I don’t use it, but i’ll forever call it Twitter.
Its almost funnier to see every news publication constantly refer to it as “X (formerly known as Twitter”), the constant need to remind people of how stupid the decision was it amusing
I prefer “Twitter (temporarily known as X)”
That would imply he or someone else will change the name back to Twitter
or it’ll close down
If it closed down, then it would close down as X
And we’d still call what it was “Twitter”.
so it would still be temporary, is the joke. It’s just a pune or play on words
It was also temporarily called Twitter though
Hey, good news, Elon. Most of us have gone from calling it “twitter” to calling it “that facist shithole that used to be twitter”.
Good job wasting 43 BILLION dollars only to see it’s traffic literally cut in half, you micro-penised shitstain on society. You will not be remembered as the genius your group of ass kissers tell you you are. You’ll be remembered as being dumber than a one brain celled orange tabby.
You’re being optimistic. He won’t be remembered at all.
Is there anything the average person can do to increase the running cost of Twitter without increasing their revenue?
Like, can we just automate uploading videos of nothing meaningful, and re-loading them over and over forever?
It literally isn’t Twitter anymore. Twitter and X are very different things. We shouldn’t even be pretending that they’re related.
X is still such a stupid fucking name. I feel cringe saying that.
I won’t. It will always be twitter, and he bought it because people made fun of him.
He offered to buy it as a joke, and was forced to finish the transaction because he had taken it too far by actually signing contracts and putting money down. He was gonna go “Just kidding” and pull out, but then the courts told him that this already constituted a legally binding sell and if he tried to back out now he’d go to jail for fraud.
That sounds like the courts are fucking stupid and ill-prepared to do their jobs.
There’s no such thing as deadnaming a company/corporation/brand, they aren’t a living entity and have no will of their own, the one offended is their owner.
except they get more rights
Maybe he should buy Alphabet and rename their search engine.
Ooh or he could buy out Kleenex and rename that.
What the fuck would make someone throw out the name Twitter? It wasn’t a bad name. It wasn’t like…Phillip Morris or something.
Never. “X” is so cringey to say.
