"What about X and a space, either before or after?" software developer Yusuf Alp suggested a potential workaround in response to Berlin's post.
"He already has a company called SpaceX," chuckled Berlin.
Gold.
This is amazing :)
Trailing and leading spaces are almost always trimmed in such cases, but that is indeed very funny.
This could very well indicate resentment of Twitter employees, they were told to change name to X, they tried and it didn't work, so they did nothing else.
Perfect example of notmyjob.
That took me way too long to get lol
This is your hourly reminder that being born into a family that owns an emerald mine doesn't automatically make you a fucking genius
I don't know what's sadder, that he tried to say that the Emerald Mine was a myth or that my Libertarian friends bought that shit.
Your friends being duped is much sadder. Its understandable why he would lie about that. It exposes him as a silver spoon munching brat that what born on 3rd base and thinks he hit a triple.
Your friends not being skeptical enough to see through the bullshit is sad. Anyone being a fanboy of one of these clowns is sad.

I'm sure this won't end up being a huge deal, but the funny part is that this apparently wasn't planned for. Gives you some insight into how much of a shit show Twitter/X HQ must be right now.
I think it's fait to just call it Twitter and not "x" or "twitter/x" or "x social" or "Twitter but actually x"
X will never stick 😅
I think I’m okay with it being referred to as “the social media network formerly known as Twitter” from here on out.
I'm not. Prince was awesome. He changed his name to a symbol because Warner Bros trademarked his name and wouldn't let him do what he wanted with his own music. People started calling him The Artist Formally Know as Prince. But the reason was ignored and everyone made fun of him.
Musk is an idiot and loser and shouldn't be even tangentially compared to Prince.
I much prefer to call it "10"
Call it "no", or maybe "close button".
This might hurt a little, but I don’t think most people today know who Prince is. I just know that he was a musician. That sentence is also a commonly used sentence in such scenarios, unrelated to one person.
eX-Twitter.
“Elon, stop trying to make X happen. It’s not going to happen.”
It was cool in the 90s like i in front of a word was cool in the 00/10s. That was his era.
Lol awesome. Fuck Elon Musk.
no thanks. I don't fuck manbabies.
Seems obvious. They should just add 2 more X's.
I would prefer if they add one x on either side.
xXx - Sponsored by Vin Diesel?
It's more fitting than most people might realize with how their "For You" section now shows you full nudity every 5th posts.
Pretty easy solution. Just show it in the App Store as “X - A Social Media App” or some shit
"The App Formerly Know as Twitter"
The Prince solution, I like it.
Apple discourages adding subtitle as part of the app name and I don't recall ever seeing one, so they might even disallow it.
It's quite something how Twitter has been constantly tinkered with since musk took over, and instead of making any tangible improvements, it's actually just created more mess.
Inb4 he throws an ego-driven temper tantrum because they won’t make an exception to a rule that has existed since the dawn of the app store specifically for his special ass.
“Did you know Steve Jobs was a pedo?” “Oh shut up, Elon.”
Good old minimum character validation
I admittedly didn’t read the article. Is that the reason or does someone already have an app called X? Either way they can just call it like “X - Formerly known as Twitter” but he’s probably too childish to do that.
Good. I'm all for (even the smallest) confrontations between shitty billionaires and/or shitty corporations.
Right? Shit politicians too. Ron DeSantis got me rootin' for fucking Disney. I hate Disney in general, but I wish they'd play more serious Illuminati hardball with DeSantis.
X for Twitter
X FOR iOS is probably better. But being an app developer and dealing with apple bullshit so many times I'm frothing over how delicious this snack is.
Everytime you post/upvote Musk spam he gets free marketing. Downvote this shit.
Ten
That news is actually funny 😁
Did they try “X”?
They should try 𝕏
X, by X Corp? Fuck Elon btw
Can they just do “-X-“? Just as stupid, but whatever.
I vote for xX-[X]-Xx
Alas, this being the darkest timeline, we'll probably end up with X Social.
