I say just let it continue to lose its brand value by muddying the waters.

I am going to call it twatter just to make people have a moment of "wait did he say what I think he said or did I mishear him?"
The eX-Bird App?
So does a "tweet" become a "message/action formerly known as a tweet?" That's gonna get tiresome reeeeeal fast.
I love it.
"I was on the website formerly known as Twitter and I read this really funny message formerly known as a tweet about how Elon Musk is totally botching the website formerly known as Twitter. I totally action formerly known as retweeted it."

In short, ex-twitter?
I liked the idea of pronouncing it "10" like the Roman numeral. It's not necessarily incorrect, and it fucks with Elon's ego
I’ve been pronouncing it like that sound a gameshow buzzer makes when you get something wrong or run out of time.
I'm going with the Cyrillic pronunciation: Zh
Cyrillic Х is "Kh", Ж is "Zh".
Even better. Sounds like you're a little sick every time you say the name.

That is long, lets acronymize it: TWFKAT, pronounced twif-cat.
Would be nice if we could call them TWATS

Twitter's eX
I for one think X is a very cool name. Nice rebranding!
Keep calling it twitter.
I'm still calling it twitter.
Just refer to it as “My X”
I've been having fun writing a dumb userscript to help me cope with this.
Yes, it can put back a bird of your choosing as a logo, but why stop there.
Instead of tweeting on Twitter, I can now spez on Reddit, skeet on Bluesky, or just eXecrate on X, the Elon way.
It's ridiculous and pointless, and I'm not sorry.

Shitter?
Some publications often do this. At least on Reuteres, as well as other news sites, I've seen that Twitter/X is now referred to as "X, formerly Twitter", probably to avoid confusion.
But "the website formerly known as Twitter" is just too lengthy for everyday conversation. I just call it Twitter, everyone knows what it means
Let's just make it a symbol.
I propose two lines on top of each other on the diagonal.
