You don't tweet, you xeet. One letter better than yeet.
XD
When I was 8 I loved the letter X and used it in a bunch of my cringe gamertags like "Player X". this man is a literal child thinking this sounds cool.
We all had to take tags like xXBigChungus69Xx because Elon took the original xXXXx 😤
xX𝕏Xx
SpaceX. He's completed his little circle.
He had x.com before that.
He's going full circle by now having it redirect to twitter, and will probably be the main page soon.
Elon is doing this so he can pretend that if someone says “i saw your ex today” he can pretend they were talking about his tweet, change my view
(Un)fortunately, that only works in English, as far as I know.
Nah, works in norwegian, and german if your ex is a guy
Y'know, if he hadn't fired all of his staff for this kind of thing then someone could've told them this is going to get meme'd to "ex" in about 0.06482 seconds. Oh well, time to grab the popcorn!
If he fires a high ranking employee now, they can put "ex X exec" on their resume.
Remember that time Elon's ex left him for a trans woman? I wonder why he's so obsessed with x.
No, you see. That is exactly what happened list time and he can't have that happening again.
Me when I post an X on X.com, owned by X Corp, which is owned by the father of X Æ A-12
I give you this little tidbit from wikipedia I read yesterday:
According to Musk and Grimes, his name was "X Æ A-12" (/ɛks æʃ eɪ ˈtwɛlv/); however, the name would have violated California regulations as it contained characters that are not in the modern English alphabet,[476][477] and was then changed to "X Æ A-Xii". This drew more confusion, as Æ is not a letter in the modern English alphabet.[478] The child was eventually named X AE A-XII Musk, with "X" as a first name, "AE A-XII" as a middle name, and "Musk" as surname.
I found it funny.
So instead of "I read this tweet on Twitter" it's now "I read this X on X"? That is fucking dumb.
Maybe he'll be dumb enough to sell the Twitter domain to pay bills and some rich hero buys it and puts Mastodon there instead
I Xd an X on X.
X? You're Xing me.
No X!
it reads like you’re trying to censor which exactly service you’re talking about! 😆
“I read A on B”
I'll have a Y, please.
Another consonant please, Carol
Z, thank you Sean
I’ve got a safe 3 or a risky 9.
Buying an NFT just so I can use this insult
Just download one for free
that isn't very dumb is it
Sweet, can I print screen pls?
I'd assume most of them go for pretty close to 0 now. Worth it for the joke I think.
This is a textbook example of how to not do a rebrand. The only thing that has change on twitter is the logo, nothing else. Everything else is still twitter.
Then again this rebrand is right on the money for how Elon is managing twitter.
So right! A leading marketing professor at Northwestern is already breaking it down into the key lessons to learn from these mistakes:

Twitter is like a bad x
X gon give it to ya
Elmo Musk should host a TED talk on how NOT to brand a website. It would sell millions of tickets.
Someone should rent the Tweety Bird brand from Time Warner and make a Twitter clone social media platform identical to o.d Twitter (only the logo is Tweety on a blue Looney Tunes circles background), that way, when one posts there, it's called a tweet or tweeting
If someone did this, I bet everyone would totally migrate.
What a dumb asshole.
