First off, I love that every article about X has to mention that it was formally Twitter. That shit will never stop being funny to me.

Second, why the hell do you need Twitter on a TV? So people can sit on their phones while they watch Twitter?

As I understand it, it’s not Twitter, but on TV. It’s a new service that is supposed to rival YouTube. As much as I would like to see that happen, fuck Elon. I hope it fails and costs him billions.

I hope it succeeds just enough to take the right wing nutters off YouTube and give YouTube an incentive to improve its service. But that it stays unsuccessful enough that it keeps burning a hole in Elon’s pocket

As much as that sounds like fun, the right with their own platform end up in an right wing, conservative, , fake news sound board where people will be subject to propaganda and nothing but propaganda, completely radicalizing anyone on there, instead of confronting them with an alternative sides of the stories. Isolating the nut jobs makes them even more dangerous. Which is exactly what Elon tries to do.

I grabbed it because that’s what I do and have always done.

It’s Twitter on tv.

I hope someone suggests to him that, now that Tesla has moved to Texas, they should rename the company “TeXla” so that it will match his other companies with an X in the name. Then all of the articles can start referring to ‘TeXla, formerly Tesla’.

I love that people keep saying formally instead of formerly and it makes it seem like twitter is the proper nomenclature and X is just slang.
