Honestly, when we look back at it, I think Elon the Bitch’s rebranding of the site will be remembered in history as one of the worst rebrands ever done. Because replacing an original name like twitter and a good logo referencing it’s name into a generic and stupid name like “X” (with a logo that might have been plagarised) sounds like an idea only it’s moronic, bigoted owner and his pathetic stans thinks is a good thing.

So, I just noticed twitter.com now redirects to x.com and the extension Alyce suggested me months ago isn't working because it leads to endless redirects. Bye bye to happy days. *EDIT* Update: After checking one of the developers' Twitter page, I opened the site while having the extension deactivated, activated it while open, refreshed the tab and it's now working. Well that explains why my decluttering extensions suddenly aren't working, even if I try that. Just hoping the devs catch up soon enough, blargh.

Even the most random posts get hit with spam now. I was tweeting about a player on the Minnesota Lynx and I get five spam replies completely unrelated to the game or anything I was talking about. 😡

It's not that he stole it, he was just too lazy and used the unicode. You can't actually steal that, see look I can do it here 𝕏 It's basically like naming your website after an emoji and using the logo like 💩 or

1 liked tweet = 10 bots with a follow request.
The numbers are mortifying on this platform lately.

Was reading this book written in 2012 talking about how to redefine success and it completely jump scared me when I turned the page to find a quote from Elon was the first paragraph. So much for relaxing.

I couldn't think of anything worse than live streaming games on twitter, sure twitch has a bot problem but not on the scale that twitter does.
I'd spend more time banning porn bots/crypto bots/crypto bros/graphics designers/pro elon bros/trolls than actually playing the game I'd be streaming, well in between re-starting the stream multiple times due to twitter being that broken that it wouldn't be able to stand a live video going for more than 30 minutes.

not recently as the few remaining twitter office staff have discovered they can distract him with keys during his ketamine binges, they distract him the rest of the time with a full size mirror so he spends his time trying to figure out how he got stuck in the wall.

Maybe people better read on this current issue can answer. Why exactly has Elon not used Twitter to try to compete with YouTube? Small creators are constantly in a battle with how YouTube is moderated. Why not go after that market?

It's disturbing to think this man has the ear of world leaders.

Small creators are constantly in a battle with how YouTube is moderated. Why not go after that market? Because it's ungodly expensive. YouTube itself only survived its first five years because Google could afford to bankroll it and soak up the losses until advertisers started throwing big money at it. YouTube brings in roughly $30 billion in ad revenue per year, which makes up 95% of its total revenue. If the advertisers went away, YouTube would be dead in months. Which brings me to the point: the one thing that Elon has truly been successful in doing during his time as Twitter's owner is driving away advertisers.

sure... our first test subject has only 15% of the wires actually attached to his brain while the other 85% rattle around in there...but we don't want to do surgery to fix it... instead we'll just jam another one of these things in someone else's head instead.
and why they use the word "Retract" it makes it seem like the wires rolled back into the thingor something...no they are loose...

I cannot imagine X would be a good place to stream games
I can't really imagine it's even a good place to stream most things other than talking and even then...
On top of that how tone deaf are you that "Uh oh Twitch is all porn" makes you look super hypocritical when I alone have banned over a dozen porn bots in my comments JUST TODAY?

The only thing he even actually means by it is signaling to the portion of his base that goes rabid over women daring to show their bodies because it means they have autonomy.

It's ridiculous, some of them are even breaking and just going "My pussy in biomy pussy in bio" among other things And some are now just resorting to posting full bare ass and naked women that for all I know are AI generated and not even real people. The more he talks about the problem being under control or solved, the worse it's actively gotten lol

Yeah but if we get rid of them, Elons follower count might go down. We can't have his ego taking massive hit like that.

Small creators are constantly in a battle with how YouTube is moderated. Why not go after that market? He has, he spent a lot of effort pestering Mr. Beast to start using Twitter as a video platform despite it not being worth it financially. When he caved and posted one of his YouTube videos, Elon used the site's ad system to promote the hell out of it and create artificially inflated viewing figures as people made to watch a few seconds of it were counted as views. The problem is people figured out what Twitter did pretty quick so that artificial 'success' hasn't been enough to attract big name creators whtih a fan base of normies. Also minority video creators would be just as likely to be censored as heavily on Twitter, where cis is a slur, and do so without the audience and the minimal revenue they'd get from YouTube so there's zero incentive for them to start using it for that. If you're LGBTQ+ and/or a person of colour would you trust a platform owned by Elon Musk not to censor or randomly ban you? The smaller video creators Elon actually wants to leave uncensored already have Rumble, which is a money pit that's heavily subsidised by Elon's fellow apartheid baby, PayPal ghoul and friend, Peter Thiel.
