Retweet. On Twitter and X, an RT is a re-post of someone else's tweet to your own followers, with attribution. Now also a verb ("please RT") and used loosely off-platform to mean "I co-sign this, share it widely". A leading "RT @username:" was the manual style before the platform added a built-in retweet button in 2009.
