As Elon Musk rebrands Twitter into a company simply known as X, he seems intent on changing the vernacular as well for the site\u2019s fundamental feature. <\/p>\n

Asked overnight what tweets would be called in the world of X, Musk responded perhaps the way one would expect given the suddenness of this branding overhaul.<\/p>\n

\n

X apparently indeed marks the spot for Musk.\u00a0It looks like a tweet may soon be called an X, though the supposed new term doesn\u2019t exactly roll off the tongue, and the branding on Twitter\u2019s \u2014 or X\u2019s \u2014 platform doesn\u2019t reflect the change just yet. Hover over the button enabling you to compose a new update, and the word \u201cTweet\u201d still appears. <\/p>\n

The company formerly known as Twitter apparently has been quicker to formalize other changes, projecting the X logo in its cafeteria and changing conference room names to \u201ceXposure,\u201d \u201ceXult\u201d and \u201cs3Xy,\u201d according to reports out of its San Francisco headquarters.<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen, however, whether the service\u2019s users will be game to adopt the company\u2019s latest lingo. Twitter in its infancy referred to the process of posting updates as \u201cTwittering,\u201d according to Insider, while those who made these posts were labeled \u201cTwitter-ers.\u201d It took a couple of years for the term \u201ctweet\u201d to gain official status. <\/p>\n

More terminology based on the iconic messaging function would likely have to change in X\u2019s reality, as some users were quick to point out. <\/p>\n

Such complications apparently weren\u2019t lost on Musk, however.<\/p>\n

Corporate branding is one thing, but \u201ctweet\u201d is already treated like a verb by millions of people, and breaking that muscle memory won\u2019t be easy for Musk and the X execs. Adding to the corporate intrigue, Meta Platforms Inc.
\n META,
\n +0.35%<\/bg-quote>,<\/span>
\n which unveiled would-be Twitter killer Threads earlier this month, apparently holds the trademark for \u201cX\u201d for \u201conline social networking services\u2026 social networking services in the fields of entertainment, gaming and application development.\u201d Meta declined to comment further.<\/p>\n

One thing is certain: Musk has quite the fascination with the 24th letter. He named his son X \u00c6 A-12, for instance, and his first company was X.com (which became PayPal) and there\u2019s also SpaceX.<\/p>\n

And remember:\u00a0Tesla originally wanted the Tesla Model 3 to be called the Model E, which would have made the lineup spell out \u2018SEXY\u2019, but Ford scotched the plan. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
