"What about X and a space, either before or after?" software developer Yusuf Alp suggested a potential workaround in response to Berlin's post.

"He already has a company called SpaceX," chuckled Berlin.

Gold.

    This is your hourly reminder that being born into a family that owns an emerald mine doesn't automatically make you a fucking genius

    I'm sure this won't end up being a huge deal, but the funny part is that this apparently wasn't planned for. Gives you some insight into how much of a shit show Twitter/X HQ must be right now.

    I think it's fait to just call it Twitter and not "x" or "twitter/x" or "x social" or "Twitter but actually x"

    X will never stick 😅

    I think I’m okay with it being referred to as “the social media network formerly known as Twitter” from here on out.

    I'm not. Prince was awesome. He changed his name to a symbol because Warner Bros trademarked his name and wouldn't let him do what he wanted with his own music. People started calling him The Artist Formally Know as Prince. But the reason was ignored and everyone made fun of him.

    Musk is an idiot and loser and shouldn't be even tangentially compared to Prince.

    I much prefer to call it "10"

    This might hurt a little, but I don’t think most people today know who Prince is. I just know that he was a musician. That sentence is also a commonly used sentence in such scenarios, unrelated to one person.

    I think you're a little silly for assuming that directly references Prince. I wasn't even alive when all that stuff with Prince was happening and I had only heard it happened in a conversation I had with my mom when I was like 12. A conversation suddenly brought back to mind by your comment.

    That's just kinda what you call something that was formerly known as something else when the something else is not well received.

    It was cool in the 90s like i in front of a word was cool in the 00/10s. That was his era.

    It's been renamed to X on my partner's iPhone so they seem to have gotten round it already.

    Inb4 he throws an ego-driven temper tantrum because they won’t make an exception to a rule that has existed since the dawn of the app store specifically for his special ass.

    It's quite something how Twitter has been constantly tinkered with since musk took over, and instead of making any tangible improvements, it's actually just created more mess.

    Seems obvious. They should just add 2 more X's.
