    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”

          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.
