We all know Twitter is being rebranded as X, so we presumably should no longer be calling Tweets "Tweets", so what are they called now? The best answer gets 10 karma and a verified checkmark*

Now everything is X.

The product: X. The account and profile: X. The posts and comments and reposts: X.

Have you seen X's X? Yes I Xed it.

So that’s why I’ve been searching for “XXX”

[-] TheHalc@sopuli.xyz 4 points 11 months ago

Yes and No? Also X.

Based on other Musk products, the answer is "sex".

"I sexed last night about pony poops."
"He sexed at me about goat groping."
"She's not sexing with me anymore."

Xits. The x is of course pronounced with the sh sound, just like the platform Xitter.

“Tweet” is now up for grabs. All similar platforms should call them tweets.

[-] IntentionallyAnon@lemm.ee 13 points 11 months ago

Elon said they’re X’s

[-] construct_@lemmy.ca 14 points 11 months ago

I'm sure he knows a lot about exes

[-] chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 9 points 11 months ago

And as stupid as that is, it's even wrong. It would just be Xs. No apostrophe.

[-] IntentionallyAnon@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

Tell that to Elon

It's Elon, so they'll probably be called "harambes"
