Tangential, I still find it absurd people accept calling it X instead of Twitter. While I'd generally agree that most companies can change their name, encroaching on a basic letter should be off limits, like naming your company "The" or "God".

Still sticking with Twitter until a reasonable name is found, which by Musk is never.

The worst part, in my opinion, is that people fell for it. Instead of hearing a split second two syllable "twitter", we now keep hearing "X, formerly known as twitter".

That's 8 syllables. You just gave 4x free advertisement for absolutely no good reason. You're the sucker.

I like to shorten it to ex-twitter. Pun intended of course.
