We all know Twitter is being rebranded as X, so we presumably should no longer be calling Tweets "Tweets", so what are they called now? The best answer gets 10 karma and a verified checkmark*

Now everything is X.

The product: X. The account and profile: X. The posts and comments and reposts: X.

Have you seen X's X? Yes I Xed it.

Based on other Musk products, the answer is "sex".

"I sexed last night about pony poops."
"He sexed at me about goat groping."
"She's not sexing with me anymore."

Xits. The x is of course pronounced with the sh sound, just like the platform Xitter.

[-] RustedSwitch@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Let’s go with “Xarts”

Haha, I love it. How very Roman.

“Tweet” is now up for grabs. All similar platforms should call them tweets.

I'm sure he knows a lot about exes

[-] chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 year ago

And as stupid as that is, it's even wrong. It would just be Xs. No apostrophe.

[-] RobBanks@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

It's Elon, so they'll probably be called "harambes"

Are we censoring "twat"?

[-] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

Xeet pronounced "Sheeeet"

As in: Elon Musk's changed the name of Twitter, Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.
