X terms of service has right to take back username. X ported his followers over to new account at least, he said. Vaught is still using X, though he did set up account on Threads and Mastodon.

    Do you really call Twitter “X”? It sounds like you are talking about porn or you are trying to censure a word 😅😅😅

    What the fuck was Elon thinking?

      Just call it X… without any reference to its former universally known name so that no one knows wtf you are talking about.

          Did you try Xcreting on X about X?

          It’s probably the best way to get re Xcreted.

        More often, I’ve seen articles just ignoring the name change and still using the terms “Twitter” and “tweet/tweeted”.

      i’m okay with either of either of these since it reinforces the stupidity and futility:

      • x, formerly twitter
      • the company formerly known as twitter

          This is the way. I mean, it still refers to ‘tweets’ as ‘tweets’ in the fucking app. What a fucking joke. Elon Musk is such a fucking piece of shit. I hope Zuckerburg beats the shit out of him.

      Xhitter

      (pronounced as shitter) Example: when musk gets a call from the zuck about the fight, he makes excuses about being on the xhitter. Sorry zuck, my ______ is paining and I’m on the xhitter, can’t fight.
