The app is also "Twitter", the <title> tag is etc. Everyone is going to keep calling them tweets. It's just the logo and redirecting the x.com domain really. Which makes sense IMO (regardless of whether it was a good idea which I'm skeptical), I don't think they should go hard with the rebranding immediately. You need to slow roll it so people don't get confused. The logo is a good start making people notice and get curious without making a big disruption in Google results and mobile app discovery.

They suspended the XVIDEOS account (the porn site), apparently in prep to claim the name...
So searching for "xvideos" on google or DDG is going to be interesting going forward.

@xvideos seems to have been banned since at least 2018: https://archive.li/wH3B3
xvideos.com's account is @xvideoscom and is dated 2010.

To be fair, I find myself calling the things I post (and read) on threads tweets.

"Tweets" shall now be called "Xcrements"
