Elon Musk, the visionary behind Tesla and Space-X, recently made headlines for rebranding Twitter as "X" and urging users to adopt the new name. However, his push for the change sparked controversy when he clashed with author Stephen King, who continued to refer to the platform by its original name. Musk accused King of "deadnaming" X, a term associated with using someone's former name without consent, particularly affecting transgender individuals. This led to a heated exchange, with Musk insisting on the new name and urging King to "respect our transition." The online spat drew criticism, with one user pointing out that Musk has a trans child and he has deadnamed the child. Now he wants people not to deadname Twitter. King's stance was influenced by a report suggesting that X may be violating U.S. sanctions by accepting payments from prohibited entities like state-controlled media and extremist groups. The investigation uncovered instances where organizations like Hezbollah and Houthi rebels purchased subscriptions, raising concerns about X's verification process. King emphasized his opposition to the rebranding by repeatedly mentioning "Twitter" in his criticism of Musk's brand association. The exchange between Musk and King highlights broader issues surrounding corporate responsibility and identity, especially of the LGBTQ+ community. #Queer Up Gay Culture
