We’ll call it X once he manages to upgrade it to an equal level of service that he bought it at.

And posting on it is called “taking a xit.”

Also, almost everyone has heard of “Twitter,” but I suspect people who know it has (in theory) been renamed “X” are largely confined to the terminally online. Everyone else is going to wonder, “Is that a porn site or something?”
It really shows what a numbskull Elno is - he took something with absolutely enormous name recognition, where that was half the value of the company, and for absolutely no reason discarded that in favor of a name that’s generic, easily confused and creates huge practical problems for the existing service. Absolute business idiot.

Twitter, Twitter, Twitter.
Musk is feeling bitter.
Twitter, Twitter, Twitter.
He’s flushed it down the shitter.
And now that the blue bird’s dead,
only one thing remains to be said.
Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter.

So, this is the third X he has? He is collecting X? And he wants to make it an everything company? So, he is basically concatenating his Xes?
Did he already buy XXX.com for it?

Musk changed Twitter’s TOS to allow deadnaming. It was previously disallowed.
Now Musk is popping his monocle over deadnaming when someone calls his site Twitter? You know, if he’s feeling so harmed when someone calls something as inconsequential as his website by the wrong name (which he equates to deadnaming without a hint of sarcasm), maybe he should imagine for a moment how deadnaming affects actual human beings? (Of course he won’t do this because he’s a fucking transphobic scumbag.)

“and got in a giggle at trans people’s expense, too, saying that calling Twitter “Twitter” was “deadnaming.”
We get the last giggle; because twitter is dead. Name notwithstanding.

"On the left side you can see we have a phone featuring the name-brand chat service. Over in the right side we have a phone with the built-in brand X chat service.
You can see how the people chatting on the left are chill about stuff, but the people on the right are all trolling each other with Nazi screeds, racism, sexism, xenophobia and other nasty topics. Disgusting!
John Mastodon. Ask for him by name!"

I have a question: what is the “doublestruck mathematical x” used for in math? Does it represent a number set, in the way ℝ represents the real numbers, or ℤ represents integers? Perhaps an unknown set of numbers?
edited to add:
A little internet research later and we have the answer “Occasionally used to represent an arbitrary metric space.”
And the tidbit that this style of character is usually called “blackboard bold” and it was originally a convention for representing BOLD letters when writing on a blackboard and only later appeared in print.

The story I heard is that Musk proved that the set of all sets which are not members of themselves, is in fact a member of itself, and chose to represent this set with the double X.
