Eighteen years of Twitter with one name change

 On this day in 2006 Twitter saw the light of day. It’s changed its name to X but it’s the same story and more or less, tells the same story.

Yesterday this blog featured an interview with X owner Elon Musk and it’s a fascinating to-and-fro between Don Lemon and Elon Musk.

Are there moments in the interview where it could be questioned if Musk is being illogical? Are there times when he is not being consistent?

But it makes for great television and both interviewer and interviewee make the viewer/listener think about X and the world of social media.

Retiring Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has called X a sewer pipe. Obviously Elon Musk would disagree.

The interview is well worth watching.
