Will the VINE that Musk has advocated multiple times change from Meme to Imagine?

Regarding whether VINE will be replaced by "Imagine", here are a few points of logic:

  1. VINE has always been a MEME, representing the market's expectation of whether the originally shut down Vine short video platform can be successfully restarted. Therefore, as long as either Musk or Rus (the founder of VINE) has not clearly stated their abandonment of the plan to restart Vine, VINE will continue to exist.

  2. The recent frequent promotion and mention of Grok Imagine by Elon does not mean that Imagine is going to replace VINE. Even if Elon said Grok Imagine is the AI Vine, Imagine is just a product branch feature, similar to how Grok is the AI module of X. Imagine is merely a functionality module for converting images to videos within Grok. Elon’s high-profile promotion of Grok Imagine is only to highlight Grok's AI enhancement capabilities, and does not equate to renaming Vine with Imagine; at least, old Ma has not "explicitly" stated so.

  3. "Bring back Vine" is not just a slogan; it contains complex factors such as culture, emotions, branding, and IP, which means Vine is a cultural symbol with special significance, carrying the internet memories of a generation, and this emotional value is hard to replace. In this context, it seems that Elon’s suggestion to reboot Vine in the form of AI ultimately aims to revive Vine, and Grok imagine is merely a demonstration of core product capabilities before reaching this ultimate goal. In other words, if there was no intention to reboot Vine, there would be no need to mention it; the goal in the form of AI is also a reboot, isn't it?

  4. The reason for continuously emphasizing Grok Imagine is that AI Vine is simply to express one point: Vine will "accelerate" its return in the form of AI empowerment. Don't forget, the core of the Vine short video platform is 6 seconds of video. If Imagine can, as Elon said, directly convert images into 6-second short videos with real-time rendering capabilities, this will definitely be a core selling point after Vine's reboot. It is highly likely that Imagine will coexist as a creation tool while Vine will serve as a social distribution platform, and this is also evidenced by Rus's response of "both";

  5. The market's expectations for VINE have always revolved around whether Vine will really be relaunched, whether Rus can hold a key position at X, especially with Vine's logo being integrated and displayed on X's content interface, and whether VINE will circulate as a reward currency within Vine, etc. However, it is essential to note that as of now, MEME can only carry a form of cultural emotional belonging. Unless X, as a commercial entity, clearly states that it will empower the relaunched Vine and the corresponding token VINE, the market's expected valuation, price growth, and emotional expectations all carry speculative risks.

Note: The MEME market is quite volatile, please be sure to pay attention to risks when investing and trading. The above analysis is for reference only. Coupled with this short video below, it might feel too fun.
