Are people just ignoring the X name change and still calling it Twitter? That’s awesome lol

Of course. X is dumb… I talked to people being confused, thinking X was supposed to be a placeholder.

Of course. I don't call Facebook Meta, and I don't call Google Alphabet.

You can change your company's name, or nest it in a shell, people still know who you are

Google and Facebook weren't rebranded. Twitter was.

On their case the name change was only for the company not for the product
