I understand not only the what, but the why

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I'm just sick of every article in existence calling it "X formally known as Twitter" like what's the point, just either say X or say twitter it's filler bullshit to extend the article.
I see that as a kind of professional fu to Elon. As in "We know we need to call it X now, but since nobody actually does that, we'll also add the actual name".
indeed. i like to believe he hates when we do that
It probably helps searchability, since now there is a fracture of people looking up 'X news' and 'Twitter news'
"Twitter, also known by some as X"
This is the way.
Xitter is also acceptable in my book as long as pronunciation is left to the reader.
Obviously shitter
I like it that way. It's the same as "Twitter now renamed X by a fool".
