What a twat.
No. What a Xwat!

I will call it Twitter or Shitter. Your call.
Legend says if you say Twitter 13 times inside of a Tesla at 4:20am, Elon Musk will appear inside the car
Probably just disables your car
And if you say Twitter 69 times inside of a Tesla models S3XY at sharp 4:20am, Elon Musk will cum inside the car
More likely that the autopilot kicks in, locks the doors, and drives into a lake.
That’s going to happen anyway when he enables The Code, he just has to wait for enough people to buy them to save the climate he’s actively helping destroy with rockets, then he gets all them tree hugger no good hippies in one go!

Always deadname transphobes, it’s always morally correct.
“I saw this tweet on ten today”
tweetX’cretion
Thank you, from now on that’s what I’m calling it: X-create, x-created, and x-creating all over the Internet.
Sounds like custom HTTP header names
Sounds like excrete
X- prefixed http headers have been deprecated for more than a decade
X-Non-Deprecated-Checkmate
Try to explain it to the 20 year old systems.
Xeet. Take it or leave it.
Was thinking instead of calling them tweets we should start calling them kisses
Don’t you try and fix Musk’s broken toys! That child needs to learn not to break them in the first place. (though not a bad salvage for x)
I have never twatted on twitter, so I wont kiss on ten either.

The old name of a trans person. Insisting on calling someone by their old name who has transitioned is insulting and disrespectful, and refuses to acknowledge their wishes.
So what’s wrong with “color haired people”?
when someone changes their name, especially because their old one is a bad time for them. usually because they are transitioning, but maybe because they were a high profile victim, or a relation of someone who was, or they are trying to escape abuse- and you carry on using it to punish them and deliberately hurt their feelings out of spite
Wokespeak bro. Get with the times or get cancelled.
Idiot
The problem is, is that if you engage with anyone outside of the internet, they have no fucking idea what you’re talking about when you call it “X”.
It’s so fucking stupid of a name. Even worse than Facebook changing to Meta.
You can ask people to call it “X” all day, every day, but you can’t just change the name of your brand/product to a single letter, that people use every day for other things, and expect it to work out for you.
Facebook the product is still Facebook. The only name that changed was that of the company that owns Facebook, which makes sense as that holding company also runs other products like Instagram.
Google made a similar move in 2015 when it created Alphabet to hold the non Google parts of Google.
In both cases the renaming was on the coorporate side. They made no effort to loose the old trademark, and continue to operate under it today.
The only high profile case that comes to mind that is simmilar to Twitter is when Comcast rebranded itself as Xfinity in 2010. In that case, it worked because: A) Comcasts reputation was way worse than Twitters and B) people don’t have that much of an option anyway. In the otherhand, the rebranding failed in the sense that everyone still knows them as Comcast.
Largely true but as a small aside, Google is still a company (within Alphabet). Alphabet is purely a corporate structure, and all branding still has Google on it. Whereas Facebook is now only a product, Meta is the company brand with its own logo and products named directly after it (like Meta Quest).
I honestly thought Comcast just bought xfinity at some point. Also fuck xfinity

I think they DID buy xfinity, then used the name because they were done wiping their ass with “comcast”. I only say this because I distinctly remember having both xfinity and comcast showing up as internet options on some old house listings.
xfinity wasn’t an acquisition, it was just comcast rebranding trying to separate itself from the stank of comcast. It did occur during a time of acquisitions of other cable networks, but that’s been true of comcast for 15ish years. both domains still work for customers.
Ahhh, so it could’ve been a local acquisition changing their names on ads before Comcast finished the job, or maybe vice-versa somehow. Interesting.

An imbecile narcissist. He probably thought he could literally take over the mindshare of “x”. Megalomania seems like his brand, though, so no surprises there.
I’m just glad he’s not an American so he can’t become the next Trump.

In defense of Zuckerberg – and there’s something I never thought I’d say – they changed the name of the company so that they could introduce new brands. They were not dumb enough to rebrand the successful products. It’s just now Facebook by Meta.
Oculus quest, though I guess it wasn’t actually a success
Oculus is by far an infinitely superior brand name
That I agree with
Damn, I’ve been doing it wrong! I thought X was pronounced TEN.
#twitter sucks.
It could be “Xitter” Pronounced “Shitter” and the hashtag is now a fashtag.
Copied from elsewhere…I am not original.
Good ideas are meant to be spread.
… And all of this could have been avoided if he just renamed it “Twitter by X”, so make Twitter part of the X super-app that he wanted to build.

Rudy Giuliani is only other person who’s character arc perfectly matches Melon’s. Melon speed ran the whole arc though
Ok, I won’t. I’ll call Xitter.
I really like the idea of calling it either Twitter or Ten, because at least it’s a word and it’s certainly not what the chief twat had in mind either way.
Xitter
Yep. One of many reasons I’m not catering to the whims of a billionaire and calling it what he wants it to be called. It’s going to continue to be Twitter as far as I’m concerned.
I just pronounce the new name as “ks” since that’s the sound which the letter X generally makes and it irritates sycophants. Also, if the site URL still has Twitter as its base then it’s still an acceptable name

ex-twitter
“ecks” : lame , boring, predictable
“ks” : spicy, pedantic, taunting
“key” : transcendent, enlightened, the true way
