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 6 months 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 6 months 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
Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 6 months ago
We’ll definitely start calling it X now, definitely.
BroBot9000@lemmy.world 6 months 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 6 months ago
It’s called xitter, and it’s full of xit(s).
Sunny@slrpnk.net 6 months ago
This is pretty funny actually, I’ll start doing this 😅
erwan@lemmy.ml 6 months ago
Let’s call people who grow up with X the “X gen”.
tsonfeir@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Still gonna squat on to the domain though.
BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 6 months ago
I see that as a good thing. Prevents it rising from the grave.
PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 6 months 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.
Sabata11792@kbin.social 6 months ago
Please think of the poor malware developers.
Petter1@lemm.ee 6 months ago
I don’t think they sell those domains
cmrn@lemmy.world 6 months 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 5 months 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.
shotgun_crab@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Google X videos for more info
RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 6 months ago
So it’s available?
jayandp@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
FenrirIII@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Doubtful. It will probably just redirect
RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 6 months ago
He was dumb enough to let X expire, maybe he’ll do the same thing here.
SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Ah yes, the everything-falling-apart-app
snownyte@kbin.social 6 months ago
I don't care, that sycophant can fuck himself.
Still Twitter to me.
Delusional@lemmy.world 6 months ago
When the business fails and is eventually sold again, it will be changed back to Twitter.
snownyte@kbin.social 6 months 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 6 months ago
Sycophant?
Plume@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 months ago
I’ll give him credit on this: It’s not dead yet. I’m genuinely surprised about that.
puppy@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Not for lack of trying from his part.
BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 6 months ago
He’s doing his level best to kill it.
HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Pitiful sub this is
So long
JoeyHarrington@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
Is this some type of advanced haiku
HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 6 months ago
On technology
Twitter trash served yet again
Protest with rageku
KISSmyOSFeddit@lemmy.world 6 months ago
THIS IS AN X-PARROT!
dhork@lemmy.world 6 months ago
The Twitter bird isnt dead, it’s just pining for the fjords
HawlSera@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Now how’s Robotnik supposed to tell us if Shadow pissed on his wife without twitter.com
Muffi@programming.dev 6 months ago
He’ll do it on truth social.
efstajas@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Pretty funny that it took that long. Expertly executed rebrand.
pyre@lemmy.world 6 months ago
do you mean Xpertly Xecuted
NutWrench@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Elmo thinks the “X” makes it “extra cool.”
Z3k3@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Man I never wanted a cyberdisk to show up more than I do right now
Resol@lemmy.world 5 months ago
eXtremely egregious.
0nekoneko7@lemmy.world 5 months ago
This dude is high.
starman2112@sh.itjust.works 6 months 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 6 months ago
It’s so much so that every news article that quotes it still says “X, formerly Twitter”.
UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev 6 months 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 6 months ago
I’ve seen and prefer “Twitter, now X”.
CitizenKong@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Welcome to the mind of a narcissist.
pyre@lemmy.world 6 months 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 6 months ago
Dude thinks the cyber truck is cool, and not the dumbest fucking vehicle ever.
erwan@lemmy.ml 6 months ago
Yes, I mean how many companies get their brand turned into a verb?
etruscan@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
It’s like someone buying Kleenex and going “Nope, it’s called K now.”
Beetlejuice001@lemmy.wtf 5 months ago
IMHO it was more about preventing more social justice movements akin to #metoo
