It's the Japanese pronunciation

Notably, his adopted child whose name he decided to change. It's also not an actual child with actual feelings, just a platform.

Here's my take

personally, I would have swapped the top pair instead of the bottom pair.

I find ex-twitter more dismissive and destructive, without having to lower yourself and stating that twitter is no more, just an empty shell

I came on to see if anyone else felt this way.

I don't think it makes a difference.

Musk isn't concerned whether we think X is the same that Twitter was. His whole point was to usurp Twitter's reach and pervert it to the cause of spewing toxic shit. The old Twitter means nothing to him, just the users do.

And for the most part, the users are the same ones as those of the late Twitter.

So I think calling it ex-twitter, xitter or anything else doesn't have an impact on anything. My preference to call it Ex-Twitter is mostly just spite.

I call it Twitter for two reasons: 1. "X" is a stupid ass name 2. elongated muskrat apparently hates people calling it "Twitter".

I agree, calling it Twitter just gives the impression of denial that it's now X, denial that it's owned by Elon, denial that it's now shit (it was shit before, worse now though), and feels like justification for continued use of it.

Just call it X in disgust, and move on to Mastodon or something
