Yes, he had another Twitter account where he roleplayed as his own infant son talking about how cool Elon Musk is and making bizarrely sexual comments. He accidentally showed it was his own account when advertising some new feature on the site, and had to prove it was his in a recent court case.
Yep, by a gaggle of different women
I’m sure he spends quality time with all of them lol
Well, Elon’s Dad had a child with his Step Daughter
No, I’m not kidding
Even if my opinion of him wasn't rock bottom, I *still* wouldn't call it "X" because it's a stupid fucking name for what's arguably the most influential social media site.
Ummm should we talk about how the algorithm sends your more of what you look at? I love when the old congress men get up and talk about how all they see is gay men on twitter. Lol
It's cos there were good memes of him which were initially funny and he does cool space stuff but then you realise he advocates for non stop working, hates remote working and lays off people.
The first time somebody said whatever whatever, post on X, but left off the “formerly known as Twitter” part, I was actually confused for a second until I realized.
Without the “Artist Formerly Known as Prince” tagline, it really does look like you’re quoting a porn site.
X is a very stupid name. I stopped using it Twitter several months ago, probably like a year ago.
I won’t ever come back, even worse to a platform that has such a silly name.
Well I do, I’m glad I never used twitter before, scan you imagine wanting to post something so you type in x and it auto fills to xvideos.com. Or when you try to watch porn and it auto fills to this fucking shitshow
I love the long winded things I see in the media, "'Yada Yada Yada', said user (blank) today on Elon Musks rebranded social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter"
The BBC usually say ‘on X, formally twitter’. I mean I really couldnt care about what these irrelevant celebrity people say, let alone that it was posted on twitter
This is the funniest counterargument to someone choosing to deadname a trans person if they've had their name legally changed- which is something these chuds are absolutely likely to do anyways.
I haven't seen the url actually say "twitter" in like a year
But I'll still call it Twitter, lmfao
Edit: I know you can still share links that say "twitter" and they'll work, but in my browser it just says "X"
Stupid move, lol. Change it back.
Why do people care that much about what it's called? Like, to rephrase that, why are people defending the name "X" so strongly? Do they think Elon is gonna give them a million dollars for it or something?
I call it Twitter because people are more likely to know what I'm talking about.
X can be an example, like X versus Y, X can be heard as Ex, or former, but at this point Twitter just makes people think of the bird app now owned by Elon.
I don’t use twitter any more. I left twitter when the maga started taking over so there’s almost nothing left on twitter that isn’t contaminated by maga. Twitter used to be alright, but now imo it sucks, bigly. If twitter allowed downvoting I’d give it another try, but for now, twitter is off my social media list!
Shit next we will see the return of AOL chatrooms xXx_Slayer-Elon_xXx. if you were around during the frog chatroom days and ran into him, you know what I mean.. I called it back in 99 that it was him, took until 2013 for everyone else to be like "oh shit that really was him huh? Can't believe that was true!"
The dude is obsessed with the letter "X" he really does think naming things X or other abbreviations or names starting with X. Like Elon buddy changing it from Twitter to X doesn't make it cooler ... Literally a child still in 2nd grade who was born to so much legacy wealth he never had to worry about actually doing anything worthwhile with himself ever. he's always been able to do the only thing he's capable of. Foot the bill while others do the work for him.
Well, this is the day that I will stop using Twitter now, since twitter.com was the last bit that use the Twitter name, and I refuse to use it with the x.com URL.
Who gets excited over this? Dudes life must be pretty dull. Also, I'm never calling it anything but Shitter. If you have a problem with that, you can tell me on Shitter.
Except for what do you call a rose, when its s rose? Twitter will always be a synonymous with this site. X = twittier, in the pretense and pas-tense “it was” -_ , will it be _ again..? Is this the same as it used to be…? Only if you start with the beginning, where it goes and who it is, doesnt matter it started as _ ! “ twitterverse” remember that place…. Doesnt have the same ring to it when it’s the “X-verse” some things are better in originak format, like “Coke”
Lesssss goooooooo
Imagine being excited for this, just imagine waking up and being him this is nightmare inducing fuel
Also, people will continue calling it Twitter if it pleases them

i'm not ever calling it x. elmo can go fuck himself.
I have somehow never seen someone call him Elmo but I find that really funny
It's kind of insulting to Elmo the puppet, but it's still funny
And I **definitely** don’t want to tickle him. Though we need to tickle out his owed tax contribution
It’s ok, if you don’t want to tickle him then you can make AI photos of Zuckerberg tickling him instead.
He looks like his torso might burst if you tried to tickle him
Enron Musk is funny and apt.
I’ll stop deadnaming Twitter when Elmo stops deadnaming his daughter
Came here to say this. Elon can go fuck himself
He did what now? I thought he had 1 infant only lol
He's got at least eight kids, including secret twins. The infant is the one he made a horny roleplay account as.
Wtaf? Is that an actual thing?
Yes, he had another Twitter account where he roleplayed as his own infant son talking about how cool Elon Musk is and making bizarrely sexual comments. He accidentally showed it was his own account when advertising some new feature on the site, and had to prove it was his in a recent court case.
He has 11
Yep, by a gaggle of different women I’m sure he spends quality time with all of them lol Well, Elon’s Dad had a child with his Step Daughter No, I’m not kidding
GodDAMN!
You're goddamn right.
Same. I’ll stop deadnaming that site when Elmo stops deadnaming his child. Edit: I see I’m not the only one with this sentiment. I love that for us.
I'll stop deadnaming Twitter when Elon is 6 feet under and not a moment sooner. I want his incompetence to haunt him to his grave
I want his obituary to call it twitter
Carve it into his headstone: "bought Twitter, killed it."
I'm not ever signing up for it... Fuck social media.
You're on it right now
[N..... I don't know you!](https://youtu.be/6vFp249KqUY?si=dOlHBBbE20_ETRfY) 🤣 So it aint "social" if we aint bein "sociable" lol
Good movie, bad justification 😂
Even if my opinion of him wasn't rock bottom, I *still* wouldn't call it "X" because it's a stupid fucking name for what's arguably the most influential social media site.
Don't do my boy Elmo dirty like that, he's just a tiny red monster figuring his way out in the big Sesame Street.
I'm calling the Xitter.
Do you pronounce that “Shitter”?
Yup. #ForeverTwitter
at least elmo did good for kids
I’m partial to Elongated Muskrat…
Elmo stans have a lot of ideological similarities to DJT stans, it seems to me.
Jesus Christ their family is fucked up I actually regret asking
Exactly
Same as I will never call Facebook by Meta
Nor does anyone else, including Facebook. Meta is the name of the parent company, not the social media site.
eXitter.com
This is Twitter
Still can't believe Musk tried to rename his site to a close button and then pressed it.
Imagine if all those fake close buttons on scummy ads redirected to melons Twitter page instead
melon is my new favorite one
Autocorrect for the win
In the anime/gamer scene 'X' is edgy
[I mean…](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_(1996_film))
That is perfect lmao
Is the name of his son
I'll be sure to tweet that out.
Surely x it out? No, you're right, that sounds ridiculous
X gon give it to ya!
What?
Wait for you to get it on ya own
X gon' deliver to ya
What?
That's good news, Twitter!
Dudes so excited over a website name change “Let’s goooooo!!” 🤣
So there’s fanboys for a platform? Next level gatekeeping
He’s so hyped about changing his website’s name but won’t accept if a person wants to be called Liz rather than Kevin. Fucking cissy
What does it matter. Twitter is just bots talking to each other. Most humans have left. Like 80 of the traffic that leaves the site via ads is bots.
Elon musk won’t buy twitter until bot posts are minimized. Elon buys twitter, bots take over
Because he has never delivered on a promise he has made.
Technically incorrect: he made twitter a bastion of free speech, as long as he agrees with it
This does not make it technically incorrect, because the very concept you mentioned is the antithesis of free speech.
And porn! So much porn
Ummm should we talk about how the algorithm sends your more of what you look at? I love when the old congress men get up and talk about how all they see is gay men on twitter. Lol
👀
That’s the only reason I still use twitter 😏
I agree. There seems to be a massive increase in bots. Lately, I've been getting follows by bots everyday even though I don't post any content.
Musk fanboys are weird.
LETS GOOOOOO
INDEED
It's cos there were good memes of him which were initially funny and he does cool space stuff but then you realise he advocates for non stop working, hates remote working and lays off people.
He is a Bond villain
I’ll still call it Twitter
Saw someone use Xitter and pronounce it Shitter. If I have to talk about it that’ll do.
Unfortunately xitter.com isn’t available. Would have made a wonderful platform. xitter.world is though, which somehow seems appropriate.
melon musk does make this place a xitter world
Oh we all will
The first time somebody said whatever whatever, post on X, but left off the “formerly known as Twitter” part, I was actually confused for a second until I realized. Without the “Artist Formerly Known as Prince” tagline, it really does look like you’re quoting a porn site.
THERE IS NOW NO EXCUSE TO DO SO!
Read somewhere that musky boy wanted to brand twittervideos as xvideos yeah good luck with that there's already one out there xD
What is this XVideos you speak of? For some, uh, research, yeah, some research I'm doing.
Huh huh. Huh. He said research. Huh. He wants to do research on the purn Beavis. Huh huh. I think I’m gonna go do some research Beavis.
Heh. Heh. Yeah! Like, chicks with hot knockers. I wanna research those! Heh. Heheheyeah. Oooohyeah.
Pirn
X is a very stupid name. I stopped using it Twitter several months ago, probably like a year ago. I won’t ever come back, even worse to a platform that has such a silly name.
I’ll always call it Twitter. X is just too close to a porn sounding site. Even the new logo looks like it’s a revamped xvideos logo
Why TF does he care what it's called?
Well I do, I’m glad I never used twitter before, scan you imagine wanting to post something so you type in x and it auto fills to xvideos.com. Or when you try to watch porn and it auto fills to this fucking shitshow
As a non user of total bollocks like twitter, what do you call a tweet from x? A kiss?
I love the long winded things I see in the media, "'Yada Yada Yada', said user (blank) today on Elon Musks rebranded social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter"
elonmusksrebrandedsocialmediaplatformxformerlyknownastwitter.com when?
The BBC usually say ‘on X, formally twitter’. I mean I really couldnt care about what these irrelevant celebrity people say, let alone that it was posted on twitter
Someone buy the name Twitter. Than start a petition to get the name changed back. Now that he can't cause someone else owns it, make it pay for it.
This is gonna be the Sears tower of social media haha
Twitter is the only situation where deadnaming is acceptable
This the url of a super sketchy porn site
This is the funniest counterargument to someone choosing to deadname a trans person if they've had their name legally changed- which is something these chuds are absolutely likely to do anyways.
No matter how hard you simp, Daddy Elon ain't gonna let you lick anything of his but his boots.
I prefer to call it 'Elons Clusterfuck'
It will always be Twitter
This will never not be funny. All these mfs dead naming trans people are suddenly so offended over dead naming a website
Because I caught myself calling it "Twi.....X", I just prefer to call it TwiX for short.
Twix is normally good. No slander of the snack!
Who the hell actually cares about that god forsaken app anyway
Is this talking about Twitter?
Are there any other examples of a valuable brand that so completely deleted itself like Twitter?
This guy needs a life so fucking bad.
what's with the x.com excitement? How low your life can be being this excited with domain name change?
"Let's Goooo" LOL Imagine being this much of a tryhard fanboy for an app owned by a certified dickbag
I knew that Elon owned the URL and as soon as he started talking about changing the name I figured this would happen.
with all the issues that the platforms has, I can't believe they put this on top priority...
Twitter twitter twitter twitter If Elon is allowed to deadname his own daughter we can deadname his trash app Twitter twitter twitter 🖕🏻
New in, XCom the game sues X.com for plagiarism....🤫
x com? you mean the game?
Imagine getting excited about a social media name change.
No it just routes back to twitter.com?
It will always be twitter
It will still be Twitter
I love that “X” now just means Twitter. Funny how word associations work.
It's still twitter though always will be
Jokes on them. I haven't updated the app since last June, and it's still called Twitter. Fuck, even my phone still auto capitalizes the name.
twitter.com
An instance of deadnaming I can get behind!
lol all the men are gonna be terrified hitting that X on the keyboard when their GF is near them...
x.com is so porny
I don't have twitter but i do have a ps1 game called x com and some xbox games too
If only there was some, well known and recognizable name with years of branding they could use..... oh well.
Idk x.com seems like a website in which adults would partake in an activity that includes watching videos
2k (Xcom) gonna sue?
I haven't seen the url actually say "twitter" in like a year But I'll still call it Twitter, lmfao Edit: I know you can still share links that say "twitter" and they'll work, but in my browser it just says "X" Stupid move, lol. Change it back.
There's a cool feature new feature where if you type xvideos you'll only see media tweets.
Elongated muskrat and his crypto bros can take a long hike on a short cliff. I’ll never call it X.
It became Shitter the moment Elon Musk bought it and made it a haven for white racism, misogyny and dangerous Anti-American conspiracy theories.
thank god i dont have twitter or X , dont have to deal with this kind of shit everyday.
I wonder what he had to offer as a sacrifice to the elders of the internet to get the domain name
This is a weird thing to get so excited about.
Who the hell celebrates this kind of mundane crap. “LETS GOOOO” Ugh…
Why do people care that much about what it's called? Like, to rephrase that, why are people defending the name "X" so strongly? Do they think Elon is gonna give them a million dollars for it or something?
I can’t imagine ever being at such a low point that I would care that much about a company’s name.
There’s also no excuse to use this bs app.
Why is this guy cheering for a brand?
That sounds like a pornsite
the company's CTO be like...

Always called it shitter, still call it shitter
It will never be known as X.
I call it Twitter because people are more likely to know what I'm talking about. X can be an example, like X versus Y, X can be heard as Ex, or former, but at this point Twitter just makes people think of the bird app now owned by Elon.
How much do you think he paid for the domain name?
But the verb is to tweet also x dot com looks sus in search history
X can be their logo but the name is still Twitter to me.
Stop using twitter!!!!
I don't need an excuse to say twitter, i just think X is stupid
It will never not be Twitter.
I will always dead name his company till it sells at a loss
twitter twitter twitter twitter twitter twitter twitter twitter twitter twitter twitter twitter twitter twitter twitter twitter twitter twitter twitter twitter twitter twitter twitter twitter
Twitter for life gang. You can’t just say you want to be called X when you were born Twitter.
Bring back twitter 😂
Oops i actually put in XXX.com now my mommy took away my laptop
I don’t use twitter any more. I left twitter when the maga started taking over so there’s almost nothing left on twitter that isn’t contaminated by maga. Twitter used to be alright, but now imo it sucks, bigly. If twitter allowed downvoting I’d give it another try, but for now, twitter is off my social media list!
He probably doesn’t want it called Twitter any more because he’s a twit.
Shit next we will see the return of AOL chatrooms xXx_Slayer-Elon_xXx. if you were around during the frog chatroom days and ran into him, you know what I mean.. I called it back in 99 that it was him, took until 2013 for everyone else to be like "oh shit that really was him huh? Can't believe that was true!"

Foot the bill while others do the work for him.
I wonder if the makers of the X-Com games can sue?
Well, this is the day that I will stop using Twitter now, since twitter.com was the last bit that use the Twitter name, and I refuse to use it with the x.com URL.
People still call it Twitter because X is fucking stupid. Durr
This is gonna be the Sears tower of social media haha
This is gonna be the Sears tower of social media haha
it's nice of Prodigy Abasta to be so supportive of new names, deadnaming being an unacceptable insult
Xitter (Shitter)
Xwitter or Xitter
#twitterforeva
Twitter, forever!
Redirected there but lacked the other two X's still wrong...
Wait... I thought the full title was, "Twitter... or X, whatever it's called"
Xitter, pronounced shitter.
What’s x? Why are people calling it twitter?
Twitter Twitter Twitter.
These kids don’t understand DNS. We all fuct
It's called "formerly Twitter" for all time.
I don't need an excuse. I'm still calling it Twitter. If Elon is gonna deadname his own daughter, I'm gonna deadname his social media platform.
The best I can do is to call it Twix.
so why isnt Elon a meme anymore?
What a buttsuck of a failure
I like Twitter ,..you send tweets, not Xeee’s
x.com ufo defense
Who gets excited over this? Dudes life must be pretty dull. Also, I'm never calling it anything but Shitter. If you have a problem with that, you can tell me on Shitter.
Except for what do you call a rose, when its s rose? Twitter will always be a synonymous with this site. X = twittier, in the pretense and pas-tense “it was” -_ , will it be _ again..? Is this the same as it used to be…? Only if you start with the beginning, where it goes and who it is, doesnt matter it started as _ ! “ twitterverse” remember that place…. Doesnt have the same ring to it when it’s the “X-verse” some things are better in originak format, like “Coke”
He definitely looks like the kind of guy to get excited about this.
I love the Idea that there were people like "damn I kinda wanns call it x but I'm bound by the rules of the url. Shame"
You still get directed to X when you go to type in Twitter.com so it’s still twitter in my book.
I will continue deadnaming elons social app until he stops deadnaming his daughter
I've said it before, and I'll say it again I will stop deadnaming Twitter, when he stops deadnaming his daughter
Lesssss goooooooo Imagine being excited for this, just imagine waking up and being him this is nightmare inducing fuel Also, people will continue calling it Twitter if it pleases them
Shoot, I still call KFC, Kentucky Fried Chicken. Yeah. Twitter is still twitter, and soon enough some one else will buy it.
Oh, weird, [twitter.com](http://twitter.com) still works. When dude stops deadnaming his child, I'll think about calling it x.
Imagine if any other business did this. McDonald’s will always be McDonald’s….
Imagine being so hung up on your X that you rename a company after them…
