Social Media Users “Deadname” The Gulf Of America

Not all social media users like the “Gulf of America” name change! According to the U.S. federal government, the body of water known as the Gulf of Mexico is now known as the Gulf of America. However, some netizens are insisting on “deadnaming” the body of water. “Only Twitter and Gulf of Mexico are allowed to be deadnamed” X user @buffys posted, a reference to the social media platform’s name change by billionaire Elon Musk. The gulf’s name change has inspired a host of memes, such as one calling the body of water “Totinos Pizza Rolls Presents Gulf of America Powered by The Home Depot”, posted by X user @cosmepolitics.
