X? Can we collectively decide to forever call it "X, formerly known as Twitter" just to piss him off?
I like the most recent The Verge variant: Twitter, X, or whatever it’s currently called...
TwiX is unfortunately already taken.
Damn, I could go for a twix bar right about now.
I call it Xitter. The X is pronounced with an "sh" sound.
Exitter is also a valid prononciation
I saw someone on Mastodon say something along the lines of "I'll continue to deadname Twitter for as long as Musk continues to deadname his daughter" and I love that sentiment.
daaaaaaamn. That's brilliant.
Better to just call it “The site formerly known as Twitter” and don't mention X at all. That would piss him off more.
"...posted on social media..."
Ooh, even better!
Seems like it will be the website formerly known as existing soon enough.
I just call it Twitter. Just like I call the (former?) rapper Kanye West. I don't cater to the whims of the 1% if I can help it.
