STOP CALLING IT X. JUST CALL IT TWITTER.COM
- fr! I'll start calling it "X" when he calls his daughter Vivian
- You do realize that X is now it’s official name right? Elon changed the name to X and deprecated the twitter name. At the end of the domain registration, he is not going to re-register twitter.com as the domain name, and because he owns the trademark on it, he is going to sue anyone who tries to re-use the domain name.
  
  Don't care. I'm still going to dead name the bird site.
  
  I genuinely could not care less.
  
  I’m going to keep deadnaming his company for as long as Elon keeps deadnaming his daughter.
  
  I hope he realizes that's not how it works. Companies own domains they don't use for this exact reason. Hell, most major companies own hundreds of misspelled versions of their domains across many TLDs for user safety.
  
  Just requires whoever picks it up be in a country that doesn't respect US IP law.
  
  Hopefully that means we cab finally stop giving that shit website any attention.
Remove 'Circles' from the title anf it vecomes far more interesting
- Yeah, no. This is how we get misleading clickbait titles.
I didn't know such feature even existed
Circles? Like from Google+?
Circles, the thing I hit accidentally when blocking a corporate account
Given Elon is a transphobic POS, I'll gladly remain deadnaming his shitty website
