I love how everyone still calls them Facebook. It’s the simple things.
This highlights how deep the BS surrounding Musk has burrowed into the media scape. They invariably refer to his companies as “Elon Musks Tesla” or “Elon Musks Twitter” and so on. Where other billionaire’s (for the most part) avoid the limelight and their companies stand seperate to their idiotic personal choices.
I say “Elon Musk’s Twitter” like would I say “Joel Schumacher’s Batman” — to identify it as the worst version of the thing.
Here’s his prequels
Elon Musks failed Solar City
Elon Musks failed Boring Company
Elon Musks failed Hyperloop
I like how you still call it a tweet. I hope tweet, tweeting and twitter remain the lexicon for X forever.
Twitter and tweeting where such well established and creative words, which set Twitter apart. I loved the analogy to birds. And Elon just throws all of that away…
the local telephone service here has seen several owners and even more name changes in the last couple decades. i still call it by the company name it had in the 90s.
Just like X will never replace Twitter. That was a weird rebranding tbh. Meta at least makes some sense.
That’s because Zuckerberg is actually a smart guy. He may be a prick and an asshole and possibly not human, but you really can’t deny he is smart.
Musk is an immature idiot with money.
