Which is it? Twitter or X?

[Bigbacardi]

I am tired of seeing news articles that refer to X as formally known as Twitter.
Who does this social media platform think they are? Prince? Or the artist for all known as Prince?
Stoopid rebrand....for both the platform & the singer.
I don't even tweet, but am completely sick of hearing it referred to as ..... X, formally known as Twitter....
Any thoughts? Or is it just me?

If social media sites were to completely disappear, I definitely wouldn’t be missing any of them at all.

No, it's not just you.
Literally I thought the exact same thing just 2 days ago.
We know what "X" is, no need to repeat that it used to be Twitter.

Maybe Musk will change the name back to Twitter, then it could be Twitter, formerly known as X, formerly known as twitter

if the Monty Python group were still about, this would definitely be a skit.
Similar to pop bands changing names :

Dead Monkeys are to split up again, according to their manager, Lefty Goldblatt. They've been in the business now ten years, nine as other groups. Originally the Dead Salmon, they became for a while, Trout. Then Fried Trout, then Poached Trout In A White Wine Sauce, and finally, Herring. Splitting up for nearly a month, they re-formed as Red Herring, which became Dead Herring for a while, and then Dead Loss, which reflected the current state of the group. Splitting up again to get their heads together, they reformed a fortnight later as Heads Together, a tight little name which lasted them through a difficult period when their drummer was suspected of suffering from death. It turned out to be only a rumor and they became Dead Together, then Dead Gear, which lead to Dead Donkeys, Lead Donkeys, and the inevitable split up. After nearly ten days, they reformed again as Sole Marnier, then Dead Sole, Rock Cod, Turbot, Haddock, White Baith, the Places, Fish, Bream, Mackerel, Salmon, Poached Salmon, Poached Salmon In A White Wine Sauce, Salmon Marnier, and Helen Shapiro. This last name, their favorite, had to be dropped following an injunction and they split up again. When they reformed after a recordbreaking two days, they ditched the fishy references and became Dead Monkeys, a name which they stuck with for the rest of their careers. Now, a fortnight later, they've finally split up.

Excuse me while I turn down the music... was just listening to the artist formerly known as Prince.

I remember when something was called Brand X and it was a bad thing.

Hmmm...

[normaM]

don't forget X Files
"The truth is out there, but so are lies." yea, describes X, formerly known as Twitter
Prince kept that symbol he used for 7 years

[MCB]

Could compromise and call it TwiXter!

[JLives]

It's Twitter. Always will be.

Shame on all of you for deadnaming the platform that now identifies as X I hears it's a big no-no with millennials...
