Why doesn't it surprise me that Elon didn't give a shit about his neighbors?

Why is everything Elon does, or by extension Twitter, newsworthy? I'm so sick of hearing about this fucker every day.
Because Twitter is something many people use and is part of our lives. The terms tweet and retweet is in our lexicon and a lot of breaking news appear on twitter. It's clearly important to us and as evidenced by Mastodon, Blue Sky, and Threads, we humans want a form of twitter. I agree and it has some utilitarian use. There's something "internety" about short blips of info with quick vids if necessary that anyone can access.
It may not seem important, but with Google trying to push DRM browsing, their search algo shitting itself, reddit crapping itself, Youtube being Youtube, etc. the old internet as we knew it is dying. The old internet being the free one we knew that wasn't centralized, full of forums, and felt a different kind of alive. I think that's why the news for Twitter is important.
Now, do we need to know about the people complaining about the X sign? Maybe not, i kind of don't think so, but it is nice to have a record of it for future reference. It most likely didn't need to reach my all/local page but people upvoted it.
He wants attention cuz daddy no longer gives him it
That's because his daddy is giving it to his step-daughter.
As I clicked to load comments, I thought to myself that there hasn't been a single article that presented anything he's done with Twitshit as positive. I wondered if that's bias or whether he's fucked up on every change. But you're right. I'm ready to stop hearing about it. It sucks when children are billionaires.
I’m all for calling it X.
Twitter is dead. Calling it X will drive that home.
Also, Twitter has amazing brand equity. Much of Twitter’s value was the brand. If this idiot is dumb enough to throw that away, I’ll gladly help him burn money.
I’d say it’s better if we just stop caring. If he wants to lose Twitter’s brand equity so bad, why don’t we let him?
Calling it X literally ruins billions of dollars in branding. Don't stop your enemy while they're making a mistake
How about calling it ex-Twitter?
All Elon has to do is... nothing. He doesn't have to come up with 'hilarious' tweets, he doesn't have to make an everything app, he doesn't need to run any of his companies. He could retire right now and just do whatever he felt like in his private life.
But he's such a needy little attention whore that he won't do that.
If he does not want to be in charge of a non-profitable company, why bring the responsibility upon himself? Oh yes, because Tesla is involved in scandals and any investment is better than that.
That's very annoying sign. Why it has to pulsate? That company should be fined.
It what?
glowing, pulsing and strobing
Holy shit. It cycles through a bunch of animation presets like a giant fucking set of high beam Christmas lights or a modded out Nissan Z.
In not even going to link a video, because it comes dangerously close to the photosensitive seizure threshold in some parts. Also because the video was in a tweet.
was in a tweet
I doubt that's what they're officially called anymore. No idea what Musk thinks they should be called now. X-cretions?
Xeets. About as thoughtful as the logo.
I saw somewhere they are trialing renaming Tweets to Posts
Why it has to pulsate?
Another day, another publicity stunt.
I think stunts worked out well for Musk's image initially because he was seen as "Iron Man IRL" and his... widely imaginative ideas were seen as genius and innovative.
However, as his current image has now become "middle schooler in a grown man's body with way too much money", all of his stunts only reinforces that image into his descent into the butt of the joke. He of course, doesn't seem to understand that and only looks to double down.
It's good that we're all sick of hearing about him at this point, because that's the reputation a person like him deserves.
It feels more and more like a cry of help "Look at me! Please look at me!"
So boring urgh
I love how even the news isn’t calling Twitter “X,” even when it’s talking about the stupid giant pulsating X Elon put up as a giant DivorcedMan signal.
This, like the rest of it, is on purpose. He wants to create a "they are hostile to me in SF despite my desire to stay in the city, so I will now relocate Twitter to Texas". Ultimately, he wants to destroy Twitter as it was previously a place used to organize movements (Arab spring, Saudis are #2 investor in Twitter behind musk) and amplify information about the embarrassing failures and crimes of fascists like him. Destroy the validity (and even basic functionality) of the site, and less people hear those messages.
Chronically-divorced megalomaniac coward who's daddy didn't/doesn't love him.
What an insecure aged boy Musk is
He's showing us how much smarter he is than the rest of us and why he deserves the billions he has.
I wish this place had a sarcasm font so it doesn't seem like someone is actually dense but instead is being quite funny. So hard to tell these days
That's in the US, isn't it? And that's nothing a bullet or two can't fix...
Destroying property is a no no in the states. Ironically if children were slaves (therefore property) we might actually get somewhere in having better laws protecting them from getting shot
Wasn't that one of the arguments against women's rights?
Wasn’t that logo supposed to be temporary? Sure doesn’t seem temporary if they’re installing a sign on the offices.
It is hard to come up with a better metaphor for a pathological need for attention than a 20 foot tall icon, shining brighter than the sun, and strobing into elderly people's apartments.
ah our dayli reminder that Musk is a cunt that does not care about other people...
X gon' give it to you...?
what
Fuck waitin fo you to get it on ya own
X gon deliver it to ya yeah
Wannabe dictator acts like a giant crybaby and tries to get attention, to the surprise of absolutely no one.
