lol at, "the organizers said on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter." I love how this is journalism is handling this switch.
Even Twitter can't avoid it. Anytime an email comes to my mailbox it's "X, Formally known as twitter"
Heavy vibes from Ƭ̵̬̊, the artist formerly known as Prince.
Wonder if they're just casually owning it with pride.
I wonder if this will be used as a metric ever. When switching a prominent company name, how long it takes to fully adopt.
It feels like the most stupid rebrand ever. Since it isn’t a name but a random letter elon thinks is cool, it always requires some clarification in conversations, or even in text form because it might as well be a typo or something. If it ever takes root before the platform sinks into obscurity is a really open bet.
It would be really nice if everyone just ignored the rebrand and kept calling it twitter.
It’d be nice if people left so Elon could sell it at a huge loss and we could get it back

This tweet is made possible in part by funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
And, by contributions to your Twitterspace instance, by users like you
Thank you.
(And I know you read it in the voice heh heh heh)

They’ve all been doing this. Probably because they anticipate it will revert back to Twitter at some point.
