    “What about X and a space, either before or after?” software developer Yusuf Alp suggested a potential workaround in response to Berlin’s post.

    “He already has a company called SpaceX,” chuckled Berlin.

    Gold.

      Trailing and leading spaces are almost always trimmed in such cases, but that is indeed very funny.

      This could very well indicate resentment of Twitter employees, they were told to change name to X, they tried and it didn’t work, so they did nothing else.

      Perfect example of notmyjob.
