and elon musk's plan for a super app? >> it is not a new concept from elon musk. even before buying twitter, he had put forward this idea of a super app -- x, the everything app. he already had the name in mind. he had talked about it as some sort of a spin out of twitter. this was even before he bought the platform. x seems to be a brand that he himself is keen on. spacex being the name of his space technology company. and it has been rolled out -- again, like a lot of things happening with twitter, he makes the announcement on the weekend and suddenly things are moving in a fast-paced way on monday. what we are seeing today is the x logo being rolled out to the platform. it is on elon musk's own page. the twitter account is now an x logo, but it is still called twitter, and the buttons on the site still say tweets. that is something that is really strong in the twitter branding. they actually created a whole language around social media, and what was once called microblogging is simply referred to now as tweets. i think to step away from that is a bit of a mista

to carl's for its owner, elon musk? sfaction with twitter over the years but elon accelerated that and those changes that he made were in short order and make people more upset. so now as they are potentially bleeding users as people consider going to zuckerberg's version of twitter, elon should do some thinking around to a need to change my strategy, is making people pay $8 a month for features that are not really that much better or sensibly different than using twitter beforehand, is that the right strategy? 0r beforehand, is that the right strategy? or should we work on gaining back our advertisers, many of which have left the platform or at least paused advertising because of the policy and content moderation changes. so i don't know, hopefully for his sake, i guess, is thinking about strategy and what he wants to do in the near term. i strategy and what he wants to do in the near term.— strategy and what he wants to do in the near term. i am sure is thinking _ do in the near term. i am sure is thinking about _ do i

whether it's elon musk refusing to pay rent, not being a very fair member of the city in trying to advocate>> there's a lot going on with elon musk and "x" ," to say the least. they have confirmed that elon musk over the last year threatened legal action against tech competitors. obviously, employees, people involved with twitter. he's also taking aim at on organization that studies hate speech. what do you know about this? >> yes, so the center for countering hate is a nonprofit and they put out a lot of research that shows how hate speech has evolved on the platf platform, and other platforms, but particularly they put out a lot of data about hate speech under elon musk on twitter. and this has been something that irked elon musk for a long time, in part because he doesn't believe that third-party researchers know what's happening on the platform better than he does. my argument would be, elon musk's just started to put twitter's api behind a pay wall. this is part of a larger problem for elon musk and twitter. he's trying to go after people who are researching the platform for hate inste

elon musk has killed off twitter�*s recognisable bird logo with an x.t's a bit to rebrand the platform and advertising revenue continues to flounder, and under its new identity, a post will also be called an x rather than a tweet. the rebranding could be part of a push to make twitter into a super app. twitter is reborn as x, it is the latest big change since elon musk bought the social media platform for $41; billion last year and at the weekend, he said he was ditching the famous blue bird and changing the logo of twitter to an x. the ceo addressed the rebranding in he claimed usage was an she claimed usage was an all—time high and they should not share any specific metrics. and as to what x might look like in changes in audio, payments and banking. it's no secret that elon musk wants to transform twitter into a super app, similar to chinese and indonesian social media platforms. these apps let people send and receive payments and content, and access things like food deliveries. but do the us and consumers wanta superapp? they already have easy access

earlier on, elon musk said this. of data scraping and system manipulation, we've applied the following temporary limits. we will go on to the limits in a moment, but first let's talk about data scraping. it involves gathering data scraping. it involves gathering data from different websites harvested for information and his brought into one place, and you might recognise that from searching for insurance deals or holidays. elon musk doesn't want that happening on twitter. if you are a verified user and you pay for your account every month, you will be able to view 8000 posts per day. if you don't, and that is the majority of users on twitter, you will be able to view 800 posts per day. if you don't yet have a twitter account, but you want one, and you start one up today, you will be able to view 400 tweets per day. let's just very briefly talk about what verification is. it used to mean those who were celebrities in big organisations could prove they are who they say they are. but when elon musk took over, twitter bl

elon musk wants to turn twitter into the next everything up and that is not, it is not known as twittermpany as x. he wants the app to be central to every day lives, and a hand to everything from communications, to financed, gaming. so we're going to find out what this is all about with the best man we know, nbc tech correspondent jake ward. jake, i want you to explain all of this to us. first, re-branding the company as the letter x. you have wall street analysts who believe the company could use billion dollars of brand value, not to mention the letter x on the internet is going to fast-track you to a porn haven. >> i know, i don't know stephanie. elon musk is so exhausting to cover because he is so indomitable about these ideas which, to any sensible wall street analyst or tech journalists, don't make any sense. the thing we have come to understand in the last few days about is mania for this idea is that he has had it for a long time. it turns out that, back in the year 2000 during his short-lived tenure as the head of paypal, elon musk went after the same concept. but an all in one

let me start with elon musk because i heard you're shorting elon musk on what and why? >> well, david, because of how he's actingment look, elon musk is famous for tremendous innovation but look how he's acting and acting much more on whim than reason. this transformation of twitter into x has been an unmitigated disaster. look, there's no monopoly in a free market and twitter has a lot of competition now. former president trump's website among many others threads from instagram and facebook, so you've got a 13-year-old plus brand that he's throwing away worth $5 to $20 billion and doesn't own the trademark from twit tore x and will affect tesla and etfs and other instruments that can go up when tesla goes down. david: let me push back a bit. first of all, people have gotten poor down selling of the ability of elon musk to make money. he's done so in a lot of enterprises and look at what's happened to threads, the major competitor to twitter is threads, this new -- i say twitter but i mean x i guess. the new zuckerberg miracle supposedly. they've lost about 70% of their

kristen: elon musk i think tried to register with the u.s.atent and trademark office that x, in relation to online social networking services. but somebody is saying here on twitter or x that microsoft owns the trademark for x? is that right? >> that is something you have to look into. that sounds like some tech tea. kristen: that would be rich. that would be really rich. who knows whether he can use it? let's just talk about what he envisions with this everything app. i am familiar with wechat. it is huge in china. you can call, get your news, you can pay for things. is the payment part really where he says, do everything? i guess you can't really make calls. but you get your news. what is it? how will all disintegrate? >> this is something that the twitter ceo tweeted about. the focus will be on things like audio, video messaging, which you can already do, payments and banking is that new category there. that's going to be something they are going to branch into. i don't know how. we don't know yet exactly what that means. but that is kind
