𝕏 / Twitter / X, the Social Media Platform Formerly Known as Twitter / "MUSK OWNS TWITTER"

[Coccxys]

The amount of crying/gotchas about Musk buying Twitter, shitposting everywhere, and apparently losing money is about the financial equivalent of the rest of us buying a 2015 BMW to fuck around doing unofficial off-road rallies. Yeah, the value of it would be wrecked, money would be lost and local enthusiasts of said car model/local environment would be crying about it but the point is it would be fun.

Just bought masterbated.one

poa.st

As for Krugman, Lorenz, and Kathy Griffin joining the Fediverse: they will soon be crawling back to Twitter and kissing Elon's feet, begging him to keep them safe from the anime avatars.

We need a list of all the scalps collected at this point. Just saw this, I think it is relatively recent.

IMO this was pretty nicely done. Harsh but not and tripped up people expecting him to be humorless.

She owes him a favor too and I don't think she's dumb enough to not know what he's done for her visibility.

Fucking oof. Damn Elon, you are starting to make me like you.

I think Daniel Radcliffe refuses to have social media. So it was probably a fake account.

Daniel Radcliffe isn't on Twitter or any other social media. Here's why, whether he'll change his mind, and where fans can keep up with him.

Elon just endorsed the Republicans in tomorrow's election:

Twitter went from a communist hugbox to officially endorsing Republicans for congress. This keeps getting funnier.

Fuck. I got snookered. By Weird Al, no less. KF isn't letting me attach images or files at present, but he asked why the account was suspended.

 

[Oxyjen]

After all, what does Weird Al know about parody.

Before image: “comedy is now legal”
After image: “those who attempt to troll or mock me will be permanently banned”

Before image: “Twitter should be politically neutral”
After image: “Vote Republican!”

I could go on.

Are you moving to Masterbatedone?

Al:

Oh no, they suspended @danielradcliffe's Twitter account! Wasn't it obvious he was doing a PARODY???

It's a pretty decent gag given the suspensions going on plus Daniel playing the parody of Al in the biopic.

Ask Proctor & Gamble how ineffective they are after Gillette posted big losses in consequence of its troonery

Plenty of other examples

I'm glad they did what they did because it convinced me to switch to cheaper yet equally reliable razors.

To be fair, there's a big difference between the owner endorsing and advocating for a political party/candidate/ideology and his site moderating and curating content so that one is being promoted or shadow banned/blacklisted.

Please do go on seething

Someone needs to make a poll if Elon is being based or cringe with other fun options.

Spoiler

It's based

 

[Random Internet Person]

Any words on the results of the layoffs and email roulette?

 

[ForTheHoard]

Attachments aren't working for me right now, but there's a handful of tweets calling for Biden to strip Elon of his government contracts and security clearances for interfering with US elections.

 

[AnOminous]

Also fun fact about Paul Krugman: He once wrote an article about how building the literal Death Star would be great for the economy.

Was he wrong?

lol ... "why yes, I'll immediately sever ties with one of the two companies on this planet capable of heavy-lift orbital insertions and manned launches to the ISS and isn't affiliated with Russia or China just to save your precious twitter! That sounds like a brilliant idea!"

Fucking idiots.

Nice to see them admit they see twitter as a means of interfering with elections, though.

 

[Catgirl Tyranid]

Was he wrong?

Yes, a Death Star is a stupid fucking weapon that would never be used.

"Oh but we it'll efficiently destroy rebel scum in one shot!" BULL FUCKING SHIT. It moves at a snail's pace so you'll only ever surprise the first planet and any future planet will now have every reason to throw its all into a rebellion to prevent their complete destruction.

"Oh, but we'll terrify the populace into compliance!" You mean like a handful of heavy cruisers with orbital bombardment capabilities can already do without risk of losing access to all that arable land?

Not to mention the loss of real estate value! What a waste of money. Throwing resources to make something useless will never be as beneficial as making a bunch of things that are actually useful. This is why NASA is a mistake.
