As an aside, you can tell how successful the rebranding of twitter as “x” has been, since even now more than 2 years after the rebranding news articles still have to add “formerly known as twitter” every time they mention it.
It’s been two years and it’s still going, despite the name change, or, you know, the owner throwing a nazi salute on live television.
It doesn’t seem like the branding was as important as everybody seems to think, or any negative impact was offset by it staying on the news, good or bad, constantly.
Those are changes in parent company names though while the services Facebook and Google still exist. The rebrand of Twitter to X continuing to not stick for people is a much bigger failure on their part than Meta and Alphabet not entering the general zeitgeist.

I still call it Twitter regularly.
To me, X is a windowing system.
Wayland, formerly known as Twitter
Weyland–Yutani
Xitter is the proper rebrand.
yeah i would be calling it twitter if not for xitter.
X reminds me of a porn site and the X itself kinda associated for me as X rated. Kinda dumb why they changed it from Twitter.
That’s why though. He’s incredibly immature.
muskrat loves his x-rated shit publicly visible to everyone
To me, X gon give it to ya
I call it “Exxx, the everything app” sarcastically like Liz from TrueAnon does. I never used Twitter but I just find it funny to call it that.
And x.com is a place people should only go late at night, when they are alone.
That dumbass throwing away the Twitter brand for a damn letter should be proof enough to anyone that he’s a moron

But I also still say Facebook and Google instead of Meta and alphabet

Even Grok AI follows up with that reminder when it mentions X.
