          It’s a joke based on what Prince was referred to as, in the '90s and '00s. He changed his name to some crazy symbol that no one knew how to pronounce, and he wouldn’t clarify, so the media just referred to him as, “the artist formerly known as Prince.”

            You missed the real joke.

            “So Twitter.” is a way of saying “Fuck Elon, stil gonna call it Twitter.” ;)

              Seems, based on the other commenter’s reply that we whooshed each other. Lol. Thanks for the clarification!

            …And it’s speculated that the reason he did so was to get out of a record label contract with Warner Bros. For his part, it was deliberately unpronounceable.
