I think you meant to reply to a different comment of mine. Musky boi here wanted Paypal to be X.com before being mutinied from his position as CEO because x.com sounds like a porn site.

Twitter on the other hand was for quick sharing of information in under a specified word count, like a bird tweeting. It was a primary source of information for a lot before its possession and subsequent consumption by a billionaire 1950's fridge
