    sorry, I’m not gonna call it X

    I have mixed feelings about this one.

    Should I call it X because all that was cool about Twitter is now dead so it would make sense to stop giving that terrible social network any credit from the former one?

    Or should I continue to call it Twitter because I know it will infuriate Musk that no one recognise X as his own company?

    Or should I use a totally different name that everybody will understand, like say The dead bird, and kill two birds with one stone?

      Nah, Musk has been trying to co-opt the 24th letter of the alphabet for 30 years, he’s a wannabe Steve Jobs and he wants his own one letter legacy.

      The only thing the rebranding has done is make Twitter an X-platform (pun intended).
