This just sounds like a desperate attempt to try and turn a profit before Twitter/X finally shits the bed cuz it ran out of money

I don’t think elon can afford to do that because it would look really bad for his other brands. I think he is better off trying to keep it somewhat alive

The only thing that’s being “verified” is the credit card number.

What the fuck is this X thing? Sounds like a shitty version of Twitter, like the one that Trump is always ranting on.

But Twitter is one of the best known brands on the internet. It would be mind-bogglingly stupid to just throw that away.

He announced the rebranding in a tweet sent last Saturday in the middle of the night. You know, like any competent business person would.

Why would anyone want to associate inane internet chatter with birdsong when they could simply associate it with porn? Elon has a very large…brain, and he wants to make sure you think of it as often as he does.

Rumor has it that our thoughts fill an aching void in his soul that can otherwise only be filled with apartheid emeralds or NFTs, but science has yet to find a way to test this hypothesis.
