As the news broke, the internet erupted with a mix of bewilderment and laughter, spawning trending hashtags like Twitter X #RIPTwitter, #twitterx, and even some accidentally confusing it with a popular adult video site, #xvideos. The Twitter X transformed into a playground of comedy gold, as users from all corners of the globe united to celebrate this momentous “Twitter X-travaganza.”
The #RIPTwitter hashtag saw users humorously reminiscing about the “good ol’ days of Twitter” and playfully mourning the loss of the blue bird. Amidst the digital elegies, people couldn’t resist adding some quirkiness to the mix…

Hold on, the Twitter X amusement didn’t come to a halt there! A few users cleverly pointed out that every video on Twitter would now be humorously dubbed as “xvideos,” leading to the swift rise of the trending hashtag #xvideos on the platform. For the uninitiated, xvideos happens to be an adult video site, and as expected, this mix-up set the stage for a flood of uproarious funny memes and videos shared by users, tickling the funny bone of the Twittersphere.
