I think one of the reasons why we're still seeing this done by journalists is because Elon's takeover is probably relevant to whatever it is they're reporting. I've definitely seen articles just refer to it as "X". But whenever it's a story about some crazy racist shit someone said or how poorly their advertising business is doing, it's "formerly Twitter".

That said, I think online people who aren't writing for news outlets and aren't insane will — for the most part — always call it Twitter out of spite until the site either dies or Musk sells it and it changes back.

I'd actually be willing to bet that we (the US taxpayer) paid those corporations for the privilege of their continued existence

I would love to know what substance they think he won on. Unless they mean the racism. They uh, they probably mean the racism, right?
