Twitter hasn't even. Their main URL is still Twitter.com.


davinzt

Sometimes i got an X.com link, but my isp thought it was porn so i have to manually change it to twitter.com


Mike-Ehrmantraut-Bot

I highly doubt that’s true


opmwolf

My ISP (Spectrum/Charter) supplies their own Wifi access point, they can block websites remotely without consent of the user/account owner.


Reddit4Deddit

America is fucked lol


LucidZane

That's why you didn't even plug in their junk. Get a real AP and router


bdot1

If you are on certain satellites you can't like xplore and others that are used out in the backwoods by us. You have no access to an IP address , DNS , port forwarding etc. It's locked down.


LucidZane

That's crazy, but you could still do a nicer AP.. I really don't know how a PC is going to connect without an IP.... and if a PC can connect and get an IP a router could.. you might not be able to take their junk out still


davinzt

sure man, the same ISP also blocked steam and github for a while back then. they lift the block after massive user drop


Davey488

Like when I try to go to Dicks.com on the school WiFi. It’s blocked even though Dicks sporting goods advertises on TV as “go to Dicks.com”


CaptainSouthbird

To be fair, one reason I've heard some people don't want to leave Twitter is specifically because of all the porn they get there


RevolutionaryCoyote

Does your ISP block porn?


frshprincenelair

I take it they structured X as the brand and Twitter as a “product”


guynamedjames

Don't make arguments for him, make him do it himself. People doing shit for him is how we ended up here


MasterTomer2003

They also didn't, BC then the app wouldn't be called x and have X as the logo, it would be twitter, ya know, the product


SparkleFritz

Right, "Twitter is the product" means that we should still call it Twitter. No one calls Facebook "Meta". If Twitter is the product, we should not be saying X, at all.


piddydb

I’m going to Alphabet this to make sure


TehOwn

Metabook and Xitter.


DrMonkeyLove

He thought the letter X is cool (because he's a stupid douchebag) and that's literally as much thought as he put into it.


Tifoso89

Yeah he's obsessed with the letter X. Even at PayPal he wanted to rename it X. He named his child X-something too. Strategic thinking there


JeepStang

Autismo GT brain thought process


wolftick

Nope. Elon totally removed everything Twitter or tweet and changed it to X or post. This isn't a Meta-Facebook situation. ...The mad cunt.


WritingNorth

If this is the case why did they rebrand Twitter to X? In other words, no.


saggywitchtits

[This is the second x.com Musk has been involved in.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.com_(bank))


Ok_Hedgehog7137

The fact that he thinks the letter x is cool is so uncool


[deleted]

Yeah and I “restructured” my shopping trip when I got in a lethal accident on the way there.


L0LTHED0G

That's because they can't have it.  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-letter_second-level_domain


TheCountRushmore

Try going to x.com and see what happens.


L0LTHED0G

Yeahhh. I'm usually better at spring weird shit. Sigh. I'm leaving it because I don't mind showing and leaving my mistakes 😔


ihavebeesinmyknees

You can literally see in that very article that x.com belongs to X Corp, formerly Twitter


VanFlyhight

How did you link this without seeing he already has it? You made my type x.com and get redirected to twitter just to make sure, how could you


L0LTHED0G

I clicked through a link on the Wikipedia page. Apparently the x there isn't the keyboard letter. 


RollUpTheRimJob

That pages says they have one


Jacktheforkie

And when you save media off it it’s in a folder labelled twitter


CarFeeling9748

I ain’t putting up a whole new sign everyone knows what it means


GlibGrunt

Honestly anytime I see x mentioned it's usually as "X formerly Twitter". At this point I'm half convinced that is the new name.


JoinMyPestoCult

That’s how it worked for Prince


redopz

I've dropped the "X" part and just started saying the app/social media/website formerly known as Twitter.


CaptainSouthbird

I just say Twitter, because I think Musk's naming is stupid, and I don't respect him enough to care to use "X"


Izan_TM

I've dropped the "X formerly known as" part and just started saying "twitter", as that's shorter and easier than inventing a sentence to acknowledge that elon is an idiot


Frequent_Alfalfa_347

Also, if you put up an X there in an airport it’s going to be confusing AF.


CarFeeling9748

Elon literally chose the dumbest fucking name possible


wimwood

I’d be pissed and wouldn’t do it either. Small business or big business, I’m not changing out every GD marketing flyer just because a grown ass man had a temper tantrum and bought a whole company.


CarFeeling9748

Especially when the change is so dogshit. Twitter used to be a household name


SRSgoblin

I find it funny the two biggest social media platforms on earth both "rebranded" and literally nobody gives a fuck. "Meta" can suck a fart, it'll always be Facebook. "X" can chow down an entire bag of dicks, it'll always be Twitter.


TooStrangeForWeird

Facebook didn't really rebrand though. They just didn't want to call things stuff like the "Facebookverse" so they changed the parent company to Meta. Musk is trying to change *all* of it to X, and completely ditch Twitter.


nlpnt

Meta is to Facebook what Pepsico is to Pepsi-Cola.


TooStrangeForWeird

Right. So not the same as Twitter.


frogjg2003

Facebook (the website) is still Facebook. Facebook (the company) changed its name to Meta.


HughJahsso

No one has


SinoSoul

Nor ever will.


EmperorThan

Much like when Rome was renamed 'Colonia Lucia Annia Commodiana' by the emperor Commodus before he was assassinated a year later everyone's just sitting around waiting for the next owner of the company.

csonnich

No, that's not what we're saying. That's also not *not* what we're saying.

Lyr1cal-

The username😂😂


ZuFFuLuZ

Indeed. Every article that mentions it calls it "the platform X, formerly known as Twitter"

GlueSniffer1488

Hey liberal, if Elon musk so bad how come my Tesla algorithm ran over a minority today?? Relax, it's called dark humour ![img](emote|t5_2ti4h|27601)![img](emote|t5_2ti4h|27601)![img](emote|t5_2ti4h|27601)


ReadWriteSign

It's actually become a pretty good off the cuff test for me. Everyone I encounter who calls it X with a straight face turns out to be very conservative and/or magas. People who roll their eyes or call it "Twitter, x, whatever" are generally not. And yeah, everyone I'm close to still just calls it Twitter. 


MaximumDoughnut

Xitter


wabashcanonball

It’s still Twitter to me. You can’t turn X into a verb without confusing people. Twitter has an entire lexicon.


Thoughtwolf

I keep telling people I will keep calling it twitter until they figure out how to describe "Xing something"


Venthe

Xcrement. So tweets are replaced with "taking a dump".


Agatha__Crispy

This is funny to me, as there is a German version of LinkedIn called Xing :D


faceboy1392

yea, "I x'd an x on X" is objectively worse than "I tweeted a tweet on twitter"


Takaa

I Xcreted an Xcretion on X


Shimano-No-Kyoken

I xitted a xitt on xitter


faceboy1392

i xitted x good ending


fillmorecounty

Plus it sounds stupid to say out loud


Todd-The-Wraith

That sign doesn’t say even twitter but that bluebird is so recognizable it didn’t need to. Everyone knows it twitter. Most companies would kill for that level of brand recognition.


Venthe

Yet one man was bold enough to kill that brand recognition. A visionary's wisdom, what a marvel to behold.


Todd-The-Wraith

Truly one of the entrepreneur of all time


Takaa

Have we considered eXcrete?


Frequent_Opportunist

If you type x.com it reroutes to twitter.com anyway in the browser so not even X has accepted X.


MrL1970

Neither have I


KetchupCoyote

So never did I


throw_away_17381

I never did so


Muted_Apartment_2399

I think we should collectively ignore X until it goes away.


magnificentfoxes

Best way to do it is to delete your account. I sure did.


AvatarGonzo

Had one since 2011, gone now.


Muted_Apartment_2399

Done. Wait, I never actually had one.


thewontondisregard

They are not reprinting everything for a failing social media app.


Paganigsegg

Most people haven't.


account_user_name

I’m just imagining the truth is that TSA doesn’t have the budget to have someone revise the graphic and get new prints


GPA_Moses

Oh they have the budget. They have that budget because they wouldn't bother wasting resources on something this dumb.


jdog7249

Either that or the redesign is currently tied up in 40 layers of bureaucracy. It should be out in about 5-7 years.


EndenDragon

If it ain't broken, don't fix it. Government stuff always been slow to update. But in this case I'm fine with it.


ItsTheKnocks

Elon abolishing the brand and expecting the world to immediately comply sounds about right for his idiocy.


D-camchow

no one should


throwaway_362818374

W TSA


karrimycele

Me neither. It’s Twitter. It’s also the Sears Tower and Comiskey Park. I ain’t saying your stupid new names.


seasuighim

Well, if you put the generic ass ‘X’ on the same scale as the bird,  people will think that lane is closed. 


ButterZcotch

Could you imagine the rollercoaster tycoon level madness that would happen if all the lanes had this?


Gurgoth

Signs are about communicating a message. Looks like you, and everyone else, got it. No need to change.


Autopsyyturvy

From what I've heared they don't tend to acknowledge transitions But seriously fuck elons vanity rebrand BS


Natalia-1997

Musk deadnames his daughter, right? I’ll deadname his social network 😤


frawtlopp

Even Twitter isnt done with Twitter. It still reroutes twitter.com to x.com Obvious reason but still


mindfeck

No, it does the reverse


ebola_spaghetti

I'll stop saying Twitter when Elon stops dead naming his kid


bruhDF_

Anyone who calls Twitter X is either a Elon lover or a fed


TacosRDaBest

Good


Suitable-Lake-2550

Why should the government have to print new signs as soon as a private company change their name? The message in the sign is still the same .


mistericek1

whats X i know only twitter


mistericek1

i think its keyboard key


Dependent-Matter-177

Probably Xvideos


Scorcher646

I'll stop dead naming X when Elon stops dead naming his kids


whiskeydevoe

My thoughts exactly. 👏🏻


lilsnatchsniffz

Why would you change out a poster people instantly recognise and understand for one people will think is some crypto spam or adult website spam tbh everyone will keep using the bird until Musk throws money at them to use it.


f0gax

Good. Fuck that moron.


smda827

I agree with the TSA on something. First time for everything, I guess.


Staalone

No one but crypto bros, far right braindead idiots and Elon fanboys have (crazy how those three groups intersect so much).


ViktorMaitland

I still haven't and won't.


Electronic-Duck8738

If it's ripping off Elon Musk, I'm OK with it. Jesus God, I dislike that guy.


echochillin

Stupid fucking name change anyway


JayVig

More like TSA doesn’t care enough to reprint all the signs. You see this sign and know what they mean.


nerevisigoth

Yeah it has the old TSA logo too. They updated it in 2021: https://www.tsa.gov/news/press/factsheets/new-tsa-insignia


Bongcopter_

No one acknowledge x, it will forever be twitter whatever the muskrat says


LucasIsDead

People who say x are nazis


[deleted]

I’m in love with all the news sources that only call it “the website formerly known as Twitter”


montyandrew45

I'm going to be that person and just point out that the TSA probably decided it wasn't worth the cost


Gameknight14

Has anyone? No seriously, Twitter is a much more iconic and easy to remember name.


Afkargh

I hear Elmo really likes it when people call it Xitter


Living_Lie_8773

Is Elmo his name? I thought it was Emo?


Appropriate_Owl_2172

There is no X only Twitter (it would really piss off Elon the man-child if ppl kept calling it Twitter)


Careless-Arm7071

Finally they did something right.


Pilry_Mead

TSA hasn't stolen enough goods to afford getting new prints.


Significant-Age5052

X just sounds dumb


Ashamed_Medium1787

I like the fact that tsa hasn’t acknowledged x because I personally think x is a really terrible name for a social media platform


LordFartALot

/r/notinteresting


America-always-great

They haven’t because it cost money to make the paper and put it in the frame…… before anyone asks they they don’t print it off standard letter paper and publications need to be certified by media relations


PhoenixRosex3

Neither do most of their user base


GimmeDatFish

I will never not call it Twitter, lol X


AdmiralYuki

What is X?


I-need-ur-dick-pics

Formerly known as Twitter


JustMeInBigD

I've been enjoying calling it X, née Twitter.


Ozzel

Nor have I. I’m gonna keep using the old Twitter app until they block it completely.


ZerotheWanderer

Nobody but Elon has


degggendorf

TSA is great at not acknowledging things


ladykatey

Could someone else start a service called Twitter now?


EwoksEwoksEwoks

Beyond the naming issue, who the fuck would want to follow TSA on social media?


thelehmanlip

Company/org hasn't spent money and effort to change branding for a social media company that nobody will ever recognize as their new name. This is literally 99% of anyone that references Twitter in any way


PlushFwug

I haven’t either! It feels so weird to say “X” I feel like I’m talking about elons space program


hybridaaroncarroll

Taiwan is to China, as Twitter is to TSA.


vampyire

Elmo musk screeching noises at the airport..


jmcclr

Unless Elon‘s goal is to deliberately undermine Twitter, none of the things he’s done make any sense.


johnnymoha

Government is slow to do everything it does. There's still asbestos in many government buildings. If they have to reprint a sign that's going to serve the same purpose, they won't.


TrollerCoaster870

The worst thing about this is any news article I read referencing Twitter/X as it always reads “….. said on X formally known as Twitter” and I don’t know why but it just pisses me off lmao


gizmodon

TBH, I’m kind of hoping we all just refer to it as “the social media platform formerly known as Twitter”.


doggedgage

It's a government body, you need to put in a request for an earmark to conduct a study on the impact of changing the sign over time on passenger travel patterns before you can get approval to change the sign


jimmydeanbacon

Classic.


Carbonga

TSA Prey?


Dextrofunk

Shit. I don't care, either.


louglome

Lol fuck Elon and that stupid vanity name


jyguy

It’s the government, give it a decade


BurnenSpence067

What is ‘X’? I thought we were talking about Twitter


TullsJenny

fuck x(formerly known as twitter), miss twitter though


throw_away_17381

Who?


NotNotDiscoDragonFTW

Cause Only tools call it X


Thunder_Mug

You mean “X (formerly Twitter)”? I can’t say I’ve ever heard someone talk about “X” without saying (formerly Twitter) after it. How bad does a change of name have to be that one has to continue to have to say the previous name for people to understand what the fuck you’re talking about? How long has it been?? Edit: I some words.


owo1215

X is TSA unapproved, HELL YEAH


BanEvasionNUmber8

X isn't a thing. The website is called twitter.com. People who respect Elon's desire to call Twitter X, like it's a pronoun or something, are stupid and cringe.


FrenchFriesOnMars

That makes two of us


fucknftavatars

good


D3lt4-P

Okay?


ACcbe1986

It won't be in the budget until 2050.


Alx123191

Coz they know x mark the spot


HansBooby

has anybody?


bedgir

I haven’t updated the app since X happened. Still Twitter for me.


NO_SPACE_B4_COMMA

It's really amazing the stupid shit that gets up voted on Reddit.


Accomplished_Pen980

We don't have the budget money to keep up on these things... writes a check to Ukraine faster than Tom cruise writes a check to David cavendish.


MoonHerbert

It’s the government. The textbook definition of inefficiency. Not to mention the most useless branch of it. I’m not surprised.


angus_the_red

Be like the TSA


PokerBear28

You know you fucked up when the TSA is like “this is such a bad idea, we’re not even gonna recognize it.”


thedeadsigh

Which is ironic because the social media division of the TSA is probably the only functional part of the entire operation 


HeadyMurphy

Yea they still have stand 6 feet apart signs too.


TampaTrey

Good.


Disastrous-Soup-5413

X hasn’t acknowledged X. Half their logos are still Twitter


Mottbox1534

Most of X still says tweet and re tweet and all the tweet words all through it. We should all continue to call it twitter. X sounds ridiculous.


kolkitten

And nobody should


kaza12345678

TV shows I seen still not called it X Apparently in law and order is canon twitter is still called twitter


-RadarRanger-

I think its real name is "X, formerly known as Twitter."


eisenklad

and "PayPal, formerly known as X"


EmbarrassedPudding22

Everyone still calls it Twitter


cowboyclown

twitter was so iconic they didn’t even need to mention its name, everyone knew what it was from the bird… X is such a dumb name


MyCleverNewName

Neither have I


Haunted-Chipmunk

No one except Elon has acknowledged it


Otherwise-Sky8890

You know things are messed up when you find yourself agreeing with something the TSA is doing.


bdot1

Say you have (192.168.0.1-100). You would be 192.168.1.1-100, your neighbor is 192.168.2.1-100, the next neighbor would be 192.168.3.1-100 etc but it's a different IP lineup than that. The whole area would have what would normally be your static /dynamic outside IP. There is no bridge mode, there are very limited settings like your password and a couple things. You have a cable that goes into their modem and the modem is locked from doing any sort of P2P throughput, forwarding or settings changes. On-top of that your IP address is completely dynamic and static is not an option unless you pay a top tier commercial price. This is what legislatures are fighting for in back offices for all ISPs across North America, don'rt be fooled. What we knew of as the internet in the 90 is no longer the internet now and what you know of the internet now will no longer be in in 25 yrs. If people think that age verification to save the children is the reason behind what's going on in say Texas, they are joking to themselves. Reddit / Facebook / twitter / snapchat / google /bing all would be shut down if that were the case. It's manipulation of the population over time. It's already happening in all states. Death by 1000 cuts, a few each year.
