And I'm going to keep dead naming X as Twitter until Musk stops dead naming his daughter. I never used the site in the first place, but that's besides the point.

ngl, who cares? I've never seen somebody going rabid over calling it Twitter.

I'll dead name Twitter long after Musk stops dead naming his daughter, or he himself is dead. X is a stupid fucking name.

We both know Musk is never going to stop dead naming his daughter, so same difference.

I joined when it was the only way to win a pair of tickets to The Colbert show's last taping. I didn't win, I've never opened the site again. My username is like "adifficultpoo" lol

imo musk is a deadname now after he came out as a nazi. Now its just the nazi or space nazi if there are multiple nazi's in the subject being discussed
