We’ll definitely start calling it X now, definitely.
We should!
Stop humouring the assholes that are still on that bigoted network.
Even time someone calls it twitter, don’t give them the satisfaction of disassociating themselves from Musky’s X.
Oh so you’re an X’er. You like to Xeet a lot eh?
This is pretty funny actually, I’ll start doing this 😅
It’s called xitter, and it’s full of xit(s).
Let’s call people who grow up with X the “X gen”.
This dude is high.
…and breaks it on privacy-preserving browsers
win-win I guess
Still gonna squat on to the domain though.
I see that as a good thing. Prevents it rising from the grave.
Honestly, I’d actually love to see some rando grab the domain and rebuild the site as it was before Musk, or turn it into a Mastodon instance. Not because I enjoyed pre-musk Twitter, but purely because it would piss Musk off to have to compete.
Nah, just grab the domain and redirect it to X. Watch him explode.
that’s what it does now
Also it would me a massive global security issue if allowed to fall on malicious hands. I mean, other than the CEO’s.
What’s funny is that it’s also probably an internal security risk as well. I mean who knows, there’s probably at least one of their internal servers that still accepts credentials or keys from the dead domain. Not to mention their emails probably aren’t transferred.
All of that could be fixed but you’d have to, ya know, not fire your programmers.
Please think of the poor malware developers.
I don’t think they sell those domains
I’m personally a fan of his new site for twitter media: xvideos.
And the one dedicated to cute animal photos, xhamster.
And the one formerly known as twitterntwittertwitter. It’s a bit of a stretch so tell me if you got it.
Yes
You guys are joking but Elon is going to ruin porn sites next. Let’s see who has the last laugh then.
The only way he could ruin porn sites was if the site’s content were replaced with only videos of Elon gyrating his hips to Eye of the Tiger, while wearing one of those Borat bathing suits, never breaking eye contact with the camera.
Much simpler: His picture from the thumbnail of this post is always going to be next to the pornhub logo and his eyes are going to follow your mouse cursor.
What do you mean ruin? I see that as an absolute win
That’s my fetish tho. Don’t kink shame!
Ah yes, the everything-falling-apart-app
Pretty funny that it took that long. Expertly executed rebrand.
do you mean Xpertly Xecuted
THIS IS AN X-PARROT!
The Twitter bird isnt dead, it’s just pining for the fjords
Google X videos for more info
I don’t care, that sycophant can fuck himself.
Still Twitter to me.
Sycophant?
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.
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.
It wasn’t his money.
I’ll give him credit on this: It’s not dead yet. I’m genuinely surprised about that.
Not for lack of trying from his part.
He’s doing his level best to kill it.
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
It’s so much so that every news article that quotes it still says “X, formerly Twitter”.
I’ve seen and prefer “Twitter, now X”.
Twitter (now “X”)
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.
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.
It’s also a pretty boss jazz fusion band co-founded by drummer Phil Collins

Yes, I mean how many companies get their brand turned into a verb?
It’s like someone buying Kleenex and going “Nope, it’s called K now.”
At least K has something to do with Kleenex. It’s more like buying Coca-Cola and changing it to J
K is something very different LOL
Elon: “Need some Ks, mate”
Welcome to the mind of a narcissist.
Dude thinks the cyber truck is cool, and not the dumbest fucking vehicle ever.
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.
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.
IMHO it was more about preventing more social justice movements akin to #metoo
Pitiful community this is
I don’t care
Is this some type of advanced haiku
On technology
Twitter trash served yet again
A protest rageku
So it’s available?
Doubtful. It will probably just redirect
He was dumb enough to let X expire, maybe he’ll do the same thing here.
Man I never wanted a cyberdisk to show up more than I do right now
