FFS, 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.

Using it, it would go away pretty quickly. Then nobody would have to be concerned about it.

And dropping that other letter altogether.

For me, it's just twitter, or the former Twitter if I'm feeling wordy.
