I think some of us also had hopes that the new CEO would put a leash on Musk and steer Twitter into calmer waters again, but this was just proof that Musk is still doing wtf he wants and the CEO is just there for show. So people have now abandoned their last bit of hope and therefore abandoned T...I mean X as well.
While I haven't been an active user in a longer time, I've still been a very active lurker until Musk took over. By now, I've only checked Twitter every now and then when bored, to see what happened (as I mostly used Twitter as some kind of news feeds for stuff I couldn't easily follow in any other way). But today I started migrating off completely - going through my follow list one by one and finding ways to follow those things (like local police, local town, local zoo, etc.) in other ways.
For some that means slower news, or only the most important news - which kinda sucks, as e.g. local police info were good to have in real time during major events or when there was some protest going on. For some this even means mailing lists, ugh.
And a few I couldn't replace at all, so I'll miss out on those news. Sucks, but hopefully those people/entities will provide their news feed through some better means sometime now.
There actually was a short-lived attempt to create a Y window system as a successor to X (before Wayland).
Funnily enough the website is still live, despite no progress in almost 20 years: y-windows.org
Hm, welche Geraeusche macht eine einfallende Brandmauer?
X.com was the startup Musk (and others) launched in 1999. It merged with another startup to create PayPal in 2000. Musk bought the X.com domain back a few years ago.
So yea, he's been obsessed with the letter X for a while. Other than SpaceX, there's also Tesla Model X.

Koennte es, wenn Pixelfed es implementiert haette.
Brandmauer mit Rechts
Check out all instances with grad in their name as well as all instances with .ml domains.
Must be really hard to resist the urge to sue Musk over this branding, force him to cease using it, and then directly rebrand Threads as X. Just to rub it in.
Or maybe better, create a new payment platform that is tightly coupled to their social media platforms and call that X.
