HBO Max and Bud Light breathe a sigh of relief that they are no longer front runners for worst branding decision of 2023.

No it was the other way around, X.com was renamed to Paypal!
X.com was an online bank co-founded by Elon Musk in 1999

In June 2001, a year after a merger with Peter Thiel's Confinity, X.com was renamed PayPal

In 2017 Musk bought back the domain name X.com from PayPal.

Sounds nuts. X in a website title suggests porn. Not that I'd know of course.

its ceased to Twit!

Elon Musk announces he will officially rebrand Twitter to 'X' from TODAY after ditching the platform's iconic blue bird logo
The announcement from the Twitter CEO comes hours after he announced the site's famous bird logo would be changing to an X, possibly as soon as Monday

He hinted the symbol came as part of a larger rebrand of the entire platform , and could be implemented as soon tomorrow, as he searches for the right design

Hours later, as onlookers online continued to debate the news and its legitimacy, Musk, 52, made it clear he was serious - revealing a URL redirect is now in place
