    I’m just cracking up over here at how no one is calling it “X.” Not a single news story I’ve seen on this so far has called Elon’s lil app anything but “Twitter” in the headline.

    That rebranding is going great! 🤣

      Maybe he should stop deadnaming his own child first.

        My family won’t even stop deadnaming me. I’m not even trans, they just don’t really care.

      Tbf news articles nowadays mostly focus on SEO and driving engagement. A single letter is the worst thing for SEO. Even suffixing it with Corp can’t overcome that. It just reiterates how big of a moron musk is. But well, at least we get front row seats to someone setting billions on fire.

      I wish users did that more often. Is there any reason to say “Meta” instead of “Facebook”?

        Well it makes sense when referring to the company because they own a bunch of popular brands like Instagram, WhatsApp, etc. Twitter just has Twitter so it doesn’t matter as much.

          I don’t understand. What’s does saying “Meta owns WhatsApp” do which saying “Facebook owns WhatsApp” does not do? A disadvantage is my non-tech literate coworkers and family probably wouldn’t know what I’m talking if I said Meta.
