I’m personally a fan of his new site for twitter media: xvideos.com.

And the one dedicated to cute animal photos, xhamster.
Threeme2189@lemmy.world 1 month ago
And the one formerly known as twitterntwittertwitter. It’s a bit of a stretch so tell me if you got it.

You guys are joking but Elon is going to ruin porn sites next. Let’s see who has the last laugh then.
mjhelto@lemm.ee 1 month ago
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.

…and breaks it on privacy-preserving browsers
win-win I guess

We’ll definitely start calling it X now, definitely.
BroBot9000@lemmy.world 1 month ago
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?
leftzero@lemmynsfw.com 1 month ago
It’s called xitter, and it’s full of xit(s).
Sunny@slrpnk.net 1 month ago
This is pretty funny actually, I’ll start doing this 😅
erwan@lemmy.ml 1 month ago
Let’s call people who grow up with X the “X gen”.
tsonfeir@lemm.ee 1 month ago
Still gonna squat on to the domain though.
BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 1 month ago
I see that as a good thing. Prevents it rising from the grave.
PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 1 month ago
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.

Also it would me a massive global security issue if allowed to fall on malicious hands. I mean, other than the CEO’s.

Please think of the poor malware developers.
Petter1@lemm.ee 1 month ago
I don’t think they sell those domains
cmrn@lemmy.world 1 month ago
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@lemmy.world 1 month ago
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.

Google X videos for more info
RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 month ago
So it’s available?
jayandp@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
FenrirIII@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Doubtful. It will probably just redirect
RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 month ago
He was dumb enough to let X expire, maybe he’ll do the same thing here.
SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Ah yes, the everything-falling-apart-app
snownyte@kbin.social 1 month ago
I don't care, that sycophant can fuck himself.
Still Twitter to me.
Delusional@lemmy.world 1 month ago
When the business fails and is eventually sold again, it will be changed back to Twitter.
snownyte@kbin.social 1 month ago
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.
null@slrpnk.net 1 month ago
Sycophant?
Plume@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
I’ll give him credit on this: It’s not dead yet. I’m genuinely surprised about that.
puppy@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Not for lack of trying from his part.
BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 1 month ago
He’s doing his level best to kill it.
HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Pitiful sub this is
So long
JoeyHarrington@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
Is this some type of advanced haiku
HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 1 month ago
On technology
Twitter trash served yet again
Protest with rageku

THIS IS AN X-PARROT!

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

Now how’s Robotnik supposed to tell us if Shadow pissed on his wife without twitter.com
Muffi@programming.dev 1 month ago
He’ll do it on truth social.
efstajas@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Pretty funny that it took that long. Expertly executed rebrand.
pyre@lemmy.world 1 month ago
do you mean Xpertly Xecuted
NutWrench@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Elmo thinks the “X” makes it “extra cool.”
Z3k3@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Man I never wanted a cyberdisk to show up more than I do right now
Resol@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
eXtremely egregious.
0nekoneko7@lemmy.world 1 month ago
This dude is high.
starman2112@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
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
macrocephalic@lemmy.world 1 month ago
It’s so much so that every news article that quotes it still says “X, formerly Twitter”.
UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev 1 month ago
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.
TheBlackLounge@lemm.ee 1 month ago
I’ve seen and prefer “Twitter, now X”.
CitizenKong@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Welcome to the mind of a narcissist.
pyre@lemmy.world 1 month ago
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.
JustZ@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Dude thinks the cyber truck is cool, and not the dumbest fucking vehicle ever.
erwan@lemmy.ml 1 month ago
Yes, I mean how many companies get their brand turned into a verb?
etruscan@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
It’s like someone buying Kleenex and going “Nope, it’s called K now.”
Beetlejuice001@lemmy.wtf 1 month ago
IMHO it was more about preventing more social justice movements akin to #metoo
