I still don’t get how - with such a perfect tee-up - we settled on “X, the platform formerly known as Twitter”.
Besides, imagining Musks reaction to this tickles me slightly.
😕 🤚 X, formerly known as Twitter
😎 👉 Xitter, pronounced as Shitter
Didn’t South Park call it Shitter first?
Scary how prophetic satire is
I’ll call it Twatter until the day I die
While it still says “twitter.com” in the SSL certificate, that’s still it’s name. It is still called Twitter.
It is referencing Prince. He went by a symbol and people called him, The Artist (Formerly Known as Prince).

The trouble with that is that it shows a certain amount of respect
And it’s owned by the X billionaire Elon Musk.
Hopefully, he’ll soon be an ex-billionaire.
Honestly, I was just hoping it might help him realize how dumb X sounds to everyone else.
Site: Twatter. Users: Twats.
I’ve already posted this elsewhere but
i have a longing for the day when Twitter is bailed out because it’s tOo BIg to fAiL
I prefer “used-to-be-twitter.” I think it captures the context better, and it’s clunky, as it should be.
I’ll have to think about it, meanwhile I’ll keep calling twitter, twitter.
Because ex-Twitter doesn’t get the same SEO as Twitter nor X.
I still prefer to write it “xitter” pronounced as “shitter”.
I still prefer to write “Twitter” because fuck X and Musk
And Spez
Why are we still talking about it? Yesterday’s news, man.
