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

-Elon, probably.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago (3 children)

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.

[–] Lightor@lemmy.world 29 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

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.

Is there a place to verify these posts are real without actually touching Twitter (currently known as Elon Musk's X)? I see there's blue checkmarks on them but I have a feeling a really cleaver hacker could fake those in an image.

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 72 points 10 months ago

Here’s my Nitter search with some filters:

The iPhone let me copy that text out of the image (fastest way was to screenshot and then hold my finger on the text in the screenshot preview). I then tapped “look up” and DuckDuckGo found articles about the exchange. But for less popular Tweets, Nitter should work.

I don't know of any service that verifies tweets, but this one is real: https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-aoc-stop-hitting-on-me-tweet-mark-zuckerberg-2022-4

You don't need to be a hacker to edit an image...

[–] chumbalumber@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 10 months ago

Or just use inspect element on a Twitter post and change it.

Seconding nitter. You can take any twitter link and just replace the front with nitter.net

It's honestly really gross that he immediately jumps to thinking she's hitting on him. Like, him freaking out and going into a fit of rage might have been a less terrible response.

[–] BillyTheSkidMark@lemm.ee 131 points 10 months ago (6 children)

I assume he doesn't really think that, but thinks he's being a cute troll. Like picking 420.69 for everything.

Trying to deflect assumed criticism about him by being "funny".

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 43 points 10 months ago

Musk sent the funniest response he could possibly think of.

Remember middle school?

NO I WON’T MAKE OUT WITH YOU!

Or was that elementary?

Does Zuck hang out with Tucker & Thiel also? It wouldn’t surprise me, but I hadn’t heard about it…not to the extent that Elon does, anyway.

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 27 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I assume anyone in silicon valley with two commas has hung out with Thiel at some point. He was one of the earliest investors in FB

[–] TomMasz@lemmy.world 34 points 10 months ago (18 children)

Any armchair psychologists care to weigh in on Elmo?

[–] Restaldt@lemmy.world 47 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Money rots brains

[–] Fedop@slrpnk.net 19 points 10 months ago

Honestly, I think it's that simple.

Stop attributing the name of one of the most beloved, friendly and wonderful muppets to ever exist, and who provided countless people decades of joy to that fucking shit stain Elongated Muskrat.

But why are they still supporting platforms run by billionaires? It's so easy to talk, theorize and posture as this revolutionary figure. But when it comes down to giving up one single convenience, people freak out. I don't know if I can take these people seriously.

[–] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 58 points 10 months ago (5 children)

She was one of the first high profile people on blue sky so it's not for not trying. Even this criticism though reads a bit like "You dislike capitalism and yet you participate in it." You can criticise what you partake in, why not?
