The Republican-led House Oversight Committee was promptly ridiculed Tuesday night into Wednesday morning for its release of 33,000 files on Jeffrey Epstein; the vast majority of which, critics have noted, were either redacted or already public.“Literally 97% of the ‘Epstein files’ just released by t...
why do journalists keep referring to Twitter as X?
it’s just not going to happen, and you lose credibility
If you hate Musk, call it “X.”
X has poorer brand recognition and poorer brand sentiment than Twitter.
Dumbass that’s not how it works
Because it changed its name… like what would be the point of calling it Twitter when it’s literally x.com now?
How do you lose credibility for calling a product by its name? What do you mean it’s not going to happen? It’s already happened. You can call it a stupid rebrand (I agree), but you can’t pretend it didn’t happen… Twitter doesn’t exist anymore.
They mean that replacing “Twitter” with “X” isn’t going to change in the common vernacular.
Yes it is, it has… The verb tweet isn’t going away, no one is going to seriously “x” line no one is going to bing anything, but that has nothing to do with the product itself anymore. A Kleenex just means tissue paper to most people, and a tweet is a short message on a Twitter inspired platform… You tweet on x now, because that’s literally the product’s name.
They were talking about people calling it X, not the actual name of the company changing.
They specifically said it lowers their credibility to call x.com “x” instead of Twitter, which isn’t its name anymore.
I will never call Facebook by another name.
It’s still called Facebook… The parent company changed names, you refusing to call Facebook the product of meta is just silly… Meta is the evil corporation that makes Facebook.
Elon bought Twitter and changed it to x, you refusing to call it by its old name doesn’t change that fact and doesn’t change it back to Twitter magically. It’s weird, but whenever.
Do you refuse to call Walmart anything but Walton’s? Do you refuse to say Firefox because it shall forever be Firebird? Do you refer to the iPhone as the product of Apple Computers?
Products change names, get over it.
Keep arguing with people online, you’re so productive and you’re changing so many minds, ahahahahaha
Do you just like arguing with people online? Because if you didn’t know… the debate-bro persona isn’t as edgy and controversial as you seem to want it to be.
If you were paying attention, (you weren’t) you’d have noticed I never said a thing about the social media platform. I said FACEBOOK; as in- THE COMPANY.
So… maybe instead of typing up seething paragraphs and failed “gotcha’ moments, you should go find a book on how to read for context.
It’ll save you some embarrassment in the future.
What do you call posts on this platform? Is it tweets? It is isn’t it? So yeah, its still twitter.
You take xits
Okay I stand corrected, this is the way.
I don’t use the Nazi platform, but I recognize its name is x… I don’t know what you think you get out of insisting on calling it Twitter? Do you think that’s a protest? Do you think you’re hurting Elon and his Nazi friends by calling into question the credibility of someone for calling it by its name?
Just such a weird nonsensical hill to die on. Just stop using the platform entirely, and just accept that Twitter is dead.
Meh, the new name is dumb, I’m not using it. It’s got such brand recognition that articles talk about it as Twitter/X instead of just saying X.
