It’s Twitter. No need to adopt his pet name for it.

Twitter (Currently known as Elon Musk's X) has a nice ring to it

Twitter (desperately purporting to be Elon Musk's X)

Xitter has an even better ring to it

I thought it was Xitter, where the X is pronounced with the Chinese "sh" pronunciation.

In Europe, the chocolate bar "Twix" was called "Raider" until the 1990s or so. When they changed the name, they ran a famous ad campaign with the slogan "Raider is now called Twix!" which is still not only remembered but even became an ironic saying (at least in Germany) for when things (try to make it) seem like they change but they actually stay the same.

So... Twitter is now obviously called Twix for me.

In other news, Elon Musk sues Fidelity...

He buys them.

This is what he did when he bought Twitter. He removed that guy who was posting his plane/traveling schedule. I'm sure he was this petty.
