Imagine there being a website so popular that game console manufacturers put a dedicated button on their controllers to take and post screenshots and then you fuck the website up so much that they disable it

I mean, yeah, but also "X" has no name recognition at all. As in, you don't even recognize that it is a name.

If the guy would have called it "Musk's Nazi Paradise", then you would have only had to explain once in the text, that it used to be called "Twitter".
"X", on the other hand, could be the figure of speech for an undetermined quantity or just a typo.

And the truly sad part is, after all this time, this is still true.
