I always call it FaceBook Inc. It’s absurd that that shit has always gone right past everyones observation. Prolly still clicking because upon seeing it you’re ass will do the denial your damn self instead of reading it upside down: zero responsibility for maintenance of spying products handle when a corporation is doing the gig and not the gorramn government.
I never liked Twitter that much to begin with, but it’s definitely not the same thing as it used to be. I’m fine with calling it X instead of Twitter because of that. X is a stupid name for a stupid social media platform. It’s fitting. It’s definitely not Twitter anymore, which ever way you want to look at it.
Whenever it occurs in spoken conversation, I call it X to highlight the absurdity of the rebranding. The other person either needs an explanation or a few seconds to figure out what I mean.
I listen to NPR regularly and their people seem to like saying “Twitter, which is now known as X.” I dunno why though. I guess if someone doesn’t know?
Or you could call it what Linus on Wan show by Linus Tech Tips YT channel made up: ex-TwitterYou essentially say both of the names and the fact that Twitter is the “old name”. But as a F-u to Musk, we should just call it Twitter.
Whatever floats your boat! There are multiple ways of calling it and I’ve just pointed out the one I find the funniest. What we can all agree on is that renaming Twitter was a bad idea. (and everything else he did also)
