"it's an x! You send X's on X!"

-Elon, probably.

In a recent interview this came up, and the best word be said he could come up with was post, but he was hoping for something better.

I don't think they'll ever get something good like tweeting on twitter. X is terrible for that.

By every metric it's horrible. Searching for the term, using it as a verb and noun, ease of saying it in a sentence, recognition, as a logo, color scheme, the fact that X sounds a lot like ex as in something I previously engaged in but no longer do (irony) . I mean I could go on and on.

I refuse to believe no one told him how poor of an idea it is, I think he just has too much money to be able to listen to others.

I like to make jokes about how people might say X fucked them, and their current partner leaving them for cheating.

The company redefined a word in the space of less than a decade. Huge marketing success when you pull that off. Elon just couldn't let go of his old idea from the PayPal days that the rest of the board back then told him was a bad idea.

Elon just really likes naming things X. Including his son.

[–] waz@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

It's a bit of a forced joke, but whenever possible, I like to use "X-crete" as the verb to replace "tweet".

I bet you think this xeet is about you

Don't you

Don't you

My people are calling it Xitter (sounds like shitter) so that would make each more like a little Xhit.

Coincidentally, that’s what I call people on that platform

You know, now I'm thinking Carly Simon is a psychic and the answer to who that song is about is Elon Musk.

Also, she totally sings "clowns in my coffee." I will fight anyone who challenges me on this.

Nah, I'll leave that to your morning clown brigade while I busy myself punching clouds. πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ
