Why experts predicts X to Fail ?

The sad truth is that there are no great “social networks” right now. X CEO Linda Yaccarino said, there is an important place in the world for X”. We may fail, as so many have predicted, but we will try our best to make there be at least one.

There are several challenges faced by X are:

· The social media landscape is crowded and competitive. There are many other platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok, that are vying for users' attention.

· X has been plagued by technical problems. The glitch that deleted pictures posted before December 2014 is just one example.

· Musk's plans for the platform have been met with criticism from some users. His decision to remove the ability to block users has been particularly controversial.

Since, Elon Musk take-over of the company for $44bn, the multibillionaire Elon Musk has tried to shake things up, introducing radical new changes to the platform, from laying off over three-fourths of Twitter’s workforce to his latest statement that the platform’s feature to block other user profiles would be removed.

The platform, being rebranded as X, has also suffered blackouts and glitches in recent times with the latest one appearing to affect tweets with pictures and links published prior to December 2014.

X appeared to have problems displaying old posts that came with attached images or hyperlinks converted using Twitter’s built-in web link shortener. There are speculations that the latest glitch preventing access to old images could be due to X trying to recover more server space, but this might also not be an intentional move carried out for cost-cutting purposes.

Some people also appear to be able to view their old images back again, but it remains unclear why the glitch occurred in the first place.

Despite these challenges, there are also some reasons to be optimistic about X's future. The platform has a large user base, and Musk is a visionary entrepreneur who has a track record of success. If he can overcome the challenges that X faces, it could become a major player in the social media landscape.
