X is incredibly awkward as a brand. Twitter is still located at twitter.com, the company isn't even dedicated to the namechange enough to redirect to a new domain. What's a tweet now? What's a retweet? Nobody cares. So twitter is now The Platform Formerly Known as Twitter, Attempting to Rebrand to X. And on that platform at twitter.com, people continue to tweet and retweet.
Meta is different. Meta is an umbrella company, Facebook is one of its holdings. There's a legal distinction to be made, because Facebook isn't so foolish as to set fire to their most lucrative brand.

- gremlinsinc 3y agono, Twitter = xitter, when you used to tweet now you take a xit, and retweets are throwing xit.
