This is an X parrot!

He's probably pinin' for the fXords.

[-] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

It has joined the choir invisible.

[-] codapine@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

Underrated pun. Punderrated, if you will.

[-] smoregooseboard@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Twitter was just a fucking braindead forum anyway. He had some spare money and did the right thing :)

[-] A7thStone@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

You are a shitty troll.

[-] Granite@kbin.social 39 points 11 months ago

It’s pining for the fjords.

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 33 points 11 months ago

It is an ex-app. It has ceased to be.

[-] baatliwala@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago

Don't you mean X-app? :P

[-] Roundcat@kbin.social 5 points 11 months ago

This man is out of his mind. Why buy Twitter for 44 bn USD and then trash the brand? A smart man would have done it the other way around and then bought it for far less. But what do I know right, I don't play Musks 4D chess

The point wasn't to take a successful brand over to make money, it was to have direct control over the narrative being pushed across social media.

[-] FightMilk@discuss.online 6 points 11 months ago

Yup.

Imagine your facebook-addicted uncle complaining about the woke platform that he uses all day every day. Then imagine he has the money to buy facebook, as well as the hubris to think he could do a better job running it. That’s basically what happened here.

If all the users go elsewhere he can't do that

Before he was forced to buy Twitter, he was making money off pump and dump schemes. Look at his history with crypto. This time, he bit off more then he could and was forced to follow through with his threat to buy twitter.
