In short, ex-twitter?
So does a "tweet" become a "message/action formerly known as a tweet?" That's gonna get tiresome reeeeeal fast.
I love it.
"I was on the website formerly known as Twitter and I read this really funny message formerly known as a tweet about how Elon Musk is totally botching the website formerly known as Twitter. I totally action formerly known as retweeted it."
No, because that would imply Musk and Twitter is on the same level as TAFKA Prince.
I liked the idea of pronouncing it "10" like the Roman numeral. It's not necessarily incorrect, and it fucks with Elon's ego
I’ve been pronouncing it like that sound a gameshow buzzer makes when you get something wrong or run out of time.
I'm going with the Cyrillic pronunciation: Zh
Cyrillic Х is "Kh", Ж is "Zh".
Even better. Sounds like you're a little sick every time you say the name.
That is long, lets acronymize it: TWFKAT, pronounced twif-cat.
Would be nice if we could call them TWATS
My thoughts exactly.
I for one think X is a very cool name. Nice rebranding!
Formerly Known as Twitter is too long .... FKT hit it on a few levels.
FKT reads like “fuck it” to me, which I completely resonate with
I'm still calling it twitter.
Let's just make it a symbol.
I propose two lines on top of each other on the diagonal.
Just refer to it as “My X”
Shitter?
Can we get it to wear assless chaps while we're at it?
I prefer twatter

I have been using this for years
I've been having fun writing a dumb userscript to help me cope with this.
Yes, it can put back a bird of your choosing as a logo, but why stop there.
Instead of tweeting on Twitter, I can now spez on Reddit, skeet on Bluesky, or just eXecrate on X, the Elon way.
It's ridiculous and pointless, and I'm not sorry.
The eXsocial media company.
Just because he has money, doesn't mean he gets to tell you what things are called.
They changed the name of the millennium dome in London to "the 02 Arena".
I'm not letting you pay someone else for me to say your (unrelated) brand's name in private conversation.
If Verizon sponsored the Whitehouse and said "it's called the Verizon Democracy Centre" now, what would you call it?
Some publications often do this. At least on Reuteres, as well as other news sites, I've seen that Twitter/X is now referred to as "X, formerly Twitter", probably to avoid confusion.
But "the website formerly known as Twitter" is just too lengthy for everyday conversation. I just call it Twitter, everyone knows what it means
I'm calling it the "X-porn". :^)
I never stopped calling him Prince 😂
