Elon Musk to Rename Twitter to 'X' Just to Mess With Mark Zuckerberg

SAN FRANCISCO — In an utterly predictable twist, Elon Musk has decided to refer to Twitter simply as 'X'—all in an effort to stir the pot at Mark Zuckerberg's fledgling social media experiment.

"This should really throw Zuckerberg's motor skills into a tailspin," Musk quipped during a late-night board meeting. "Meta’s rather uninspired Twitter clone isn’t fooling anyone, so by embracing 'X' for my version of Twitter, I’ll create a perfect storm of chaos for Zuckerbot and his entourage. I might not be sure how this will unfold exactly, but what I do know is that a shake-up in his oh-so-predictable life would be a welcome distraction."

The Zuckmeister himself recently acquiesced to his Meta minions and launched Instagram's bare-bones Twitter imitation, cleverly dubbed Threads. Despite repeatedly getting pounded in various industries and making his moat-gator project look like yesterday's news, the Zuckinator felt emboldened enough to execute a move Elon has yet to make: stealing the Twitter playbook.

Inside the hallowed halls of Meta, all reports point to absolute bedlam as Musk’s antics continue to unsettle the Zuckster's carefully laid plans. "Elon has Mark scrambling like a kid who lost his lunch money," confessed a Meta insider. "Everywhere you go, you can hear Zuckerberg recalibrating his strategies like a confused GPS. Daily, he’s muttering 'Recalculating, calculating, recalculating' until the next quarter, while simultaneously asking us to vacate the premises so he can draft new protocols for this shifting project."

At publishing time, sources confirmed that the Zuckinator had indeed upgraded his mental processing by indulging in some fast food, fueling even more speculation about his next move.
