Elmo thinks the "X" makes it "extra cool."

I heard that he also moved the CDN for user-uploaded videos to xvideos.com

OutlierBlue ,

Not all of them. The cute ones are on xhamster.com

model_tar_gz ,

His newest social media venture is focused on a niche of extreme exploration, named the Xtreme Network for Xtraordinary Xploration. You can find it at xnxx.com.

The thing that makes me most sad is that the old Twitter is genuinely why I have the career and connections I do today. Now I can’t even stand opening the site.

TwilightVulpine ,

I feel incredibly bad for small creators that still rely on it for an audience and can't simply afford to market themselves without it.

RizzRustbolt ,

So it's available?

@FenrirIII@lemmy.world avatar

Doubtful. It will probably just redirect

RizzRustbolt ,

He was dumb enough to let X expire, maybe he'll do the same thing here.

HawlSera ,

Now how's Robotnik supposed to tell us if Shadow pissed on his wife without twitter.com

Muffi ,

He'll do it on truth social.

HootinNHollerin , (edited )

What a pitiful community this is.

Stop posting about Twitter

this isnt relevant to technology

JoeyHarrington ,

Is this some type of advanced haiku

HootinNHollerin ,

On technology

Twitter trash served yet again

Imagine spending 40 billion dollars on one of the most recognizable brands in history, so deeply embedded in the public consciousness that any other company would throw virgins into a volcano for a chance at that level of recognition, just to replace all of that branding with your own little name that everyone has been telling you sounds stupid for the last 25 years

CitizenKong ,

Welcome to the mind of a narcissist.

JustZ ,

Dude thinks the cyber truck is cool, and not the dumbest fucking vehicle ever.

pyre ,

i think that gives him too much credit. he's just fucking dumb and bad at everything. he failed upwards so long because he wasn't too visible in the public eye. now he's terminally online and constantly embarrassing himself and his companies.

CitizenKong ,

Yes, because that's what happens when a narcissist has way too much money. A person capable of self-reflection would realize that it's much easier and safer to trust people around you that know more about their respective areas of expertise. That's what good leaders do, they delegate. Musk is incapable of that. The companies he owns are not yet bankrupt despite, not because, of him.

macrocephalic ,

It's so much so that every news article that quotes it still says "X, formerly Twitter".

UndercoverUlrikHD ,

That's because X means absolutely nothing. It's a letter commonly used to fill in blanks. It's an awful name for any company/brand.

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

Remember that "brand X" is the lesser brand that advertising uses when they can't directly name their competitors. Brand X is inherently the cheap crap no name brand.

TheBlackLounge ,

I've seen and prefer "Twitter, now X".

flying_sheep ,
@flying_sheep@lemmy.ml avatar

Twitter (now “X”)

erwan ,

Yes, I mean how many companies get their brand turned into a verb?

etruscan ,

It’s like someone buying Kleenex and going “Nope, it’s called K now.”

enleeten ,

Elon: "Need some Ks, mate"

starman2112 ,
@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

At least K has something to do with Kleenex. It's more like buying Coca-Cola and changing it to J

Beetlejuice001 ,

IMHO it was more about preventing more social justice movements akin to

I don't care, that sycophant can fuck himself.

Still Twitter to me.

Delusional ,

When the business fails and is eventually sold again, it will be changed back to Twitter.

Then again perhaps he won't ever sell it unless he goes completely broke. Just prolonging the damage he does to society as long as he possibly can.

snownyte ,
@snownyte@kbin.social avatar

If he's spent $44 Billion on it, you can rest assure he's not letting it go that easily unless he sees more than half of that come back from a buyer. And the only way he'll see that money is if Apple or Microsoft will bother with it, which they won't.

nyar ,

It wasn't his money.

null ,
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

Sycophant?

shotgun_crab ,

Google X videos for more info

efstajas ,

Pretty funny that it took that long. Expertly executed rebrand.

pyre ,

KISSmyOSFeddit ,

THIS IS AN X-PARROT!

dhork ,

The Twitter bird isnt dead, it's just pining for the fjords

Plume ,
@Plume@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I'll give him credit on this: It's not dead yet. I'm genuinely surprised about that.

BearOfaTime ,

He's doing his level best to kill it.

puppy ,

Not for lack of trying from his part.

SlopppyEngineer ,

Ah yes, the everything-falling-apart-app
