***When they go to pay someone in BTC, all they will have is B2X. This could lead to major confusion, network disruption, and financial losses for users.***

If that will happen you will have EPIC dump on bitcoin . But not only bitcoins this will be nuke for all coins at end becouse all coins can be chalenged same way.
X country will tell you that is X coin and another country will say you "no this is X coin with KYC only true coin".

B2X is corporation takeover bitcoin.

How do you justify this story?

SegWit was the corporate takeover. It was pushed by Core developers working for Silicon Valley startups that want to push the transaction fees into their payment channels. It definitely favors corporate interests.

The 2x upgrade will increase the blocksize, which should lower transaction fees, and improve confirmation times.

Tell me exactly how a larger block size will favor a corporate takeover of Bitcoin. Keep in mind increasing the block size was promised by the lead developer of bitcoin EVERY TIME scaling issues were raised.

We were promised a fix to the scaling problems. Segwit hasn't fixed anything. Increasing the block size will fix the problem.

As far as I can see, not implementing 2 Mb blocks will favor the corporate takeover of bitcoin, assuming bitcoin doesn't just fail entirely over the issue.

Unfortunately I doubt you will get an answer. Everytime I hear someone say,'B2X is corporation takeover bitcoin", I have yet to hear that person back it up with facts when challenged. Now, personally I am terrified of the consequence of fork. What I know for sure we need a solution to these high transaction fees. And we were deceived into thinking 2X will be implemented after segwit. We all know LN is not ready, to me increasing the block size does buy us sometime while we look for more permanent scaling solutions.
