Here\u2019s everything we know about it. On July 24, 2023, Elon Musk\u2019s Twitter began rolling out a rebrand of the popular social media site. Now called \u201cX,\u201d users of the platform quickly made it clear that they aren\u2019t fans of the new brand. Among the chatter about the rebrand, many were left wondering what to call posts on the site as the preexisting \u201cTweet\u201d is synonymous with \u201cTwitter.\u201d A fake \u201cX Help Center\u201d showing \u201cHow to Xeet\u201d with viral just hours after the switch to X. Here\u2019s everything we know about it. Are tweets now called Xeets? At the time of writing, X has not revealed a new name for posts on the former Twitter site. However, many users have been convinced by a screenshot posted by Brett Dashevsky claiming that the \u201cHow to Tweet\u201d page in the Twitter Help Center had been updated. Showing \u201cX Help Center\u201d in the top left of the site, the screenshot says \u201cHow to Xeet\u201d alongside instructions on how to do just that. \u201cA \u2018Tweet\u2019 is now officially referred to as a \u201cXeet\u201d according to X\u2019s new help center page,\u201d Brett said in the tweet. It quickly went viral, amassing almost 13 million views in less than a day\u2019s time \u2014 and many people were left to believe that the screenshot was real. However, at the time of writing, the Twitter Help Center page in the screenshot still reads \u201cHow to Tweet\u201d with the company\u2019s former, more recognizable branding. It\u2019s possible to edit every single web page locally using your browsers dev tools, which is presumably what Brett did to create the viral post on X. We\u2019ll update you if X does update that page, but, in the meantime, we\u2019re all left without a proper verb for posting on the newly-branded site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cHow to Xeet\u201d image explained: False X Help Center screenshot goes viral X\/TwitterA fake \u201cX Help Center\u201d screenshot showing \u201cHow to Xeet\u201d has gone viral just hours after Elon Musk began rebranding Twitter to X.
