Possible, if it actually succeeds in ending up everywhere and ubiquitous.

If not, as things are going, media would rather go for more SEO friendly combos like "X formerly Twitter", "Elon Musk's X app", or when things visibly go further downhill "the troubled X app", "the beleaguered X app"...

When you become "beleaguered" in media, it's truly over.
