In addition, Mr. Mask said one of the reasons for changing Twitter to X, ``The name Twitter was meaningful when messages of 140 characters were exchanged like birds chirping, but now it is a few hours of video. You can now post almost anything, including over the next few months we will be adding comprehensive communication and the ability to manage the financial industry as a whole because the name Twitter doesn't make sense in this context so we I have to say goodbye to this bird (Twitter).'
