I think one of the reasons why we're still seeing this done by journalists is because Elon's takeover is probably relevant to whatever it is they're reporting. I've definitely seen articles just refer to it as "X". But whenever it's a story about some crazy racist shit someone said or how poorly their advertising business is doing, it's "formerly Twitter".

That said, I think online people who aren't writing for news outlets and aren't insane will — for the most part — always call it Twitter out of spite until the site either dies or Musk sells it and it changes back.

You simply underestimate the duplicitous nature of the [country name] immigrant /s

I'd actually be willing to bet that we (the US taxpayer) paid those corporations for the privilege of their continued existence

My head cannon is that AI = LLMS and machine learning = actually useful "artificial intelligence"

Ah finally, the Good Ole Days

He is an ideal pick for Trump and one that presages the transformation of the Republican Party into a true, multi- ethnic working-class coalition.

Yeah man, nothing says "working class" like a Thiel-backed investor
