Will the name Twitter ever go away? Maybe people will refer to it as X, but I can't see people stopping referring to the posts as tweets. It would be like if so

Will the name Twitter ever go away? Maybe people will refer to it as X, but I can't see people stopping referring to the posts as tweets. It would be like if someone bought the Kleenex brand and changed the name to X. Some people would indulge the corporate move, but most people would continue to use the old name.
This is especially true because there's not an easily-derivable verb from the new name. If Musk had picked a name that could be easily 'verbified', it would be easier to see how people might make the change.
