I’m gonna call it Twitter even harder now.
i’m going to stop calling it twitter when twitter.com redirects to x.com, and not the other way around
at that point i would stop talking about it, because X is just too stupid
His obsession with the letter X is like that middle school kid who used to talk about how many girlfriends he got and how good he is at being a bad ass…
Basically, he’s a less likeable version of Zane from Hypnospace Outlaw.
He’s a wannabe Steve Jobs who has chased his own one letter legacy for 30 years, pathetic.
“X” already happened. Musk even stole the logo.
By stole the logo you mean it’s the same letter?
I guess he’s claiming the font having that little white separation between parts of the letter is some unique identifier, but so many fonts and logos do this that I don’t think it passes a distinctiveness test at all.
I wrote that meme out in a comment like a month ago because I was too lazy to put the text on the image, so thanks.
Tight reference.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. If you want him to fail, help him destroy Twitter’s brand.
Call it X.
I has worse brand recognition, terrible brand loyalty, and if only highlights that the product has changed for the worse.
my little bit is to say “what’s twitter?” (sigh, alright then… X) “…what’s X?”
TWITTER
-
I’m sorry, but due to cultural norms the name Twitter is rooted deep within our modern language.
-
[PERSUASION] Maybe a free little blue check will do the trick
-
Or what?
-
[INTIMIDATION] drop your daughter’s dead name and I’ll drop your site’s.
- [THE DARK URGE] Imagine feeding Elon to a large flightless bird.
Narrator: You imagine throwing a burlap sack over his head. His underlings would be extremely displeased with you, but he wouldn’t put up much of a fight himself.
Narrator: You can think of someone who would be extremely pleased with your offering, however.
Elon: You’re looking at me funny. Is there something you need?
-
[THE DARK URGE] Give in to your desires.
-
[PERSUASION] I have an investment opportunity that I think you would be interested in.
-
Can I see your wares?
-
No, nothing. I was just lost in thought.
You know you’ve played the game too much when you can hear how the Narrator would read those lines.
And you know you’ve also watched too much Thunderf00t when you can hear how Elon would read his line too…

I started a DU playthrough and laughed almost as hard as I alt-F4ed the first time I picked one of those fantasize options and saw what happened. 10/10 addition to the dialogue tree
What game has “THE DARK URGE” dialogue options? I was imagining Fallout before, but this makes me think it must be some newer one.
Baldur’s Gate 3. Go play it. Now. Sleep is for the weak.
What perk gives ypu it?
When you create a character, you have the option to play an Origin Character, who are the other companions in the game like Shadowheart, a custom character with your own backstory, or a Dark Urges character, who is also custom, but has the additional backdrop of having dark impulses, like wanting to murder random characters.
Ok guess I just overlooked it.
I think it’s the bottom right option.
I very quickly learned not to trust the Dark Urge to stop at imagining the act.
*roll a nat 20
“Get fucked, shitbird. I didn’t buy your bullshit even when people thought you were techno Jesus.”
So, you’ve been playing way too much BG3 too?
Define “way too much” please
5. [ELON FANATIC] I agree, my liege. Do you need help convincing others?
I’d delete my save if I hit this option, just to be sure.

I’m so tired of these woke CEOs and their snowflake whining over misgendering their companies. There’s the name that a company is assigned at birth, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to change the way I’ve always called them (for my whole life and ALL of god-fearing Christian history) because some liberal snowflake CEO one-day wakes up and simply declares, “twitter is now X” ffs.
The facts of the
birthincorporation certificate, DON’T CARE ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS little pissant mUsK… GET OVER IT!/s since satire is dead.
Ugh, it hurts that there are losers out there who say this shit unironically.

[I am a human, if I’ve made a mistake please let me know. Please consider providing alt-text for ease of use. Thank you. 💜]
Good human.
Thank you, fellow human! 🤖
lol so funny this guy thinks we’re just gonna stop calling it Twitter
Can I call it “Twatter” instead? It seems way more fitting.
Xitter with the ‘x’ pronounced as ‘sh’.
Xitler same pronunciation of x
No. I’m exercising my Musk-given right of ultimate free speech and will continue calling it Twitter, just because I feel like it. Musk would be proud of me standing up against censorship. Oh wait…
… And all of this could have been avoided if he just renamed it “Twitter by X”, so make Twitter part of the X super-app that he wanted to build.
Sure Elon, I can provide this service to you for just $8/month. It’s great value honestly, I have expenses to continue to run my life and just $8 will happily contribute towards that.
I’m bad at math, but Elon Musk is worth $229 billion dollars, which I think is enough to give every person on Earth $8 a month for a while.
If you call 3 months “a while”
I would, yes. You wouldn’t?
No, I wouldn’t call 3 instances of payment (for a total of $24), “a while”.
Okay, well maybe three months isn’t a while to you, but I think most people would consider a quarter of a year to be a while.
It would be one of the greatest redistributions of wealth ever, sadly.
… hold on this mf has TEN kids
which… one? we’re not talking about Grime’s baby are we?
Nope, Vivian Jenna Wilson, Musk’s adult daughter who changed her name and disowned him because of how he treated her as a trans person. Imagine how awful that must be to disassociate yourself from the richest man in the world.
Reminder that his response to this was “Can’t win 'em all”. Father of the year, no wonder he thinks his sperm is a gift from god.
Can we please stop calling unrealized gains holders the “richest in the world”? It’s patently untrue.
You’re basically forced to measure that as wealth. Otherwise we’re just pretending someone is poor just because they’re cash poor, yet I would argue that poor people have no real way to get 40 billion dollars to immediately lose money on a social media company.
I could call it that but then nobody would know what the fuck I’m talking about. Maybe at least pick a name that’s unique?
Yep. One of many reasons I’m not catering to the whims of a billionaire and calling it what he wants it to be called. It’s going to continue to be Twitter as far as I’m concerned.
Damn, I’ve been doing it wrong! I thought X was pronounced TEN.
#twitter sucks.
“I saw this tweet on ten today”
tweetX’cretion
Was thinking instead of calling them tweets we should start calling them kisses
Don’t you try and fix Musk’s broken toys! That child needs to learn not to break them in the first place. (though not a bad salvage for x)
I have never twatted on twitter, so I wont kiss on ten either.
Is this a stock picture of Elon crying?
Hard to capture in real time since psychopaths don’t have feelings, only approximations of human behavior.
Psychopathy is a disability, Elon doesn’t have it, and that’s a negative stereotype.
“i’m so sick of this annoying guy” say people who won’t stop thinking or talking about this annoying guy.
“I’m so sick of these people who won’t stop thinking or talking about annoying guy” say people who are talking about this annoying guy.
“I’m so sick of these people who won’t stop thinking or talking about people who won’t stop thinking or talking about annoying guy” say people who are talking about people who won’t stop thinking or talking about annoying guy.
Be the change you want to see.
Nah bro you’re supposed to say
“I’m so sick of these people who won’t stop thinking or talking about people people who won’t stop thinking or talking about people who won’t stop thinking or talking about annoying guy” say people who won’t stop thinking or talking about people people who are talking about people who won’t stop thinking or talking about annoying guy.
I think he’s a fucking idiot asshole bigot, but it’s still fun to watch him make the dumbest decisions ever for attention.
