Elon Musk said Saturday "sad truth is that there are no great 'social networks' right now."

    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.

      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.

      Better to just call it “The site formerly known as Twitter” and don’t mention X at all. That would piss him off more.

      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.
