its best to just tell them about Element, and leave the Matrix name out. the curious ones will find it out.

Then I get dumb questions of "Why do I need to create a Matrix account to use Element? Can't I just use a Element account?"

this could work: "when you want to try a different client than Element, you can use the same login for that too"
