I’m genuinely curious about peoples thoughts on this.
It made sense for a while. But the branding change was 16 months ago. The URI change was 3 months ago. Everybody knows now what X is. Yet for some reason, I still see in news stories today:
“… on X — formerly known as Twitter — and said …”
I really don’t think that’s needed anymore. But I’m always one to want changes as fast and painless as possible.
So what do you think would be an appropriate amount of time to keep reminding everyone that Twitter is now X?
Months?
Years?
How many?
I’ll keep calling it twitter as long as musk keeps deadnaming his daughter
Which daughter, what’s the source for that?
Edit: I have now been provided with a source, thanks!
Vivian. She publicly denounced him, changed her name, and gave an interview about how horrible musk is as a father. There are many articles written about this, here is just one.
Thanks!

This might not be to anyone’s satisfaction though because it suggests he doesn’t refer to Vivian at all, considering her “dead”, not actually deadnaming her, per se.
So you’ll call it X if he becomes a good parent?
Ha! Fat chance of that happening.
I dunno, maybe.
