> They have by far the strongest brand

They don't really, because of Gemini and Grok.

If it was OpenAI vs Claude then yeah, ChatGPT is known whereas Claude you have to be an enthusiast to know.

But everyone using Google runs into Gemini and everyone using X runs into Grok, and people talk. Now even the laypeople know there is more than one AI, and they're from big brands that they trust. Which means that people will window shop for the AI with the best performance per cost. Bye bye brand power.

Twitter never had a meaningful customer base compared to Meta and it’s been declining since Musk took over.

Does anyone trust Xitter? If so, they shouldn't.

      It's run by an insane person and insane people are generally very volatile and difficult to rely on.

      I mean, even just the name - 'X'. You can tell that's some Elon Musk bullshit because it's the stupidest fucking name I've ever heard in my life and nobody with even a quarter of a brain would ever suggest that as a brand name.

      When that's literally the brand of your company, naturally I question if everyone has the screws tightened up there, you know?
