The site metadata refers to it as Twitter for like, those media cards Facebook Messenger and Discord make when you send a link, so I guess to stop my browser from deadnaming the site I should just stop visiting it.
it’s important to remember that elon musk is a 50 year old man which makes it even sadder
“According to the New York Times, terrorists may be paying for blue check marks on Twitter (I refuse to call it X),” King wrote.
King later followed up his stand against the name by posting the word “Twitter” several times in a message critical of Musk’s "need to put your personal brand in everything.”
That sure is some savage trolling… Someone else had a much better comeback
Musk attempted to ridicule King, writing, “Stop deadnaming X… Respect our transition,” in response to King’s tweet.
Alejandra Caraballo, a transgender attorney and instructor at Harvard Law School, criticized Musk’s stance by bringing his personal life into the conversation. Caraballo responded directly to Musk’s post on X with a poignant comment: “Why? You never respected your daughter’s [transition].”

So fucking glad someone called PG out on his bullshit with his daughter.
It’s not an own to him though. Thought process goes like this.
Elon deadnames daughter.
Internet people mad.
Someone deadnames Twitter (Oops).
Internet people not mad.
“Aha! Hypocrites!”
Thoughts terminated.
You can’t deadname a social network because it’s not a person, though. It does not have feelings.
Elon’s thought process has already stopped. You would have better luck explaining the nuance to a ferret.
Elon is a massive piece of shit, but this is a genuine question because I don’t follow everything with him…
Has he been anti-trans?
Edit: Jesus Christ… Can’t say I’m surprised.
This is just the first result from Google

tl;dr, At Xhitter, he fired the people who took down promotions for a film inciting anti trans hate and then promoted the film.
X now identifies as apartheid media instead of social media. The name change is important to make this distinction.
Companies aren’t fucking people you braindead, full-of-shit, techbro asshole. (Just to be clear, this is directed at musk)
“Companies are people too, my friend”
-Mitt Romney, in an incredibly out of touch statement.
“In fact, if we look at the only marker that counts - money - then corporations are even more people than people are.”
Corporations own the domestic housing market, your car through software, you phone and devices through proprietary firmware, and your media through subscriptions.
Corporations are the only citizens.
We are serfs with no rights to own anything.
“We do not use the term ‘serf’ here. It makes the serfs uncomfortable.”
When you want to go to his site what do you type? Twitter.com no? So shut the fuck up Elon
I had to check. x.com actually redirects to Twitter. Which makes Twitter correct. X must be the old name.
Of course it is, X has always been a placeholder. Then after some serious consideration they ended up with Twitter, which is such a good name really, love it. Well done! At least thats how I remember it.
