      Counterpoint: do call it x. Calling it by the new brand will kill it faster than calling it the name with brand recognition.

    Attention all X, formerly known as Twitter, gamers: Elon Musk is in great danger and he needs your help to wipe out the bots and woke mind virus, but to do this he needs $1 per year and a couple of Trump Xeets. To help him, all he needs is your credit card number, the three digits on the back, and the expiration month and year. But, you gotta be quick, so Elon Musk can defeat the wokes and achieve the epic journey to Mars!
