So they noticed that it is time to get out of the bog before they start to stink?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Not nearly enough

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Oh noes! eLon gonna sue them! 😮

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

elons gonna rebrand it y next because y do people even bother with it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

well, if you sever a quarter of X, particularly the south-east one, you're left with y.

looks like another rebranding exercise is in the mix?

The other three quarters are just scared that Elom will sue them if they cut advertising.

(Not really. I suspect many of the other 75% just aren't willing to admit they're planning to loosen ties with Twitter (I will not call it "X") just yet.)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Just call it X-Twitter. It ain't twitter any more, and "X" is just dumb as fuck.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What you’re refering to as Twitter, is in fact, X/Twitter, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, X plus Twitter...

I use newsgroups btw

Xitter. Pronounced Shitter

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I wasn't sure how to pronounce xi. I have been calling it sheeeter like Ren from Ren and stimpy.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

the rest will just call it unplanned

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

We forgot to renew our contract

Musk knows he can’t hurt the big companies in court, that’s why he’s mostly suing small non-profit watch dogs.

Only a quarter? Who are they trying to advertise to at this point? Neo-Nazis?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

$2B of advertising, even.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 months ago

The vast amount of liberals who still refuse to drop the platform because muh followers and muh reach.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Neo Nazis need gold coins too!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

"We buy gold" ... "with bitcoin"
