It seems like maybe the commenters here thus far are missing the (obvious from the title) fact that this is not affiliated with Musk or “X” at all? I admire the aggressiveness of this move and I’ll be rooting for them.

Seems pretty obvious it’s not related to Musk or X. However, it’s just another proprietary social network. We are all familiar with the pattern now. Proprietary network and investors eventually means enshitification.
