Currently x.com still redirects to Twitter.com, so I don’t see any issues with calling it Twitter.
99% sure there's to much code with logic checking for the Twitter domain (including in external dependencies!) that they don't know how to mirror the site correctly on x.com
Also wouldn't be surprised to find out X is a problematic name to use when programming a social media website.
Elon could make things even worse by hastening that transition. If the x-twitter app is down for a few weeks and all external connections break for a few month, it’s going to be just fine. I’m pretty sure that it would only improve the quality of life of all twitter users.
