Guy shoots down Elon's brainless submarine rescue idea

Musk: What a pedo guy!

Guy posts actual CP to Twitter (sorry, I'm not gonna call it X)

Musk: This is fine.

sorry, I’m not gonna call it X

I have mixed feelings about this one.

Should I call it X because all that was cool about Twitter is now dead so it would make sense to stop giving that terrible social network any credit from the former one?

Or should I continue to call it Twitter because I know it will infuriate Musk that no one recognise X as his own company?

Or should I use a totally different name that everybody will understand, like say The dead bird, and kill two birds with one stone?

Nah, Musk has been trying to co-opt the 24th letter of the alphabet for 30 years, he's a wannabe Steve Jobs and he wants his own one letter legacy.

The only thing the rebranding has done is make Twitter an X-platform (pun intended).

It's just pining for the fjords

"The birdsite" is a pretty common one.

[–] joneskind@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Indeed.

I had it in mind TBH

But “bird site” doesn’t sound as bad as “dead bird”

[–] Saneless@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Calling it Twitter is a reminder that the product/site used to be pretty interesting instead of a broken right wing child sex abuse platform

[–] drcobaltjedi@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

Do what Elon does with his kid. Dead name it to annoy Elon. Also shame on him for dead naming and misgendering his own child.

you wouldn't really be killing 2 birds with 1 stone. You'd be beating a dead bird with the stone, though

Don't forget Musk roleplays as a baby with multiple sub accounts.

Dude is a creeeeeeeeeep

[–] jarfil@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Roleplay?... "Sub"-accounts?... And here I thought he only was shitposting on main.

[–] Syrc@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait, multiple? I “only” knew about Elon Test, there’s more?

[–] iforgotmyinstance@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If he tried to hide one, he definitely has a bunch.

[–] Zeppo@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Pretty sure it’s “wow, that was S3XY! We’ll leave your account open so you can send me some more”.

Little known fact: You can be sorry without being Canadian.

As a Canadian, I just wanted to pop in and say I'm sorry

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Non-Canadians are just noticeably less likely to tell someone.

Don't you fucking dare besmirch Pearl Jam's debut album like that.

[–] joneskind@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Ooooooh...

Actually, it could turn out pretty well for the dead bird so I won't
