This just sounds like a desperate attempt to try and turn a profit before Twitter/X finally shits the bed cuz it ran out of money

I don’t think elon can afford to do that because it would look really bad for his other brands. I think he is better off trying to keep it somewhat alive

“Eat it”

-advertisers, probably

[-] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago

The mainstream ones yeah. But that void will get filled with shady advertisers. It's gonna look like the daily mail on there lol

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Yeah it’s gonna be all scams. Quickest way to ruin an internet website is fill it with scams lol

The only thing that's being "verified" is the credit card number.

What the fuck is this X thing? Sounds like a shitty version of Twitter, like the one that Trump is always ranting on.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

It literally is twitter. It re-branded this week.

[-] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago

But Twitter is one of the best known brands on the internet. It would be mind-bogglingly stupid to just throw that away.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

He announced the rebranding in a tweet sent last Saturday in the middle of the night. You know, like any competent business person would.

Why would anyone want to associate inane internet chatter with birdsong when they could simply associate it with porn? Elon has a very large....brain, and he wants to make sure you think of it as often as he does.

Rumor has it that our thoughts fill an aching void in his soul that can otherwise only be filled with apartheid emeralds or NFTs, but science has yet to find a way to test this hypothesis.

It's ok, we can finally sit down with the family and watch XVideos together :)

It's comically stupid

X.. Elon.. X Elon.. XElon.. XYlon.. I figured it out guys, he's an evil robot whose creator forgot the I part of AI.

Need some sarcastic quotes around "X".

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah, gotta figure something out. Can't really do the sarcastic UpPeR cAsE lOWeR cAsE thing with a single letter.

Why do I have the feeling that this is going to go over like a lead balloon?

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Advertise to who exactly?! It's a barren wasteland there now.

What's the purpose of the megathread? I'm so confused what's going on with this community...
