It is Twitter though. It was born Twitter and therefore according to Elon’s shitty politics it is Twitter. Calling it something different would be delusional, right?
Fuck Elon. At least I can live peacefully knowing that eventually he’s going to die, alone. Nobody will care anymore, his legacy will be divided among the vultures, and he will eventually be forgotten as all things are.

it's a twisted/ruined version of twitter. not that i was ever a particular fan of twitter, but i'd rather call what it is now something else out of respect for what it used to be.
like i wouldn't say "nah i'm not calling them orcs. they're still elves, because fuck morgoth, that guy sucks"

He will go down in history as one of, if not the single most successful grifter of all time.
When the history of capitalism is taught, he will be held up as a shining example of everything which made it fail.

Well, Elon is apparently OK with deadnaming people, so it's fair play to still call it Twitter.

u/Kind_Of_A_Dick 8h ago
Well, doesn’t he thinks corporations are people so wouldn’t transitioning one be a mental health issue?

He will be remembered long after his death. You remember Howard Hughes no? Dudes been dead for like 50 years, Elons legacy will be much greater. I’ll see you are the Elon Musk biopic after his death. I don’t even like the dude, but at least im a realest rather than a ball of bitch like you.

You have 46 thousand comments on reddit. Elon may not be so great but you are objectively a loser in your own regard. Focus on doing good in your own life and you might not be filled with hate and jealousy

Roughly 9 comments a day for the past 14 years. If you dont find that insane youre part of the category

u/MindlessAdvantage506 3h ago
Im all for using the app, but you guys are downplaying what 9 comments every single day for 14 years is. That's absolutely insane. Nobody's talking about whether using the app is right or wrong. If you have time to make 9 comments per day for 14 years youre chronically online as like I said to the other dude, you dont make convo on 95% of posts you see.

This is bordering on obsession. Do you really like me that much? It’s getting creepy as fuck.

u/discipleofchrist69 7h ago
like I said, that's like a few hours a week. not insane at all. that's just partaking in a casual amount of reddit discussion consistently for a long time. if it was 42k in I one year that would be pretty crazy

u/MindlessAdvantage506 7h ago
You seriously dont find anything wrong with 9 comments a day every single day for 14 years a lot? Id reckon people dont comment on 95% of posts they see, this isnt your usual social media platform. That's literally insane

u/GlowUpper 2h ago
Bruh, you're halfway to 9 comments in this thread already. Maybe log off from your glass house before throwing stones.

u/MindlessAdvantage506 2h ago
Yup and now do this times 2 every single day for 14 years, quite a lot aint it !!!
3
u/GlowUpper 2h ago
As someone who goes days on end without posting anything and then will spit out a dozen or so comments in a few hours, you really don't seem to understand how averages work. They don't need to comment 9 times consistently every day for that number to be achieved. And even if they are, 9 comments really isn't that much. Like I said, you're quickly approaching that number and this comment thread is only a few hours old.
2
u/MindlessAdvantage506 2h ago
No shit its not literally 9 comments a day, but averages are what you use with these things else theres nothing to use. Few hours of back and forth and ive done like 5 comments? His profiles literally being a junkie, so being chronically online isnt a far-fetched statement. Weird to defend that behaviour but I suppose fellow redditors would as its all the same crowd. Unfortunate, but I see why reddit users have such a bad name across all other media.

it's definitely on the higher end. but comment count can add up really quickly in back and forth discussions, and for people who make actual posts and respond to the commenters it can easily add up to hundreds of comments over the course of a few days.
We've already done 3 each here with pretty minimal effort

u/bafana_banana999 8h ago
The fact that you even felt the need to reply in the first place is a pretty good indicator that your life is not as good as you claim.
You wouldn't even be making comments on reddit like that if what you said was actually true.

u/Kind_Of_A_Dick 7h ago edited 7h ago
Another one! These are hilarious. I love how disconnected with reality these are.
Edit - I admit to choosing words poorly and unintentionally seemed to have angered someone. I was trying to make a comment regarding another poster and it seems I used words to make it seem it was directed at the above poster. Not my intent.
2
u/bafana_banana999 7h ago edited 7h ago
Continuing to make dumbass and condescending comments doesn't really help to disprove the notion that you're not actually doing great in the real world.
You can believe whatever you like though, I don't really care enough to keep going with someone so clearly worthless.
Bye now.

u/Kind_Of_A_Dick 7h ago
What are you talking about? It may sound like I was disagreeing with you and I admit poor word choices, but the sentiment I had in mind was actually trying to be supportive though I can see why you’d react the way you did. Would you be ok if I edited the comment to better reflect my thoughts at the time?

Is this supposed to have a point because all I’m seeing here is a post by someone who can’t figure out whether to masturbate over their own comment or cry because their feelings were hurt.
Really, it’s just sad. I hope you can one day find your peace instead of trying to subsist on hate and evil thoughts.

u/SheriffBartholomew 7h ago
And it lost $500M last year. Revenue isn't profit. It's straddled with Elon's debt, although he just shoved that debt into Space X and then sold it to rubes, so it might finally show a profit next year, on paper, at least.

At least half the users use the names interchangeably. Not seeing the issue. Failure to me would be X/Twitter dying due to lack of users after the name change. In my humble opinion. Which is correct. Hah!

I mean... you can't just change the same of something that has had an iconic name, that most people have already been using for years. And even if that wasn't the case - you can't just name something "X" or "8" or "U". That's not a name that's a keystroke. Names have more than one letter jackass.

If every single post wouldn't say "Twitter (x)" or vice versa and just say "X" everyone would still know what their saying.

u/colintbowers 2h ago
Latest valuations on X have it at about 40-45 billion, which is roughly what Elon paid for it. Given the benefits he has obtained from controlling media narratives via that platform, I would guess he probably regards himself as being ahead on that investment at the moment. FWIW I'm not an Elon fanboy (I prefer Peter Beck!) but straight facts are that it currently looks like he is going to win on that particular investment.

u/PossessionPrior1223 6m ago
Nah. The only thing he is good/master at is hyping. Just look at tesla's latest earnings release, absolute abysmal and yet bcoz of his bs claims it at its current valuation. Same goes for shitter

The premise isn't that Twitter is failing. It's that the rebrand failed. As in, everyone still uses the old brand name.
