Elon Musk renamed Twitter to "X" as part of his latest company overhaul, but it looks like Meta already holds the rights to the name.

    So instead of tweeting something do they now “X it out”?

      Yes. And for Twitter videos they are now “x-videos”. Should help draw traffic to the site.

        so, I’m just going out on a limb here, but instead of liking something, do you now “x-rate” something?

          No, when you downvote the X simply flips upside down to clearly show you disliked it.
