    I've got the X, but I still see 'tweets' and on the mobile I still get the bird tweet noise thing when I refresh*


    *Being a Barnsley fan I am refreshing a lot recently :)

    T'owd Rocket Man. Despite everything, one thing you definitely can't accuse him of, is being afraid to make decisions.

    The same decision repeatedly. He was kicked out after trying to rename PayPal as X, then had SpaceX, tried to call his child X and now done it with Twitter...

    Oh, and now videos on that platform are XMovies. Please don't search for that from a work computer...

    And all the subscribers will now have to explain the regular payments to "X Blue"...

    He’s been sitting on the domain X.com for 30 years, he just wants to move everything over to that.

    A sure fire way of getting everyone to move to threads, at least the platform says what it is. Has he never watched the Apprentice!?

    I still call Snickers Marathon and Starburst Opal Fruits. I imagine plenty will forever know it as Twitter, regardless of what X-Man calls it.

    If I sign into X, will I still unironically get called a scrubber by some random bloke from Darnall? Because if so, this news hasn't changed my life in the slightest.
