I was thinking X-Files, but apparently I'm way off base. And after a quick google, this is a real thing and not a joke. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/24/technology/twitter-x-elon-musk.html#:~:text=%E2%80%9CTweeps%E2%80%9D%20became%20the%20moniker%20for,letter%20of%20the%20Latin%20alphabet

Mr. Musk had long said he might make the name change, but he hastened the process in a tweet early Sunday when he declared that “soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds.” He has said he hopes to turn Twitter into an “everything app” called X, which would encompass not only social networking but also banking and shopping.

So this is what a boring dystopia looks like.
