Until they redirect twitter.com to x.com and not the other way, and actually change twitter on the site, it's still twitter but with a new logo.
I suspect eventually he'll do that though.
I never quite understood the point of twitter though, so never had an account. I dare say there's less chance I'll get one now.
For me Twitter was and I guess still is the best thing for immediate notifications of stuff you like.
I used it for notifications about preorders of limited editions, news, people, etc. It wasn't perfect as some accounts are quite spammy but it was the best thing out there. RSS isn't used as much nowadays, newsletter usually are sent at certain time or delayed so not very immediate and Idk what else is out there sort from those two (or using an equivalent social account).
Always will call X as Twitter. Same as Meta as Facebook Inc, Microsoft 365 as MS Office, or whatever other companies unnecessarily rebranding themselves these days with their ugly less iconic logos.
