You would be surprised at how many 40+ year olds still have no idea what "X" is.

Why on earth would something so silly piss you off?

X is a stupid name. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes, I suppose.

I think Musk is a modern day genius and he'll go down in history with the great barons of industry and invention.

I also love that he bought and gutted twitter.


But renaming it was stupid.

You read a story on the internet and the person writing the story says “So and so post this on X formally known as twitter “

What kind of person don’t know by now X is formally twitter ?

It’s been 2 or 3 years .

I can understand the first 3 or 4 months .


Can we drop the formally part and just say X?


The word is "formerly", not "formally".

Kind of like saying The Artist Formerly Known As Prince.

I think some people shortened it to TAFKAP and said it as a word.

And became this logo:
