"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"

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

    Pretty easy solution. Just show it in the App Store as “X - A Social Media App” or some shit

    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.

    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.

    Good. I'm all for (even the smallest) confrontations between shitty billionaires and/or shitty corporations.

    Everytime you post/upvote Musk spam he gets free marketing. Downvote this shit.
