The children’s show known for teaching kids about numbers and letters made a cheeky meme amid the X takeover.

“The letter X will be holding a press conference later today,” read the post along with a screenshot of the letter X on a podium with a microphone.

The always shady Wendy’s account made light of the amount of money Musk shed to buy the Twitter platform last year.

“That’s his most expensive X yet,” read the post.

UK’s Channel 4 wished X luck in its rebrand noting that they rebranded their streaming service by their original name.

“People still call our streaming service 4OD so good luck,” read the tweet.

Some X users were surprised that it wasn’t called 4OD and Channel 4 further clarified they are just simply known as Channel 4.

Similarly, UK’s ITV recently rebranded their on-demand service to ITVX and when an X user asked what they had to say, they replied, “Fuming.”

In another post, ITVX joked they had “an emergency rebrand” swapping the X for the Twitter bird icon.

“Feels like we’ve won twitter today…,” read another post from ITVX. “We mean X woops.”

X CEO Linda Yaccarino opened up about the Twitter rebrand over the weekend following Musk’s announcement saying that the platform was going to be more than micro-blogging and powered by AI.

“X is the future state of unlimited interactivity – centered in audio, video, messaging, payments/banking – creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities. Powered by AI, X will connect us all in ways we’re just beginning to imagine,” Yaccarino posted.

“We’ve already started to see X take shape over the past 8 months through our rapid feature launches, but we’re just getting started,” she added. “There’s absolutely no limit to this transformation. X will be the platform that can deliver, well….everything. @elonmusk and I are looking forward to working with our teams and every single one of our partners to bring X to the world.”
