"We're expect folks will go along and stop referring to 'tweeting' and go with the more brand appropriate term of 'x-creting' from now on." Musk said before adding, "'X-cretions' and 'x-creted' are encouraged too.

The fact that I don't know if this is real or a joke tells you how ridiculous Musk has become.

idk if you came up with this but I expect to see this joke a bunch more in the coming days lol

I can't imagine that others haven't had the same thought, but I had not seen anything previously. It's low hanging fruit, but you take what you can get!

Does that make the people on X x-crements?

Why not just go ahead and call it X-crement?
