This is re: my suggest that we call posts here... tweets. Same as one tends to call snot-rags "Kleenex" and resealable plastic bags "Ziplock." Though I don't feel any particular need to stick it to Elon Musk. He's doing a fine job of mangling his 44B impulse buy without any help from anyone else.
This is my favorite solution because making a brand name generic can cost a company their trademark. Just by calling them tweets, we can further devalue the “town square” Musk spent $44B on.
