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.

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

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

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.

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

    No. I’m trolling. But Musk is going so far of the rails it’s plausible.

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.
