Instead of "X", how about we all call it "the website formerly known as Twitter" from now on? (self.asklemmy)

Worked great when the artist formerly known as Prince changed his name to a symbol.

Oh I agree. It gets more difficult over time though, as more people begin to only know the entity by the new name. I'm not a Twitter user so I really don't care about the new "X" name, but I still know and will forever know that Spectrum is Comcast and Lumen is Century Link, because I care deeply about the bullshit they are about. And will I continue to remember Twitter for what it is no matter the name they decide to go by. I was mainly pointing out that they do in fact have the right in the law to rebrand, to put a thin veil over their previous mishaps.
