Based on other Musk products, the answer is "sex".

"I sexed last night about pony poops."
"He sexed at me about goat groping."
"She's not sexing with me anymore."

The product: X. The account and profile: X. The posts and comments and reposts: X.

Xitting, pronounced "shitting"

β€œTweet” is now up for grabs. All similar platforms should call them tweets.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Xits. The x is of course pronounced with the sh sound, just like the platform Xitter.

It's Elon, so they'll probably be called "harambes"
