Elon Musk’s recent announcement to rebrand Twitter as ‘X’ has caused a stir in the cryptocurrency world, with the previously unnoticed altcoin X experiencing an astounding rise in value of 11486.6% in just seven days.
Musk’s vision for X and its potential influence on the financial landscape is a crucial driver behind his appointment of Linda Yaccarino as the CEO of Twitter in May.
Twitter Plans For ‘X’ Platform
In a recent announcement, Linda Yaccarino unveiled the company’s plans to launch a new platform, “X,” which will change how people interact with each other and the world.
According to Yaccarino, X will be the future of “unlimited” interactivity, centered on audio, video, messaging, and payments/banking, ultimately creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities.
X will be powered by artificial intelligence (AI), enabling it to connect people in “ways that they have only just begun to imagine.”
This new platform has already started to take shape over the past eight months through Twitter’s rapid feature launches. Yaccarino believes that Twitter has the potential to “dream bigger, innovate faster, and fulfill its great potential with X.”
Linda Yaccarino and Elon Musk, also involved in the project, are excited to work with their teams and partners to bring X to the world. The platform has the potential to deliver everything and has no limits to its transformational power.
