“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].”
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.
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.
