Elon Musk Calls X As Twitter: Elon Musk, who led the rebranding from Twitter to X, might still be getting used to the new name—or maybe he just prefers the original—as he recently called the platform by its old name. This mistake quickly caught the Internet’s attention, with many joking that the “rebranding is going well.”
The world’s richest person shared a post about the ban on X in Brazil, where he mistakenly referred to the platform as Twitter. He shared a meme of a man lying on a stack of money with the caption, “POV: VPN companies after Brazil banned Twitter.”

Here Are Some Funny Reaction To What Elon Musk Shared
One person joked, “The rebranding is going so well that even the CEO still calls it Twitter.”
Another person commented, “So you admit it’s Twitter.”
A third person corrected Musk, saying, “Elon, it’s called X, not Twitter.”
One user even started a poll asking if the app is Twitter or X.
Another questioned, “Which app did they ban exactly?” in response to Musk’s slip-up.
Elon Musk bought Twitter in October 2022 for $44 billion and changed its name to X in July 2023. He replaced the well-known blue bird logo with a new black X logo. In May, he completely moved Twitter.com to X.com. Visitors to Twitter.com in May were automatically redirected to X.com. A pop-up message read, “Welcome to X.com! We’re updating our URL, but your privacy and data protection settings are still the same.”
Many people still call the platform Twitter and its posts tweets. News sites that talk about X usually add a note in parentheses saying it was previously known as Twitter.
