What is X?

It's weird that this post called it by the short name. The full name, as you typically see in articles, is "X (formerly Twitter)".

It's kinda like "The Artist Formerly Known As Prince". A few places tried to call him "The Artist", but no one ever knew what that meant.

"The formerly successful website known as Twitter"
