I've heard someone call them X-Cretions
IDK, I think X makes a more "Sh" sound. So you would be putting out a Xeet, on Xitter.
I think the X makes a lateral click sound like in isiXhosa, Elon Musk is after all a South African with a good family history of respecting the local indigenous cultures
I get my understanding from the friend in middle school who taught me Chinese communism is based, actually. His last name is Xi, and I was always told to pronounce it "Shi".
Looking into it.
Shitting on the shitter
brb gotta take a xit on the xitter
Yes. And I use the true chapo trap house name: "Elon Musk's Dumpster Fire formally known as Twitter.
I watched 
's interview with the CNN guy because I enjoy seeing him say unhinged shit, and every time he talks about it, he refers to "posts on the X platform." He says the whole thing, every time. No shorthand or less awkward branding. It's gloriously dumb.
“X” will never really be the name as long as the website is still twitter.com.
Phone lady: X Post Dial de gozaimasu.
Office worker: Etto ne, ano ne... Daishikyuu ne, tweet wo shitai n'desu kedo ne...
Phone lady: Sumimasen, mou "tweet" de wa nakute, namae ga kawarimashite, kongo wa "post" to yobu you ni shite kudasai.
Office worker: Aaa, "post" ne, "post" ne, hai hai, jaa post wo onegai shimasu.
