Twitter lost all the engineers that realized you could just call it "X app" and get apple to agree to the change

I honestly wouldn't be remotely surprised if someone proposed this solution and Elon just threw a tantrum and is now demanding that Apple changes their rules for him because he wants it to just be X

Don't forget, this whole rebranding is basically just the culmination of a decades long tantrum about PayPal not letting him ruin their brand lol
