Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsFFS, how long do we have to hear 'X, formerly known as Twitter'? I shudder every time I hear or read it.
Twitter changed its name 4 months ago. The only formerly known as I ever want to hear about is the artist formerly known as Prince. The artist formerly known as Prince is a legend. Elon is a legend in his own racist mind.

It'll always be twitter, or xitter ("shit-ter") as far as I am concerned.
