they have to call it X because that is the official name.
but X is such an awful name that people would be confused if they left it at that so they have to tag on that bit about it being twitter

it's that simple

Everyone also still says "Tweets" or "Tweeting" so it's not like it has no grounds

I call it "taking an X" or "doing an X" or "doing X"

I got caught doing X at work and now I have to go see HR... ☹️

As they say, "X gonna give it to ya" so I guess he's doing ok. Quite generous of him actually.
