The new brand is alt.conspiracy.black.helicopters. Elon bought that too so he could fold it into “X,” the app for barking lunatics.

“The freedom of birds is an insult to me. I’d have them all in zoos.” - Elon Musk

Assuming birds = users
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I think it might also be accurate if he’s talking about actual birds. This extinction event isn’t limited to social media platforms.
SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 1 year ago
So all Twitter users are going to be ex-users very soon.
rafadc@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It can be Messtodon. Like mastodon but far worse.
mister_flibble@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Muskodon
madcaesar@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I don’t know know nothing about mastadon, but the name is awful. It’s like a mix of mastrubate, hardon, mast, and don.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Or, you know, a type of ancient elephant…
Unsaved5831@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Honestly I don’t know how relevant he is any more. He seems just like banging his head around and acting nonsense these days.

A future Twitter documentary is going to blow Fire Festival’s out of the water.

How apt the twitter logo will be a close sign.

Hey leave NON-TWITTER birds alone you a$$hat! 🤣
AeonFelis@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Get rid of all the birds? Sure, why not. As soon as we’re done with the bees.

…the birds that make the tweets? So… the userbase?
Hikermick@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Is this intentionally vaque to stir curiosity/anticipation? Because I still couldn’t care less

You mean the brain implants? Soon, Musk will be able to beam pretentious statements directly into your thoughts
Gerula@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Well we definitely did that when he entered the story. Not that before Twitter was more than a venom riddled shouting platform but all hope was lost when this conman bought it …
stagen@feddit.dk 1 year ago
Musk, you dingus! We already know the birds aren’t real!
AnonymousLlama@kbin.social 1 year ago
Old mate can't do copping Ls, first being forced to buy Twitter and then trying to force Twitters old legal council to pay back the money they were paid. These weird tweets are just the next saga in his sad story
SerotoninSwells@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Ah yes, from Twitter to Shitter.
Alwaysfallingupyup@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Twitter was in big trouble before he bought it. Stop acting like did all of the harm ! he did little of the chaos . They had huge amounts of people getting paid for doing nothing ! Thats why they pushed so hard to sell
KevonLooney@lemm.ee 1 year ago
They wanted to sell because he stupidly offered a huge amount in a binding agreement. Musk had already bought a portion of Twitter. He wanted to drive up the price with a fake offer, then find a “problem” so he could sell at the higher price. It was just a pump and dump scheme.
The problem is, it’s very hard (and illegal) to do that with someone else’s company. Twitter’s lawyers wrote the purchase agreement pretty well. They basically forced Musk to either buy the company 100% or go to jail, courtesy of the SEC.
supercriticalcheese@feddit.it 1 year ago
After he bought twitter shares he only had to disclose that he did so with the SEC that was it. He did that late.
None of this requires making an offer for acquiring twitter. But that’s what he did he made an offer to the Twitter board for 44B$, after the Twitter board realised it didn’t appear to be a joke they accepted the deal.
At this point nothing was signed, this was the time before confirming the merge deal to do his DUE DILIGENCE which he didn’t do, he was in his right to back out at this point.
Instead he signed the contract and only afterwards realised he didn’t want to pay 44B$ for twitter after all. This was already too late and nearly impossible to do, the deal was signed…
IHeartBadCode@kbin.social 1 year ago
I think you might be missing the $44 billion issue here.
Yes, Twitter was in trouble and was having issues staying anywhere this side of the black line. With free flowing capital and threats of ever increasing interest rates, the fire was absoultely in the building, no doubt.
What this donkey called Elon Musk thought would be a great idea is to build a fucking oil refinery, jet fuel distribution hub, and solid rocket fuel production plant beside the building that was on fire. Like when you burn $44B, whatever fucking debt and issues was the matter, all of that ceased being THE PROBLEM. They stayed problems no doubt, but they were no longer THE PROBLEM.
Like if I paid some person $100k/yr, 100 of those people is just $10M, a thousand of them is just $100M. That's just 0.2% of the crater that Elon just created. You could literally have a thousand people getting $100k/yr doing absolutely fuck-it-all, and you could pay them for a century, and that's just 20% of what Elon just did.
Yes, Twitter had problems. None of those problems are within the same galaxy as the problem Elon just made.

davetansley@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I mean, it’s worth a try… what else could have possibly caused such a steep downturn in Twitter’s fortunes since Musk took over and started enacting his policies?
VanillaGorilla@kbin.social 1 year ago
Space Jews. Obviously!
spittingimage@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Whenever I click on an Elon Musk post, it’s to guess which household cleaning product he’s huffing this week. I’m never disappointed.

It's not a new idea. He is talking about his X brand he has been moving Twitter to for a while.

He will call it shitter or something.
Hubbelini@geddit.social 1 year ago
I hope he replaces the bird with a checkmark.
zencat@lemmy.world 1 year ago
He should have stuck with cars and rockets
metallic_substance@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Eh. Is he even good at that?
Maestro@kbin.social 1 year ago
Not un the least. But back then he at least had the sense to hire people who are good at it and pay them large sacks of money.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
No.

HortiEastwood@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Eh, he did a decent enough job hiring the right kind of people.
