"What about X and a space, either before or after?" software developer Yusuf Alp suggested a potential workaround in response to Berlin's post.
"He already has a company called SpaceX," chuckled Berlin.
Gold.
This is amazing :)
Trailing and leading spaces are almost always trimmed in such cases, but that is indeed very funny.
No no no, make the name "X and a space"!
This could very well indicate resentment of Twitter employees, they were told to change name to X, they tried and it didn't work, so they did nothing else.
Perfect example of notmyjob.

That took me way too long to get lol
This is your hourly reminder that being born into a family that owns an emerald mine doesn't automatically make you a fucking genius
I don't know what's sadder, that he tried to say that the Emerald Mine was a myth or that my Libertarian friends bought that shit.
Your friends being duped is much sadder. Its understandable why he would lie about that. It exposes him as a silver spoon munching brat that what born on 3rd base and thinks he hit a triple.
Your friends not being skeptical enough to see through the bullshit is sad. Anyone being a fanboy of one of these clowns is sad.

I'm sure this won't end up being a huge deal, but the funny part is that this apparently wasn't planned for. Gives you some insight into how much of a shit show Twitter/X HQ must be right now.
I think it's fait to just call it Twitter and not "x" or "twitter/x" or "x social" or "Twitter but actually x"
X will never stick 😅
Permanently Deleted
It's been renamed to X on my partner's iPhone so they seem to have gotten round it already.
That's crazy. He wants to turn the app into an everything app and there isn't even concrete plans in place. Wish I could be a fly on the wall in their meetings. If they even have one.
Lol awesome. Fuck Elon Musk.
no thanks. I don't fuck manbabies.
Pretty easy solution. Just show it in the App Store as “X - A Social Media App” or some shit
"The App Formerly Know as Twitter"
The Prince solution, I like it.
Love Finderrz with two Rs and a Z.
Inb4 he throws an ego-driven temper tantrum because they won’t make an exception to a rule that has existed since the dawn of the app store specifically for his special ass.
“Did you know Steve Jobs was a pedo?” “Oh shut up, Elon.”
Read that as "dawn of the ape store"
I read it is as "tempura tantrum"
Good old minimum character validation
I admittedly didn’t read the article. Is that the reason or does someone already have an app called X? Either way they can just call it like “X - Formerly known as Twitter” but he’s probably too childish to do that.
Yeah, there's just a minimum requirement on app names in the store
Good. I'm all for (even the smallest) confrontations between shitty billionaires and/or shitty corporations.
Right? Shit politicians too. Ron DeSantis got me rootin' for fucking Disney. I hate Disney in general, but I wish they'd play more serious Illuminati hardball with DeSantis.
X for Twitter
X FOR iOS is probably better. But being an app developer and dealing with apple bullshit so many times I'm frothing over how delicious this snack is.
Might have missed the joke
Everytime you post/upvote Musk spam he gets free marketing. Downvote this shit.

I'm once again begging you people to not fucking besmirch the debut album of Pearl Jam. Thank you.
Is that what Gordon plays when you don’t see the signal?
That news is actually funny 😁
Did they try “X”?
They should try 𝕏
X, by X Corp? Fuck Elon btw
Can they just do “-X-“? Just as stupid, but whatever.
I vote for
xX-[X]-XxAlas, this being the darkest timeline, we'll probably end up with
X Social.
If emojies we're allowed we very well know Musk would go for it. 💩X💩
I hate to agree with Apple but...
He's going to try to sue Apple over this, and he thinks he will win.
