Hey, good news, Elon. Most of us have gone from calling it "twitter" to calling it "that facist shithole that used to be twitter".

Good job wasting 43 BILLION dollars only to see it's traffic literally cut in half, you micro-penised shitstain on society. You will not be remembered as the genius your group of ass kissers tell you you are. You'll be remembered as being dumber than a one brain celled orange tabby.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You're being optimistic. He won't be remembered at all.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

All the biggest disasters are remembered.

Its almost funnier to see every news publication constantly refer to it as "X (formerly known as Twitter"), the constant need to remind people of how stupid the decision was it amusing

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I prefer "Twitter (temporarily known as X)"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

That would imply he or someone else will change the name back to Twitter

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If it closed down, then it would close down as X

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

And we'd still call what it was "Twitter".

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

so it would still be temporary, is the joke. It's just a pune or play on words

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

It was also temporarily called Twitter though

He looks high as giraffe pussy in that picture.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

..........ya know, I'm 40 years old, and up until this point in my life I've never once considered what a giraffe pussy looks like......and my brain isn't capable of doing so. Maybe that's a good thing.

They got a zoo in your town?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

They kick you out if you get too close to the animals genitals :(

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I don't think I like where this is going...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

... To the zoo?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

There's no such thing as deadnaming a company/corporation/brand, they aren't a living entity and have no will of their own, the one offended is their owner.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

except they get more rights

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

It literally isn't Twitter anymore. Twitter and X are very different things. We shouldn't even be pretending that they're related.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Maybe he should buy Alphabet and rename their search engine.

Ooh or he could buy out Kleenex and rename that.

What the fuck would make someone throw out the name Twitter? It wasn't a bad name. It wasn't like...Phillip Morris or something.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

"wasn't a bad name" is the understatement of the year. it was one of the most successful brand names ever. normal people with functioning brains would kill to have a brand that's so ingrained in the language, especially without the threat of genericizing the trademark.

xerox didn't want people to use xerox as a generic verb to mean photocopy, or kleenex the same for a generic tissue.

but Twitter was never used to mean another social media site, and tweeting never means posting on Facebook or Tumblr or whatever. a tweet is specifically a post on Twitter. that's the perfect brand.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

X is still such a stupid fucking name. I feel cringe saying that.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I won't. It will always be twitter, and he bought it because people made fun of him.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

He offered to buy it as a joke, and was forced to finish the transaction because he had taken it too far by actually signing contracts and putting money down. He was gonna go "Just kidding" and pull out, but then the courts told him that this already constituted a legally binding sell and if he tried to back out now he'd go to jail for fraud.

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

That sounds like the courts are fucking stupid and ill-prepared to do their jobs.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (2 children)

deadnames?

Like, something with AEX12? Pretty sure it doesn't mean he has an actual dead child

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

He has a transgender daughter, whom he still calls by her old, male name. Calling a trans person by their old name that they no longer use, is called deadnaming.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Using a trans person's original name when they've chosen a new one

Thanks for actually answering and not just downvoting like some toxic fucks in here. It seems that not even Lemmy is immune from social media's toxicity.
