X terms of service has right to take back username. X ported his followers over to new account at least, he said. Vaught is still using X, though he did set up account on Threads and Mastodon.

Do you really call Twitter "X"? It sounds like you are talking about porn or you are trying to censure a word πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…

What the fuck was Elon thinking?

Just call it X… without any reference to its former universally known name so that no one knows wtf you are talking about.

sorry, I X'd out of twitter before X X'd twitter, so I can't actually X about Twitter or X on X,

Did you try Xcreting on X about X?

It’s probably the best way to get re Xcreted.

More often, I've seen articles just ignoring the name change and still using the terms "Twitter" and "tweet/tweeted".

i’m okay with either of either of these since it reinforces the stupidity and futility:

  • x, formerly twitter
  • the company formerly known as twitter

I just deadname it and call it twitter. I will continue to do so until it dies just like I do with facebook.

This is the way. I mean, it still refers to 'tweets' as 'tweets' in the fucking app. What a fucking joke. Elon Musk is such a fucking piece of shit. I hope Zuckerburg beats the shit out of him.

I like calling it "x-twitter", as it is short and makes sense when reading it out.

The company who 'Til Recently was known as Twitter.

Xhitter

(pronounced as shitter) Example: when musk gets a call from the zuck about the fight, he makes excuses about being on the xhitter. Sorry zuck, my ______ is paining and I'm on the xhitter, can't fight.
