I like how you still call it a tweet. I hope tweet, tweeting and twitter remain the lexicon for X forever.

Twitter and tweeting where such well established and creative words, which set Twitter apart. I loved the analogy to birds. And Elon just throws all of that away...

No no, let it change. If “””X””” loses the actually marketable and popular terminology it’s all downhill from there (like, even more than now)
