I think you dont? Twitter has already lost so much relevance that the rebranding will just kill it. The x is actually two crossed planks nailed over the door.
Oh Gods -- on a lark I just typed "x.com" into my browser. One guess what website I ended up on? I'm imaging it now -- someone bought "x.com" 15 years ago and cursed the day they ever wasted money on it, yet hung onto it... Now they are on vacation in the tropics.
Only clearer by the day that this was all an exercise to intentionally kill Twitter to the benefit of billionaires, fascists and other extremists.
Twitter existed as a relatively free and open public space to communicate, organize and assemble to take actions for and against things at scale before musk (e.g. The Arab Spring, a terrifying moment for the Saudis especially - the second largest shareholder behind musk).
When people collectively laughed at elon and his cringe, inbred, emerald boy antics or his humiliating divorce and other routine failures, Twitter was the bullhorn.
Now elon and his desperate far right Toadies will work to try to rewrite reality so they can eventually have this conversation:
"Twitter? What's a Twitter? Wait, are you talking about blork? A bird? No, blork's logo is a dinosaur with chainsaw arms... and everyone wants to be his best friend... and it's against the law to divorce him... and he's cool... and..."
What an everlasting tool history will remember you as, elon. If they remember you at all, it will be to laugh at you - you'll never outrun that.
Twitter made itself a closed platform and with the rate limit he made it impossible for reporters to report on anything regarding twitter. So nobody is talking about twitter and by extension Elon. This is Elon eating worms on the playground so that the other kids will pay attention to him again.
excrete
oh please please please let “tweets” now be called “excretions”
Xcretions. It must be stylized
Or Xcrement
Elon has not thought this through..
as i saw in another thread, you xcrete
X-it
You know, leave.
Lmao good one.
You 'gon give it to ya'
All I've been able to think about since I heard "X" lol
Delete your account, hopefully.
In seriousness, probably something like "Extend" or "XPost" even though those sound awful. They might just go back to just "post", maybe.
Xcrete
You should follow the general advice: Don't send messages to your X.
Usually dance. Talk to strangers. Petting animals is fun too.

You gon give it to em
Exit
post boomer memes
Excrete.
"Came here to say this"
eXceed rate limits
“plug” seems right
edit: maybe “peg” as an alternate
So the act of making a post on there is now officially called "getting pegged".
“pegging yourself for views”
Pssstt… that’s the joke
Pssstt... I was just using the excuse to say that
Delete my account.
Xcommunicate.
Apparently we're to call it an "X". A retweet will not be an "rxm" or some stupid nonsense like that
Retweets will be called XXX
Probably a Re-X
Tyrannosaurus Re-X
x off
Xeet. Pronounced like you think it is.
My brain says “zit” but with a long e. Zēt.
Me too. Pretty standard way of pronouncing word-initial X in English.
Pronounce it with a “sh” in front - sheeet

Elon bought it 20 years ago and has been sitting on it since while it's been burning a 43 billion dollar hole in his pocket
@merde what do you do on X? You Digg. X marks the spot of course.
Digg died for nothing.
X-crete? X-pell? X-ume? X-it?

You are giving Elon way to much credit - I really doubt that he is playing 4D chess here. But let’s see 😅
I find it hard to believe Elon is playing 4d chess, I also think its unlikely that he could fuck up this comprehensively by accident.
Doing weird stuff have given him a lot of free media attention- maybe it’s just become a habit and it’s about to backfire? 🤞🏻
Yeah he has, but if he was just being weird and random, what are the odds on him making a bad call every single time?
"If you tweet on #Twitter, what do you do on #X?"
Xoot or xeet @merde
You "make an Ex"
Leave it. The dumbass just keeps ignoring actual experts and ruining what was a decent-enough platform.
Close it
X-tweeting
X-Files
Yeet
Honestly, knowing Elon's stupid humor, this wouldn't surprise me in the least.
It's where you go to be cross.
Scream into the void hoping you get noticed.

Take a big shit
Xtrude.
Nothing.

just Y?
eXist. It’s just about existence now
leave
Why they are changing the name?
