Twitter, X or Twix? Internet hands Elon Musk a branding conundrum; ‘it’s garbage change it back..’

Hindustan Times  

“You can’t X a post but you can tweet it,” point noted. “it’s a fuc*** ridiculous name born out of Elon's bizarre, almost sexual fixation with the letter “X” lol, wrote another.” Others chimed in too. “Twitter is like Kleenex is to tissue," “Its garbage.please change it back.” The OG Tweeters, those who remember the pre-selfie days, clung to the familiar blue bird like a life raft. A bizarre but oddly sweet and ‘satisfying’ proposition: “Twix.” Could Twitter, the platform famous for hot takes, really become a chocolate bar? I’d rather “TwitteX”, you do you.” “Elon, What’s funny is Twitter is your EX.” The free speech vs propaganda machine “I like it better because X represents free speech and twitter to me represented a propaganda machine.” Wrote Island Girl defending the Musk made name change.
