Muscle wanted a swastika, but the PR department said hard no. After firing half the department, they still said no and proposed using X instead as it’s close enough. Musk had been pretending it was his idea since then.
Comment on Twitter / X is losing daily active users. CEO Linda Yaccarino confirmed it.

It’s honestly fucking hilarious how hard Musk has Trumped this company.
People are still going to call it twitter and tweeting because it’s usable in a sentence. Calling it “x” is a thoroughbred-mouthbreather move. For example:
“Twitter tweeted an announcement that it would add disclaimers to tweets with misleading and false information regarding voter fraud”
“X x’d an announcement that it would add disclaimers to x’s that american elections are rigged and Trump and Musk are totally not the swamp they complain about”
“Blaze your glory!”
At a certain point it’s not trolling, you’re just being a retard.

This looks like a sci-fi nazi symbol in a book after the author decided to stop being subtle.

Any actual sources on this?
SlopppyEngineer@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
No. I’m trolling. But Musk is going so far of the rails it’s plausible.

Well, your Timing couldnt be better. Just read about the Tesla harrassment lawsuit from October 1 I believe, which includes swastikas in office buildings…

Calling it “x” is a thoroughbred-mouthbreather move.
I’m calling it X. That site doesn’t deserve to be called Twitter anymore. Let them lose the recognizable brand and cling onto a random letter that makes searches and discussions about it much harder.

It’s not “x’d”, the preferred term is “x-creted”.

X-itter Pronounced Shitter is the best name I have heard.

I prefer to call it Xitter, and the posts Xits.

Be sure to pronounce the “x” as in Chinese pinyin.
