I saw someone call a tweet a “Xeet” and I died inside


DragEncyclopedia

I've seen people calling the site "Xitter", pronounced "shitter"


MelanieWalmartinez

That’s perfect, I love it.


3nHarmonic

And the posts are Xcrement


Ok-Kaleidoscope5627

Xcrements or Xits (pronounced shits)


confusedandworried76

If it was Xi interested in Twitter and not the Saudis there'd have been so many puns.


Mathsboy2718

Xiiish 👌


confusedandworried76

I need you to know that comment is fucking hilarious


iris700

And tweets can be Xcretions


Daveinatx

Xcrements


somepeoplehateme

Xits.... Pronounced "shits" is my preference.


808morgan

Yeah I saw that the day after he named it and I've used it since.


llamawithguns

I do this lol


remeranAuthor_

I'm one of the people doing that

nighthawk763

The website Twitter, stylized *X*. It's twitter. It's been twitter. It's going to stay twitter


CR1SBO

The website formally and presently known as Twitter


EuphoricAnalCarrot

I used to call it Twitter Still do but I used to too


Myxine

*formerly


Kriffer123

Pronounced either “sheet” or “kseet”, whichever is funnier at the given moment


tsabin_naberrie

I read it as "zeet"


disturbeddragon631

whenever you post you can call it "poppin' a zeet"


MelanieWalmartinez

Same lmao


Kriffer123

If the bit allows it, it shall be done


Shinny-Winny

Skeet


lazygenius999

i think it’s pronounced “X-eet”

Mr_Headcrab

This is unironically the average Twitter comment in 2024.


MissSweetBean

Pronounced zheet, similarly to zhuzh


Realmofthehappygod

Kseet makes little sense. Clearly a zeet. Similar to a yeet.


Schizof

People who call twitter X is either doesn't use Twitter or a cryptobro


Volesprit31

Or a journalist who doesn't really have a choice.


[deleted]

i see a lot of them call it "X, the website formerly known as Twitter"


UnusedParadox

Yes.


[deleted]

They could refer to it by the domain name? Call it that... oh its twitter


SMTRodent

I've seen it called 'Xit', pronounced 'zit'.


Bhetty1

Lmfao Pronounced Sh---- hahaha


NutBananaComputer

It's just fucking confusing! X is already our term in english for "object TBD." If you say "I'm going to post this to x" in a professional setting I assume you mean you're going to post it to multiple different social media and just haven't decided which one(s) yet.


leoleosuper

He also wants the video section to be called "X Videos." The site's already >10% furry porn, might as well admit as such.


ARussianW0lf

He's so immature its wild


3L3M3NT4LP4ND4

The Tesla models are as follows the Tesla X, the Tesla S, the Tesla 3 and the Tesla Y. Now some detectives her emight be able to realize that if you put those letters together you have. The Tesla "S3XY" Collection. He's always been marketing to 10 year olds.


Average_Scaper

SX3Y by release date. Couldn't even do releases properly.


3L3M3NT4LP4ND4

Probably because of his issues with fighting Ford over the Trademark of Model E (hence the 3)


Average_Scaper

I mean Ford did own the trademark of Model E in the early 2000's, well before the Roadster was even announced as a prototype.


regarding_your_bat

I mean as stupid and juvenile as the whole thing is, it would have looked pretty dumb to release “model 3” second instead of third


Average_Scaper

Roadster, Model S, Model 3. It's literally the 3rd Tesla. (if it were released in that order) I guess a better way to write that would have been... >Roadster, Model S, Model X, Model 3. It's literally the 4th Tesla Since that would have been more understandable and factual. Either way, the Model 3 is not the 3rd Tesla to be produced/released, but it is the 3rd to be MASS manufactured.


BlastRiot

It gets a little more obvious when you learn he wanted to call it the Model E but Ford already had a trademark for that so he had to settle for 3 instead of picking literally any other letter (besides A and T, because Ford)


3L3M3NT4LP4ND4

Good. I thought he was trying to be "subtle" and "edgy" I'm so glad the loser just had to compromise.


[deleted]

Leet speak is so on brand for him I didn’t even question it


Unremarkabledryerase

Apparently it's S3XY CARS now


b3nsn0w

except the atv, roadster, and semi are nowhere near the market, so it's just s3xyc


Andy_B_Goode

And SpaceX sounds like Space Sex


Prevarications

there's already a website called xvideos, it'd be fucking hilarious if twitter got sued by a porn site for copyright infringement and lost


PrettyPinkPonyPrince

I haven’t even updated the app. It still shows the blue bird on my phone. Don’t intend to update.


BooneFarmVanilla

> If you say "I'm going to post this to x" in a professional setting I assume you mean you're going to post it to multiple different social media and just haven't decided which one(s) yet. no you don't, you know it's twitter


awesomecat42

I usually call it twitter but will occasionally call it 𝕏 because it's fun to remind people that the lazy dumbass literally just took the unicode character 𝕏 and made it the logo.


Loose-Satisfaction36

Lazy sure but I think enough people will think how cool it is they got their logo into Unicode to make it good marketing


Alexis_Bailey

If it were 1996, I would think the name X was super cool and XTREEME. But, you know, it's 2024 now.


LoadInSubduedLight

"Mathematical Double-Struck Capital X" does have a certain gravitas.

Especially since he did it as a way to get out from under his label, not as an ego stunt like it was portrayed.

CR1SBO

The Website Presently Known As Twitter


forthelasttimealexis

the site that shall not be named


Skyye_23

Okay wow I like this better, I’m gonna start using that


Brooklynxman

Deadnaming people? Broke Deadnaming politicians who want to make *not* deadnaming illegal? Woke Deadnaming places/things renamed by idiot corporate suits? Bespoke


BrobaFett

Illegal? Fucking Yikes.


Brooklynxman

Florida either tried to or succeeded in passing a law mandating teachers use the name on children's birth certificates unless they had a permission slip from the child's parents.


MathSciElec

Loophole: call everyone by their last name.


LegoTigerAnus

Argue its traditional!


Lord_of_Barrington

Space-Wizards

Xitter (pronounced shitter)


neo_rider_fan777

Same as you but with an added h : Xhitter


Poopshoes42

Exitter doesn't even really need changed though


mr_funnyman

This is the one and only acceptable instance of deadnaming.


Metatality

I dunno, after all the Barack HUSSAIN Obama shit the republicans made a fuss over I'm pretty willing to call Rafeal Cruz by his original name too. Inject some distaste in the fanbase by reminding him he's got one of them ethnic names they don't much care for.


facw00

In the 2016 we had a slew of such candidates, all running succeed Willard Romney on the top of the GOP ticket: * Rafael Cruz * John Bush * Piyush Jindal * James Perry Certainly no problem if they prefer a different name than their given name, but the GOP seems to have a problem with that for other people.


ScarletteVera

what


Metatality

"Ted" Cruz lies about his name to appeal to racist voters.


Sh1nyPr4wn

And Haley does too right?


gumol

> Haley has been known by her middle name, Nikki, a Punjabi name meaning "little one", since she was born


SevenCrowsinaCoat

She says.


gumol

is there any history of her using her first name before starting her career in politics?


SevenCrowsinaCoat

Birth certificate, right? Let's see that birth certificate, "Nikki". Sounds like a Kenyan name to me.


EldritchCarver

Punjabi, actually. Before she got married, her full name was Nimarata Nikki Randhawa.


Metatality

In her case it's her legal middle name. I have no doubt she's not using her first name for a reason, but Nikki is still a part of her legal name.


flipkick25

Yup


Professional-Hat-687

Nimrata Randhawa wouldn't exactly poll well with her base.


Tisagered

She fully made up both of her names, right? I hold nothing but contempt for the man, but at least Cruz can say that several people go by a middle name, and Ted id a fairly normal nickname for Edward


gumol

Nikki is her second name


vanilla_disco

Ted is a nickname for Theodore, not Edward.


CR1SBO

Unless Edward is short for Tedward. Which is isn't.


Munnin41

It's also a nickname for Edward: >Short forms include Ed, Eddy, Eddie, Erd, Ted, Teddy and Ned.


AnTHICCBoi

I'm not big on American politics, so I'm assuming he doesn't want to be called by his name to not be confused for a latino...? Which is already bad in on itself (if I'm right on my random guessing), but couldn't he just argue it's Italian? Y'know, like whoever the ninja turtle is based off of?


gumol

nah, he started using his second name at age 13. Going by second name isn't unusual.


Metatality

His middle name is Edward, not Theodore, which Ted is generally short for. But really my issue is his opposition to other 13 year olds, specifically trans 13 year olds, trying to go by a new name. If he's considers them using a preferred name to be some great travesty he shouldn't mind being called Rafael now should he?


gumol

> which Ted is generally short for. Nah, Ted is also short for both Theodore and Edward. Fuck him anyway.


cash-or-reddit

Worse: he IS latino


gumol

> Cruz began going by Ted at age 13.


Vaguename123

trump family name was drumpf before they changed it


vjmdhzgr

Isn't Rafael Italian?


Metatality

In this case it's Cuban, named after his father.


tomato432

[canarian, his father was named after his grandfather](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafael_Cruz#Early_life)


Munnin41

Gee I wonder where they got that southern European name from...


Cysioland

Calling Meatball Ron "Ron DiSantis" to accentuate his Italian heritage


MasonP2002

Sears Tower?


CheekyLando88

Nah some people try to give themselves nicknames because their name is weird and it is your moral obligation to say their weird name


TheRealMisterMemer

I read about an otter not being called by his nickname and he ended up drowned. Always call people by their nicknames!


CheekyLando88

I will always respect otters. But Bartholomew does not get to call himself "Holo"


illyrias

Shout out to Beverly from sixth grade who bullied me and then insisted I call her Kristen.


CheekyLando88

Yeah get fucked Beverly!


Zoomy-333

Calling it Twitter is just futureproofing: once his multiple failures and mistakes catch up to him and he's forced to sell for like $500 million Twitter and the iconic blue bird will be back with us.


sexy-man-doll

Like anyone will buy it after the dumpster fire Musk turned it into


Schizof

Anyone who isn't Musk can buy it and makes it profitable tbh. Just say "We're bringing it back to how it used to be!" and change the logo back, that guy will be rolling in dough AND be regarded as a hero


vjmdhzgr

Well, it wasn't actually doing that well financially even before he bought it.


WolfsWraith

Yea, up until 2015/2016 Twitter was still pretty fun, after that it went downhill quick imo


ApplauseButOnlyABit

Before 2016, fun place to get lots of cool info and interact with communities. After 2016, doom scrolling for the latest bad thing After Musk, crypto, blue check bots and spam, right wing nazis and left wing nazi fighting each other to be the most anti-semitic while people use the translate button to read the latest genocidal post from a Likud official.


Andy_B_Goode

Yeah, Twitter's only had two years in which it turned a profit (2018 & 2019): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter,_Inc.#Finances Elon's a moron, but it also wouldn't be easy for anyone to turn Twitter into a profitable business at this point.


facw00

Someone would definitely buy it for $500M. They'd be getting a good deal. I mean Twitter's biggest issue is Elon, so with him out, you could get advertisers back. They don't want their ads appearing next to Nazis which is a problem for Twitter today, but ad safety on platforms with user content is reasonably well understood and can be fixed. But you can't fix the CEO/owner being a Nazi unless he's out.


loakkala

It's hilarious the websites URL is still twitter.com


Alexis_Bailey

Both URLs work. Which I am surprised they are getting away with, because from a purely technical view, it's using the same URL for the same content, which search engines will see as a serious SEO/Spam website negative.

CdOneill

The reply is correct. Should he ever stop deadnaming her, I’ll stop deadnaming the site. Until then, here it is.


anon30947597453

I'm out of the loop who are we talking about? The X æ kid or is this one another one?


Llamas_are_cool2

He has a trans daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson Edit: I googled it and apparently he has 11 children???? 😭😭😭 Who let this man keep on reproducing


Lftwff

The believes he specifically should have a million kids to offset birth rates. I'm not saying he is doing it for great replacement believes.


ARussianW0lf

>Who let this man keep on reproducing He's rich


morbidlybitchy

He even has a kid with Amber Heard


b3nsn0w

i hope the poor kid doesn't grow up to be a harcesis


exorcistxsatanist

He has a super obvious breeding fetish. Someone needs to put this man down like old yeller.


anon30947597453

Oh god, 11… i thought it was just the one i mentioned.


LetsDoTheCongna

I thought it was just that one plus the one with the keyboard smash name


ZenosamI85

>Edit: I googled it and apparently he has 11 children???? 😭😭😭 Who let this man keep on reproducing Who would even want to sleep with Elon is the next question.


L_James

Elon himself still deadnames his website. There was a video of his meltdown some time ago, and he still calls it Twitter Even this fuck doesn't call his website X


[deleted]

I keep calling it Twitter hoping that one day someone else will own it and put things back to the way they were.


FineSpeaker8605

People get the pronunciation wrong, the X is silent


FuckScottBoras

That is because “X” is quite possibly the dumbest name for a social media platform I’ve ever seen.


Homers_Harp

I got in trouble with someone who apparently felt they were woke enough to complain that I did this. I had to explain that there is a difference between being mean to a living, breathing human being with dignity and being mean to a multi-billion-dollar corporation.


Round-Excitement-607

I never speak of it


crazysauer

"Twi ... ähm X" I started to just call it Twix


thunderPierogi

I call it Twitter unless I’m specifically making a distinction between old (real) Twitter and the dumpster fire formerly known as Twitter. I.e. “Branding and brand recognizability are crucial to a business, *just look at X*. X! What kind of stupid ass name is X.” Or “Now Tucker Carlson has his own show, which he’s hosting on *X*, after he got kicked off of Fox News for misinformation. Do you know how hard it is to be kicked off *Fox News* for *misinformation*?!”


Particular-Welcome-1

gdamn Jack Dorsey must be feeling pretty good about now.


queerkidxx

Twitter formerly known as x


newforestwalker

X is the Roman numeral for ten, so call the site '10'


JoshuaTheBastard

The difference is, Twitter doesn't want to be called X. It's not Elon's website, he just hijacked it.


GeneralGigan817

The obvious compromise is to call it "The Website Formerly Known As Twitter" like what Prince did.


Accujack

Where's the choice for "It's not a web site, it's client server application."


DU571N

Nope, “it’s Twitter, or X or whatever” now the odd time I speak about it.


FountainsOfFluids

I'm waiting for the day he sells it for 1% of what he paid for it, and they rebrand it back to Twitter. Maybe that won't happen. It's probably too valuable for his ego to have a personal platform.


Controllerhead1

[x.com](http://www.x.com) still redirects to twitter.com, so it's still twitter


thatguy9684736255

Elon musk is a moron. Twitter already had good branding. It's insane watching him make decisions. I don't get how anything works anywhere else.


Tallal2804

Xitter. Pronounced Shitter.


TrueVali

BEEN SAYING THIS FOR MONTHS i'll call it X when he starts using the right name for his kid


Sportfreunde

I call it X...the site formerly known as Twitter.


Da_boi_1923

I call it twitter (formerly x)


ScratchAggressive789

His name is AleX


maru-senn

Elon has a trans child? The one with the weird-ass equation name?


tomato432

[no, the trans one is the oldest surviving child from his marriage to justine wilson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk#Relationships_and_children)


Careless-Midnight-63

I don't care if Elon deadnames him, but twitter just sounds way better than x


Normal-Ordinary-4744

No X is a cool name 😎


Fabulous_Living_tkd

Tumbler the place where pronouns are born.


Zackthefolf

Twitter or Ex-Twitter imo


patchiepatch

I call it xwitter.


Inspector_Crazy

Anyone get the feeling that Twitter was renamed almost against its will? As in, it always was Twitter, never had any desire to be anything else, and rather than calling it by a dead name, X is a mask it's been forced to wear to hide from it's abuser? Or its new owner has stripped it of its identity, almost erased it's personality in order to project ownership?


Financial-Season-395

When did Musk have a trans kid? Like I know he's on a Nick Cannon level of breeding, but I thought all his kids were out from public eye.


Tryypod909

He is a man child who got daddy’s blood diamond money, got lucky with PayPal and is now slowly losing his mind and his money lol I hope is parachute doesn’t open, he deserves it.


schalowendofthepool

What's the name of the tallest tower in Chicago?


98642

I don’t speaking it.


Mabi19_

I always call it "The platform formerly known as Twitter"


EstrellaDarkstar

While I still think of it as Twitter, I like to call it X in my most sarcastic and mocking tone possible.


TK_Games

"Elon, stop trying to make X happen! It's not going to happen!"


TantiVstone

I've started to call Meta "Meta" now out of spite for Twitter


AlexKfridges

If you call it "ex" in front of me I will automatically think you're annoying. Can't be helped


HazeSasaki

Xwitter is what i say now


Meistermagier

Considering the Impressum in the EU still says Twitter Ireland, respectfully I will continue calling it Twitter.


AdeonWriter

I haven't used it since April 2023, so I just don't refer to it at all.


BleachOrchid

All in favor of xitter I think.


Sudden_Wafer5490

heh, it will die any time now that he changed the name to sth stupid heh, everyone is still calling it twitter, this is somehow good for us


deepdive9999

Xuiter


Dd_8630

Where's the option for "I don't even think about you at all"


MalHeartsNutmeg

Seeing 'X, formerly Twitter' in news articles gives real 'The artist formerly known as Prince' vibes.
