Imagine spending 40 billion dollars on one of the most recognizable brands in history, so deeply embedded in the public consciousness that any other company would throw virgins into a volcano for a chance at that level of recognition, just to replace all of that branding with your own little name that everyone has been telling you sounds stupid for the last 25 years
Yes, I mean how many companies get their brand turned into a verb?
It’s like someone buying Kleenex and going “Nope, it’s called K now.”
Elon: "Need some Ks, mate"
At least K has something to do with Kleenex. It's more like buying Coca-Cola and changing it to J
K is something very different LOL
