Only a quarter? Who are they trying to advertise to at this point? Neo-Nazis?

[–] normalexit@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Neo Nazis need gold coins too!

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 0 points 2 months ago

"We buy gold" ... "with bitcoin"

is that a thing yet? let me just open a Xitter account real quick ...

The vast amount of liberals who still refuse to drop the platform because muh followers and muh reach.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

$2B of advertising, even.

The other three quarters are just scared that Elom will sue them if they cut advertising.

(Not really. I suspect many of the other 75% just aren't willing to admit they're planning to loosen ties with Twitter (I will not call it "X") just yet.)

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

the rest will just call it unplanned

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

We forgot to renew our contract

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Just call it X-Twitter. It ain't twitter any more, and "X" is just dumb as fuck.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 0 points 2 months ago

Xitter. Pronounced Shitter

[–] Tja@programming.dev 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What you’re refering to as Twitter, is in fact, X/Twitter, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, X plus Twitter...

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 0 points 2 months ago

I use newsgroups btw

Musk knows he can’t hurt the big companies in court, that’s why he’s mostly suing small non-profit watch dogs.

[–] ohwhatfollyisman@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

well, if you sever a quarter of X, particularly the south-east one, you're left with y.

looks like another rebranding exercise is in the mix?

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 months ago

elons gonna rebrand it y next because y do people even bother with it

[–] bkuri@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago

Not nearly enough

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

So they noticed that it is time to get out of the bog before they start to stink?

[–] bender223@lemmy.today 0 points 2 months ago

Oh noes! eLon gonna sue them! 😮
