Most importantly, there's an established lingo that Twitter invented. All the competitors are doing everything they can to come up with something as catchy as a "tweet." It's funny how clumsy Truth Social's version of "tweeting" sounds. Truthing. Mmkay...
Now the best they can do at "X, formerly known as Twitter" is "Xcreet," which rhymes with tweet, may be technically more accurate, but is far less sellable to the advertisers.
X has always meant has-been, as in: X-president Trump. Or at best, it's a temporary placeholder waiting for something better. That would probably be Bluesky.
This was not well thought out. His previous company told him as much already. He got squeezed out at least in part because of it.
