The rebranding is one of the most stupid things I've seen business-wise during my adult life.

I still go to twitter dot com. And I call them tweets, and everyone does that.

I do personally enjoy saying "X formerly known as Twitter" though.

ex-Twitter
Tweets. Only an idiot would throw away that kind off brand recognition.
Xcrement
Is there an onomatopoeia for the sound a Musk Ox makes? Because it should be that.
xits pronounced zits
Post-merger
Maybe it was a combination of merger and murder. It was an acquisition then a rebrand anyway, not a merger.
Right, a real whodunit anyway.
