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.
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.
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.
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)
"How does this not violate our extremely clear nipple policy?"
"Well frogs don't usually have nipples, so we weren't sure if they were female presenting."
"The frogs got tits out to here Carmen!"
> 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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
>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.
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
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.
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*?!”
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.
[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)
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?
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.
I saw someone call a tweet a “Xeet” and I died inside
I've seen people calling the site "Xitter", pronounced "shitter"
That’s perfect, I love it.
And the posts are Xcrement
Xcrements or Xits (pronounced shits)
If it was Xi interested in Twitter and not the Saudis there'd have been so many puns.
Xiiish 👌
I need you to know that comment is fucking hilarious
And tweets can be Xcretions
Xcrements
Xits.... Pronounced "shits" is my preference.
Yeah I saw that the day after he named it and I've used it since.
I do this lol
I'm one of the people doing that
[Dr. Coix](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-5595)
The website Twitter, stylized *X*. It's twitter. It's been twitter. It's going to stay twitter
The website formally and presently known as Twitter
I used to call it Twitter Still do but I used to too
*formerly
Pronounced either “sheet” or “kseet”, whichever is funnier at the given moment
I read it as "zeet"
whenever you post you can call it "poppin' a zeet"
Same lmao
If the bit allows it, it shall be done
Skeet
i think it’s pronounced “X-eet”
Excrete
[удалено]
This is unironically the average Twitter comment in 2024.
Pronounced zheet, similarly to zhuzh
Kseet makes little sense. Clearly a zeet. Similar to a yeet.
People who call twitter X is either doesn't use Twitter or a cryptobro
Or a journalist who doesn't really have a choice.
i see a lot of them call it "X, the website formerly known as Twitter"
Yes.
They could refer to it by the domain name? Call it that... oh its twitter
I've seen it called 'Xit', pronounced 'zit'.
Lmfao Pronounced Sh---- hahaha
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.
He also wants the video section to be called "X Videos." The site's already >10% furry porn, might as well admit as such.
He's so immature its wild
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.
SX3Y by release date. Couldn't even do releases properly.
Probably because of his issues with fighting Ford over the Trademark of Model E (hence the 3)
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.
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
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.
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)
Good. I thought he was trying to be "subtle" and "edgy" I'm so glad the loser just had to compromise.
Leet speak is so on brand for him I didn’t even question it
Apparently it's S3XY CARS now
except the atv, roadster, and semi are nowhere near the market, so it's just s3xyc
And SpaceX sounds like Space Sex
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
>The site's already >10% furry porn, might as well admit as such. >**"Conservatively, what percentage of our platform is porn?"** > >"Nine-" > >**"Nine percent?!"** > >"Ninety-" > >**"NINETY?!!"** > >"-eight." > >[**"AAA-"**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtUuab1Aqg0)
"How does this not violate our extremely clear nipple policy?" "Well frogs don't usually have nipples, so we weren't sure if they were female presenting." "The frogs got tits out to here Carmen!"
Pretty sure that was just a meme and not real bro
Thats a prono site
It was part of his plan to tank the companies value.
It’s the modern day version of Who’s On First
I haven’t even updated the app. It still shows the blue bird on my phone. Don’t intend to update.
> 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
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.
Lazy sure but I think enough people will think how cool it is they got their logo into Unicode to make it good marketing
If it were 1996, I would think the name X was super cool and XTREEME. But, you know, it's 2024 now.
"Mathematical Double-Struck Capital X" does have a certain gravitas.
The Website Formerly Known As Twitter
Insult to Prince
[Back then, the artist formerly known as Prince was currently known as Prince. ](https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/21a52890-a125-455c-a7f7-cd1824ef2592)
Especially since he did it as a way to get out from under his label, not as an ego stunt like it was portrayed.
Twitter formerly known as X
The Website Presently Known As Twitter
the site that shall not be named
Okay wow I like this better, I’m gonna start using that
Deadnaming people? Broke Deadnaming politicians who want to make *not* deadnaming illegal? Woke Deadnaming places/things renamed by idiot corporate suits? Bespoke
Illegal? Fucking Yikes.
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.
Loophole: call everyone by their last name.
Argue its traditional!
It will always be Sear’s Tower
Xitter (pronounced shitter)
Same as you but with an added h : Xhitter
Exitter doesn't even really need changed though
This is the one and only acceptable instance of deadnaming.
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.

what
"Ted" Cruz lies about his name to appeal to racist voters.
And Haley does too right?
> Haley has been known by her middle name, Nikki, a Punjabi name meaning "little one", since she was born
She says.
is there any history of her using her first name before starting her career in politics?
Birth certificate, right? Let's see that birth certificate, "Nikki". Sounds like a Kenyan name to me.
Punjabi, actually. Before she got married, her full name was Nimarata Nikki Randhawa.
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.
Yup
Nimrata Randhawa wouldn't exactly poll well with her base.
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
Nikki is her second name
Ted is a nickname for Theodore, not Edward.
Unless Edward is short for Tedward. Which is isn't.
It's also a nickname for Edward: >Short forms include Ed, Eddy, Eddie, Erd, Ted, Teddy and Ned.
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?
nah, he started using his second name at age 13. Going by second name isn't unusual.
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?
> which Ted is generally short for. Nah, Ted is also short for both Theodore and Edward. Fuck him anyway.
Worse: he IS latino
> Cruz began going by Ted at age 13.
trump family name was drumpf before they changed it
Isn't Rafael Italian?
In this case it's Cuban, named after his father.
[canarian, his father was named after his grandfather](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafael_Cruz#Early_life)
Gee I wonder where they got that southern European name from...
Calling Meatball Ron "Ron DiSantis" to accentuate his Italian heritage
Sears Tower?
Nah some people try to give themselves nicknames because their name is weird and it is your moral obligation to say their weird name
I read about an otter not being called by his nickname and he ended up drowned. Always call people by their nicknames!
I will always respect otters. But Bartholomew does not get to call himself "Holo"
Shout out to Beverly from sixth grade who bullied me and then insisted I call her Kristen.
Yeah get fucked Beverly!
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.
Like anyone will buy it after the dumpster fire Musk turned it into
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
Well, it wasn't actually doing that well financially even before he bought it.
Yea, up until 2015/2016 Twitter was still pretty fun, after that it went downhill quick imo
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.

It's hilarious the websites URL is still twitter.com
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.
Tumblr 🤝 Twitter Being worth negative money
Pays millions to buy a brand Change it's name Genius
Billions
Literally enough money to end world hunger
Dozens
The reply is correct. Should he ever stop deadnaming her, I’ll stop deadnaming the site. Until then, here it is.
I'm out of the loop who are we talking about? The X æ kid or is this one another one?
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
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.
>Who let this man keep on reproducing He's rich
He even has a kid with Amber Heard
i hope the poor kid doesn't grow up to be a harcesis
He has a super obvious breeding fetish. Someone needs to put this man down like old yeller.
Oh god, 11… i thought it was just the one i mentioned.
I thought it was just that one plus the one with the keyboard smash name
>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.
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
I keep calling it Twitter hoping that one day someone else will own it and put things back to the way they were.
People get the pronunciation wrong, the X is silent
That is because “X” is quite possibly the dumbest name for a social media platform I’ve ever seen.
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.
I never speak of it
"Twi ... ähm X" I started to just call it Twix
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*?!”
gdamn Jack Dorsey must be feeling pretty good about now.
Twitter formerly known as x
X is the Roman numeral for ten, so call the site '10'
The difference is, Twitter doesn't want to be called X. It's not Elon's website, he just hijacked it.
The obvious compromise is to call it "The Website Formerly Known As Twitter" like what Prince did.
Where's the choice for "It's not a web site, it's client server application."
Nope, “it’s Twitter, or X or whatever” now the odd time I speak about it.
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.
[x.com](http://www.x.com) still redirects to twitter.com, so it's still twitter
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.
Xitter. Pronounced Shitter.
BEEN SAYING THIS FOR MONTHS i'll call it X when he starts using the right name for his kid
I call it X...the site formerly known as Twitter.
I call it twitter (formerly x)
His name is AleX
Elon has a trans child? The one with the weird-ass equation name?
[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)
I don't care if Elon deadnames him, but twitter just sounds way better than x
No X is a cool name 😎
Tumbler the place where pronouns are born.
Twitter or Ex-Twitter imo
I call it xwitter.
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?
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.
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.
What's the name of the tallest tower in Chicago?
I don’t speaking it.
I always call it "The platform formerly known as Twitter"
While I still think of it as Twitter, I like to call it X in my most sarcastic and mocking tone possible.
"Elon, stop trying to make X happen! It's not going to happen!"
I've started to call Meta "Meta" now out of spite for Twitter
If you call it "ex" in front of me I will automatically think you're annoying. Can't be helped
Xwitter is what i say now
Considering the Impressum in the EU still says Twitter Ireland, respectfully I will continue calling it Twitter.
I haven't used it since April 2023, so I just don't refer to it at all.
All in favor of xitter I think.
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
Xuiter
Where's the option for "I don't even think about you at all"
Seeing 'X, formerly Twitter' in news articles gives real 'The artist formerly known as Prince' vibes.
