The Spin

Narrative A

The merger is a strategic consolidation that will enhance AI capabilities, expand distribution reach, and create a more efficient and powerful technology company to better compete in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.

Narrative B

The deal is a financial maneuver to prop up X's struggling valuation by merging it with a more valuable AI company, establishing dominance in the AI sector, and masking X's ongoing revenue challenges and advertiser exodus.
