As long as twitter.com redirects to X, it's officially still called Twitter, I don't care what Elmo says

I've had a dig (I have no idea what I'm doing) but in this ASIC registry, seems to show they filed to try and wind up the company, and that was rejected? Again, not a lawyer. (See the "Documents" section)

Edit to add: And they still have their trademark registered, so it clearly still exists haha how bizarre.
