Musk threatens to sue Microsoft. 

   I hope he does it, this'll just make him more and more weak.

Starship Euphoria, the collective joy on the faces of the Starship team {in spite of controlled abort and launch pad-envoirmental distruction}

gave me North Korea vibes. I'va a feeling many an NDA wil be breached in the near future.

I'm rescuing this thread, there are relevant news.

Humanity's greatest mind, genius Elon Musk, has had another brilliant idea to promote his social media platform, which he bought for 44 billion dollars. The great idea is to limit everyone the number of Tweets they can read per day, wow! It seems that the huge Google Cloud bill that he doesn't want to pay is behind this decision.

He has been making so many awful decisions, the inertia of an already popular platform has been keeping it alive. But he could lose it, alternatives are getting better, Zuckerberg is launching Threads, Dorsey's Bluesky is taking off. Mastodon, Tribel and Post Social suck, they don't have a chance. MAGA people have Truth Social, Elon couldn't even get Trump back, and he tried.

He's limiting data scrapping. Zuck will probably follow suit.

All he would need to do now to put Twitter out of business is to put two more Xs next to the first X.

How about a compromise on that new Twitter logo?

much better

So basically he didnt bought twitter for "twitter", he bought the mega user-base of twitter in order to slowly convert them for his new X concept/app long term (sacrificing "twitter" in the process lol)

Bold move

Wechat at its finest.

The logo looks so dumb. This popup shows up when you try to view twitter without an account, so you would want this page to look as professional as possible. The logo looks like it was designed and added by a first year intern. It's so blurry! The padding is also awful and the text below it is uncentered!

It might sound picky but it just looks so unprofessional. I feel like musk has lost a lot of his skilled developers.

   Elon Musk wants to create the new digital X-MEN.

[Hatfort]

He is the superior Illuminati, and we can not comprehend his mind.

That or he is stupid as fuck. He is so deep in his debt hole of bad decision-making since he purchased Twitter that he can't think straight. Brand names have value, Twitter's name was still quite valuable because it's known and used all over the world. X is not a good name, he tried that in PayPal too, and his business partners kicked him out for almost destroying the company's chances with his awful instincts. He got a good out deal, as PayPal succeeded so much and was sold to eBay for millions.

Also, he says he wants to control with X, let's say a number, half of the world's online banking. He is humble, just half. Let's all invest in the visionary again. That's how he has operated for the last 20 years. I think he is closer to a con man than to a businessman.

So he wants to eat all the currently working online banking competitors without a huge debt like him how? For example, by giving money to his selected blue-checked dickrider rightwing goons on Twitter. Sorry, X. Okay, Elon. This is fun as fuck. Continue, please.

What kind of fool wants to give Elon control of their entire internet experience, including banking?

Lol

[Socrates]

@Leo Gura The same kind of idiot that would call Trump a "successful businessman" competent enough to lead America.

People love appearances, the substance is irrelevant, if it looks big and shiny it has to be valuable!!!
