How long before reports of someone posting onto X, will they stop also reporting as:
X, the platform formerly known as Twitter?
Gee, if the "formerly" reference is forever, maybe Elon might wish to rename it back to Twitter!

It wasn't too long before Nissan stopped saying: Nissan, the company formerly known as Datsun.

Disclaimer: I have never ever used Twitter or X...no desire to use that.

If that is the case then Musk failed because he really wanted the Twitter name to be gone for good.

Like John Wayne (born Marion Robert Morrison) or Muhammad Ali (born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr.)

It will be Twitter, the platform formerly known as X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

Yeah, I've been thinking the same thing. I don't think it will stop because "X" is not a very good name. This is like the unpronounceable name that Prince chose for himself. "The artist formerly known as Prince."

Unlike Musk, Prince had a very good reason for the name change: due to contract BS, his record company owned his name.

He's using the letter X to make the connection to his other success...Space X.

Always ahead of the curve...

But if he can't get people to call it X then I think he will sell it.
