    Instead of renaming it to “X,” Elon magically renamed his platform to “X, formerly known as Twitter.”

      It annoys me more than it should every time I read that. Like one person gets to sit down every day and make some proclamation, and now everyone else has to go along with it.

      I’m not sure what is better, but even something like “X/Twitter” might be easier than repeatedly saying “X, formerly known as Twitter”

          I love the /-style of writing it, precisely because of the way it would be pronounced.
