- Musk would go freaking nuts. I mean, how many people can he ban from his site if they start calling his baby Xhitter? Especially with open taunts about ‘politely’ and within the rules (until Musk changes them – so much for free speech I predicts) calling X ‘the site formally known as twitter + Sh*tter!’ I don’t know about you but I think all manner of fun and games would ensue and let’s face it. Power mad people like Musk HATE being mocked. Who knows what like of late night Xhitter storm he and Trump would come up with if some news shows mentioned this (what I hope it will become) new trend.
