    Yeah it’s never going to be called just “X”, it’s always going to be “X, formerly twitter”.

    Just like Prince the whole time he changed his name to that symbol.

      Prince wanted people to call him Prince. He changed his name to that symbol to get out of a shitty contract with Warner Bros.

      “Warner Bros took the name, trademarked it, and used it as the main marketing took to promote all of the music I wrote,” Prince once said in a press release. “The company owns the name Prince and all related music marketed under Prince. I became merely a pawn used to produce more money for Warner Bros.”

      Elon changed Twitter to X because he’s a babyman who never got over the fact that PayPal didn’t like the name.
