[Xitter] just announced a smart TV app for streaming video. Or, more accurately, that it claims it’s building one, with absolutely no launch date mentioned. The appropriately-named [Xitter] TV wants to be “your go-to companion for a high-quality, immersive entertainment experience on a larger screen.”
Great… Now we’ll need to make another client team in Jellyfin 😆
Or leave that one out. I don’t think there’s much value in adding right-wing video podcasts, racists, and Russian propaganda to Jellyfin.
How is the X in xitter pronounced? Is it “sh” like in Xi? This seems to fit this time line, but it would be nice to have confirmation.
In my head, it’s more like Zitter
English is a descriptive language instead of prescriptive, so make it happen!
Yes Sh sound is absolutely what is generally meant. Making it shitter.
Is a tweet now a sheet…on the shitter?
That would make sense. 😋
That’s how I use it. And it works.
Justin on MBMBAM recently talked about a “Xeet” instead of a tweet, pronounced “Zeet” and I thought that was also hilarious.
We are back at “Elon says” posts :-(
Yeah, because he is funny.
Your /s wasn’t not big enough, I got you
/s
I don’t think you are riled up enough considering the importance of the issue. /s
Yeah lol it’s crazy, but he actually said that., except I didn’t get the wording 100% right, he didn’t even say “probably”:

I’m going to call it “coughshitter” because that’s what it sounds like
If it integrates properly with tv that will be one thing better than Netflix at least…
You made some giant deal about Musk odor being shunted to the business section but here this is. BARELY qualified as tech news because IT’S HIM. He’s nothing but futureware & farts.
PUT EVERYTHING MUSK INTO YOUR BUSINESS SECTION SO WE DON’T GOTTA FUUUICKIN SEE IT. CHRIST
Let me guess, the streaming services on it will be like DailyWire+, PragerU. What else
Musk probably wanted to create something like WeChat, so that he has all the power.
He’s blatantly stated as much before. He wants Twitter to be the everything app, the WeChat of the US
He’s been saying it since the 90s. His “X App” is just the latest iteration of his want to create an all-encompassing “X” platform for everything from dating to banking.
With all his meddling it’s not even the Twitter of the US anymore
I’m just here to watch Phony Stark continue to light money on fire.
Please god no
Xitter, nice name, sounds like an adolescent skin condition.
I always mentally read that as “shitter”
That’s the goal. (Unsure of sarcasm)
He didn’t get the Twitter app for Roku when he bought them? I remember having to install that app to watch some NFL game or something.
unsubscribe elon musk
Yeah that probably works about as well as unsubscribing from cat facts.

A smart TV app from the guy who pulled Disney channels from the Tesla app due to a bruised ego over a Twitter argument? I can’t wait for this to crash and burn.
When is this guy gonna go bankrupt? Before he even starts his channel I’m already tired of his shit show
