    why do journalists keep referring to Twitter as X?

    it’s just not going to happen, and you lose credibility

      If you hate Musk, call it “X.”

      X has poorer brand recognition and poorer brand sentiment than Twitter.

      Because it changed its name… like what would be the point of calling it Twitter when it’s literally x.com now?

      How do you lose credibility for calling a product by its name? What do you mean it’s not going to happen? It’s already happened. You can call it a stupid rebrand (I agree), but you can’t pretend it didn’t happen… Twitter doesn’t exist anymore.
