“According to the New York Times, terrorists may be paying for blue check marks on Twitter (I refuse to call it X),” King wrote.
King later followed up his stand against the name by posting the word "Twitter" several times in a message critical of Musk's "need to put your personal brand in everything.”
That sure is some savage trolling... Someone else had a much better comeback
Musk attempted to ridicule King, writing, “Stop deadnaming X… Respect our transition,” in response to King’s tweet.
Alejandra Caraballo, a transgender attorney and instructor at Harvard Law School, criticized Musk’s stance by bringing his personal life into the conversation. Caraballo responded directly to Musk’s post on X with a poignant comment: “Why? You never respected your daughter’s [transition].”

So fucking glad someone called PG out on his bullshit with his daughter.

X now identifies as apartheid media instead of social media. The name change is important to make this distinction.
Twitter FIFY
How did Stephen King troll?
Expertly, I would imagine.
The site metadata refers to it as Twitter for like, those media cards Facebook Messenger and Discord make when you send a link, so I guess to stop my browser from deadnaming the site I should just stop visiting it.

I prefer TwiX, and then let the legal Battle begin...
Nah, Twix is something I enjoy. Twitter is not
can we just go with xitter? yes, that x is pronounced sh :D
I always refer to it as this in text, but say twitter when speaking in person.
I really need SK to just quit twitter, enough already
The shithole formerly known as Twitter.
Blackwater says hi.
Companies aren't fucking people you braindead, full-of-shit, techbro asshole. (Just to be clear, this is directed at musk)
"Companies are people too, my friend"
-Mitt Romney, in an incredibly out of touch statement.
Mitt Romney is a real inspirational character. He got to the top of the political world with nothing but hard work, hussle and a 10,000,000$ loan from his father!

"In fact, if we look at the only marker that counts - money - then corporations are even more people than people are."
Corporations own the domestic housing market, your car through software, you phone and devices through proprietary firmware, and your media through subscriptions.
Corporations are the only citizens.
We are serfs with no rights to own anything.

You know what, I'll deadname it even harder.
I used to call it Twitter/X.
From now on I'll just call it Twitter.
Too bad I can't call it Shitter, but we'll all know that's what we mean so it's okay:-P.
You could call it Zwitter, it is the German word for hermaphrodite.
Xitter would be pronounced shitter or zitter - neither is good.
Xitter! It’s poppin!
Why not twixtter?
That's the site dedicated to many people's favorite chocolate and cookie candy.

Elon is a massive piece of shit, but this is a genuine question because I don't follow everything with him...
Has he been anti-trans?
Not the worst thing, but the dumbest anti-trans thing he's done is loudly proclaim that "cis" is a slur and calling someone cis is harassment.
I'm sure he has, but there's bigger problems with this world that he's a part of.
Very
Yeah he’s been pretty blatantly anti-trans. This article has more info, but the highlight here is that his daughter, who is trans, disowned him.
He directly promoted the transphobic film 'What is a Woman?'. Not sure if he's publicly done more than that, but his trans daughter doesn't want to be related to him at all and changed her name accordingly.
For a while now, yeah.
This is just the first result from Google
https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-shares-anti-trans-content-twitter-2023-6?op=1
tl;dr, At Xhitter, he fired the people who took down promotions for a film inciting anti trans hate and then promoted the film.
I can't say for sure because I don't give much of a shit about him, but IIRC (I read this years ago) he has a trans daughter who's cut communications with him. So probably.

When you want to go to his site what do you type? Twitter.com no? So shut the fuck up Elon
I had to check. x.com actually redirects to Twitter. Which makes Twitter correct. X must be the old name.
Of course it is, X has always been a placeholder. Then after some serious consideration they ended up with Twitter, which is such a good name really, love it. Well done! At least thats how I remember it.
