks", and there are many languages that use X for many different sounds. Shitter is appropriate, I think some Spanish dialects might read it that way.
Also in English x is pronounced as z at the beginning of some Greek-derived words like Xerox and xylophone.
I wonder why politicians don’t all rename themselves “Joe Smith”.
I feel like people don’t mention this as much as one would expect.

though the "Asperger's" story is the most repeated. Personally I think he's a schizotype because I think the vast majority of people who think they have Asperger's (I don't) are really schizotypes. I had a hard midlife crisis with a breakout of situational narcissism too but I got my ass kicked quickly in a gentle way.
We need to be told and hear things that are painful and force us to reevaluate. In the ab$ence of that, its financially/personally/socially ruinous. Suicidal even, some might infer
My social perception is basically intact; there are certain things that autists are oblivious to that I perceive. However there is some kind of glitchiness that makes that perception seem to be a curse rather than a blessing. Maybe the glitchiness is not the social perception itself but the other cognitive processes that have to form a chain for it to work. Or maybe I am a bit inclined to be paranoid, or maybe it works too well and I see things people don't want me to see or maybe I find other people's emotions to be too overpowering. (Either way I didn't want to make eye contact as a kid)

no, and...\n no
I'm saying, behavior analysis people: behavioral analyze this public record of nuts happenings and have and where have you seen this before?
He might as well have named it 42 since thats "the answer", no?
But he was a much more “on-paper” billionaire because his wealth was tied to some oil companies that had that valuation only on paper. It was tied to finding a lot of oil on some places. When that didn’t happen, all that “wealth” went to dust and he was back to being “only” a multimillionaire.

>I wonder if any psychologist or mental health professional has done an analysis of Musk's `X` obsession
Only if said psychologist wants to look ridiculous.
>I wonder if its in reference to the variable x since it can be anything he assigns it
I mean, clearly? I don't even think that's a secret.
>Its definitely a common narcissistic trait
IMO its fine to dislike Musk but suggesting someone is a narcissist because they like the letter X is an insane stretch. Especially from an armchair.
I think trying to diagnose people with anything over the internet is a dangerous precedence.
I think people are free to speculate, I just don't think it is at all productive. I mean, I honestly think he has some form of bi-polar but trying to diagnose narcissism because he likes the letter X and what it implies is crazy. It would be like me saying OP has agoraphobia because he has "obscurity" in his name. I could be right on both accounts but making diagnoses over the internet never ends well.
No credible professional is going to diagnose someone over the internet based off of twitter comments.
Edit: professionals will give opinions as [is appropriate and they are falled upon to do so]
No disagreement, lets do it here aha
You're asking a psychologist to do an analysis on someone based on their affinity for the letter X.
If someone asked if any psychologists have analyzed you because of your comment implying liking the letter X is narcissism, I would call them out all the same. It would look like someone searching for a psychologist to diagnose someone just to confirm their bias.
Hell, we don't even need hypothetical. Conservatives on twitter practically foam at the mouth to have a psychologist "analyze" Joe Biden and all but diagnose him with dementia.
If there's one thing I learned about dealing with a folks who have nothing but accusations (this is directed at the perpetrators you gave as an example) it is that they are frequently worst-positioned to be examined on the exact same material they use as a sword sans shield. They have no shield because they lack a defense beyond just fighting with their target over the sword, when they are inevitably challenged and parried easily
Edit: also, I'm more asking what is a pattern of behavior with similar facts indicative of or what clinical observations or inferences can be derived on a facial level?
Edit: Julius Caesar had the falling sickness [epilepsy] Rome had a right to know that and take it into consideration as part of the populace's/Senate's delegation of all or most of State authority to this one impresdive and well-financed man
Edit: most importantly, your prose is a little bit like a prism with light being refracted into a house of mirrors that are being infinitely recursively reflected on a concave trajectory
Between a pattern or course of behavior and the person carrying out the behavior? I would say that someone's public actions and remarks are not subject to therapist-patient privilege and that it is completely acceptable and defensible to look at a pattern of behavior and its dicrete component actions and derive conclusions for that based on similar and previously observed behavior from other anonymized and representative patients via case studies and clinical observations.
Seriously, I need this right now
Behavior can be analysed and parsed. Nobody is asking for anyone to rediagnose or diagnose at all. I'm asking if people who make their livelihood analysing other's behavior can do exactly that using Mr Musk's Twitter-related behavior as input and can it be intelligibly explained , not that Mr Musk's and/or his behavior needs to show up and lay on a divan and pour its heart out and waive therapist-patient privilege so they can stream the session on YT like some cosmetic surgeons/dermatologists do.
Are we gonna respond to written things or should we skip that pesky part and just rave about all the misconceptions we want to righteously pursue for points?
I love how selectively we apply this criterion to entities we wish to vilify. You could say the same about Google.
Some of these sound like things cool to 5 year olds. I wouldn't expect a 5 year old to know what a googol is.
For the first decade of its existence, Google would show the top 20 links for your search and at the bottom of the page say, "...of 2,000,000" or some other giant number, indicating to users how vast their index was.
"X" is just stupid. They could have at least waited until they added significant new functionality to differentiate it from Twitter with a new name.
Can you though? Googol is word to describe a large number few people would ever have need, or want, to articulate. It's not generic at all.
X is super generic. So much so it's the defacto choice for the placeholder when discussing general things, or the first variable used in maths problems. It's among the most generic a name one could come up with.
When speaking about X, you really need context to determine if we're talking about things in general, or the service formerly known as Twitter.
Yes, you can:
