Mr. Musk may have successfully pushed Twitter's new name and logo, 'X', and even made the vanity domain x.com redirect to the social media website, but that's not to say, the Mathematical double-struck letter will fit the bill everywhere. Apple's App Store can't accept Twitter iOS app's new name due to minimum character requirements

    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

      Haha almost exactly what I just said and it looks like you already said it. To me this just shows that the people working there right now actually have no idea what’s going on, or at least the way the decision making structure is unable to hear any feedback from the technical team in charge of implementation. Like this is mobile app developer 101 stuff.
