Thursday on X (Twitter), all users saw the same pinned topic under the “What’s happening?” sidebar.

    X (formerly Twitter; pronounced “ten”) seems to have no floor in how low they’ll go.

      Is this real? Is his child whose name is also X pronounced that way? Dude needs to stop naming things that you can’t pronounce by reading them.

      also did he bother to change the verb tweet? Or is the brand change as half assed as he is?

        Officially, probably not. But it would get under Elongated Muskrat’s skin so much if “ten” gained popularity over the “ex”.com he has been trying (and failing) his whole life to popularize.
