They could try “I can’t believe it’s not twitter “

Its almost like thats its actual name and nobody (not even Leon) actually considers X its proper name or of any value

I've even heard him call it Twitter in interviews post-rebrand. The man's an idiot.

I dont think he's an idiot per se, I think he's waaayyy in over his fucking head tho. As a fellow autist/asperger (probable) I cant understand how someone like that would let themselves get and stay in such a position. It would be absolute sensory and total being hell for me, he has zero quality of life.

He's much worse than an idiot. He's a grade A narcissist. That makes him an evil idiot.

That sounds like a clear case of being an idiot to me.

Call it 'Elon Musk's Deformed Penis'.

Another spectacular Musk self-own. Sure, they get to keep twitter, but lose the right to the word "Tweet" and the original Twitter logo. That's huge.
