I have no doubt she receives a crazy amount of vitriol on Twitter. I do and I'm a nobody.
She can tweet but it's probably not a place where she can engage in conversation

Oh he thought about. He got the idea already way back in the 90s when he wanted to call paypal "X". And he named his son "X Æ A-Xii". He's completely bonkers about the name and has probably been thinking about it for 20 years from every angle, including the pornographic one. But he still did it.
I'm too young to remember new coke, but I have heard the tales at the campfire that elders tell. This rebranding sounds like it's on par with that, and give it a year or two and it'll switch back to twitter because X is just too generic.

Sounds more like zhitter, or getting the zhits,
but I'm no expert.
Perhaps Barbos will come explain American culture to us.

It’s our fault for not accepting his superior expertise in the subject.

New Coke took the dominant product in the market and changed it to be like the runner-up. It was probably the greatest marketing blunder in history. It was an order of magnitude worse than what Musk has done, which is basically taking chicken shit and turning it into pig shit.

I'm starting to believe this is all intentional. He was forced to buy Twitter because of his poorly thought out boasting. So he is turning it into the biggest internet dumpster fire, fucking with all its users as he goes in retaliation.

Chinese Pronunciation Guide for Beginners - Pinyin
A complete guide to help beginners to learn Chinese pinyin. Check out how to speak Mandarin Chinese pronunciation perfectly!
When they put Chinese sounds to the Roman alphabet they did so in a logical fashion, making a one-to-one mapping between letters and sounds. To the extent that they could make them the sound the same as English they did so, but some letters weren't needed and got recycled. X is one of them, it's pronounced "sh" as in "sheep".
