The other three quarters are just scared that Elom will sue them if they cut advertising.

(Not really. I suspect many of the other 75% just aren't willing to admit they're planning to loosen ties with Twitter (I will not call it "X") just yet.)

Just call it X-Twitter. It ain't twitter any more, and "X" is just dumb as fuck.

I wasn't sure how to pronounce xi. I have been calling it sheeeter like Ren from Ren and stimpy.

What you’re refering to as Twitter, is in fact, X/Twitter, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, X plus Twitter...
