It’s still twitter now and always will be so it doesn’t matter.

Everyone collectively agreed x is stupid and I hope spite will make sure this sentiment never changes

I don’t think ever. Twitter has too big of a brand name and recognition, where X does not, and they’ll keep coasting on it (their emails to you still say “formerly known as Twitter”). News sites and places will keep calling it Twitter because X is too confusing of a name, and certain parts of their reader-base will simply have no idea who it is that they’re on about, and some social media will call it Twitter because X is a silly name, and they do not respect Elon Musk’s rebranding of Twitter in much the same way that he does not respect his daughter’s name or identity.

Never. It will always be just “Twitter”.

We didn’t stop hearing Prince referred to as “the artist formerly known as Prince” until he changed his name from that symbol back to Prince.

I expect the same for the website formerly known as Twitter.

Forever, unless they start calling it Xcom (which would then be confused with the game) X itself could also mean Xorg (https://x.org) which is a lot older. Not to mention that it looks like someone forgot to remove a placeholder “in the site X, many people talk about…”

X is just a vague term though. It’s also often used as a placeholder for unknown or variable things. So the “formerly Twitter” is going to stick for quite a while.

It’s like naming a product “The Thing”. Anyone who talks about it will always have to clarify what Thing they are talking about basically forever.

Twitter, formerly known as X

Hopefully in a year or two they’ll eventually just call it Twitter or maybe if we’re lucky it will go out of business and then they’ll probably still just call it Twitter because the X thing would then have just been a short lived portion of its overall lifespan.

No one likes their x

I don’t think the platform will last long enough to care. In a year or two it’ll be “X, formely known an Twitter, currently remembered as Elon’s clusterfuck.”

edit: OHHH the name.

About six to twelve more months then people will call it X

Yeah, its getting absurd by now. Maybe we should help with the rebranding a lil bit… In Polish I prefer to call it exTwitter, but in English I’d hope calling it just “formerly” will catch on.

Forever, because X looks like a placeholder and media wants to be clear so they use the name that people actually associate with that trash website. It will never just be X because it is a terrible name for a business.
