This is a good and valid point but in the case of X, the real shit show started after our during the renaming period. Do if you want to point out the idiotic bullshit, I think X is the way to go. Nevertheless, that's hard to pronounce, like "I re-X-ed your X" sounds like a messed up relationship issue.

Twitter was a dumpster fire for a decade before Elmo tricked himself into buying it.

Every system is perfectly designed to produce its observed outcomes. Twitter was always a harassment engine, by design. If not by intent.
