I continue to use “twitter” because Musk is a transphobe. If he feels obligated to deadname or misgender people, or defend those who do, I don’t see the need to follow what he wants to identify as, either.
So if Musk were to immediately stop deadnaming trans people, would you immediately stop "deadnaming" Twitter?
If Elmo owned up to and apologized for his transphobia, resolving not to do that kind of thing again in the future, I would be more than happy to call his microblogging service whatever he ends up deciding to name it. I’m not sure this is going to be enough to convince him, but go ahead and forward that along if you think it will help.
