TCFKAT does have a nice ring to it.
(E)x-Twitter
X
Happening now
Join Twitter today.
But how do I join X? You know, the new thing supposedly currently happening? Why would I join boring old twitter now that X is happening?
Genius at work.
Go to twitter.com, it goes "X" and then "Sign in to Twitter".
You missed a spot there Elon. You know what we industry professionals do - it's called a "design process". You:
- Mock up the way you want it to look
- Make it look that way
- Then you push it live.
Bold of you to assume Twitter has test environment. Musky probably decommissioned it for cost cutting.

instead of tweet you now xcrete
Such a genuinely shit name.
I’m not even one of the rabid Musk haters, but it’s just an absolutely dreadful name that a 10 year old thinks is cool…
I fully expect people to still be calling it twitter for a long time.
That's because it's an established brand with a huge value to it. Everyone knows twitter. Only an idiot would throw that away.
I call meta still facebook. fuck this rebranding bullshit to disssociate with shittyness
Meta/Facebook and Google/Alphabet are very different from Twitter/X. The first two created parent companies under which their large brand names still exist, but are now managed along with their other properties (Instagram, ~~Snapchat~~, Waymo, Deepmind, etc.) Musk, meanwhile, is trying to completely burn down the Twitter brand for some incomprehensible reason.
Snapchat isn't owned by meta btw
Years of brand recognition down the drain. Twitter was such a big part of our culture that you literarily have movies, tv shows, music promoting it indirectly.
Less than 1% of Twitter users signed up for blue. Elon, nobody in its right mind wants your WeChat clone.
Great, now rename it to Shitter
Do the "twitter videos" become "x videos" now?
They suspended xvideos.com's account and the rumor is they are considering calling the videos on their platform xvideos... I REALLY REALLY want this to happen.
I want to see the ensuing trademark lawsuit from the owners of xvideo.com
Don't bet on it. Twitter doesn't have to host anyone it doesn't want. TOS and all that.
Guess it's a moot point because as far as I know they didn't end up using that name for their videos.
