      Yes it is, it has… The verb tweet isn’t going away, no one is going to seriously “x” line no one is going to bing anything, but that has nothing to do with the product itself anymore. A Kleenex just means tissue paper to most people, and a tweet is a short message on a Twitter inspired platform… You tweet on x now, because that’s literally the product’s name.
