    sorry, I’m not gonna call it X

    I have mixed feelings about this one.

    Should I call it X because all that was cool about Twitter is now dead so it would make sense to stop giving that terrible social network any credit from the former one?

    Or should I continue to call it Twitter because I know it will infuriate Musk that no one recognise X as his own company?

    Or should I use a totally different name that everybody will understand, like say The dead bird, and kill two birds with one stone?

      Nah, Musk has been trying to co-opt the 24th letter of the alphabet for 30 years, he’s a wannabe Steve Jobs and he wants his own one letter legacy.

      The only thing the rebranding has done is make Twitter an X-platform (pun intended).

        Indeed.

        I had it in mind TBH

        But “bird site” doesn’t sound as bad as “dead bird”

      Calling it Twitter is a reminder that the product/site used to be pretty interesting instead of a broken right wing child sex abuse platform

      Do what Elon does with his kid. Dead name it to annoy Elon. Also shame on him for dead naming and misgendering his own child.

      you wouldn’t really be killing 2 birds with 1 stone. You’d be beating a dead bird with the stone, though
