    “Genius businessman” mmhm. Total grift. Idiot. In any other world he’d be living in a trailer park with trump flags all over his truck, working at Walmart yelling at brown people.

      Edit: See comments below

      You know, I 100% agree with your assessment of Musk. It’s just that you’re saying this about something that Musk has nothing to do with except actively opposing it. The subheader:

      Judge hasn’t ruled on X Corp’s preliminary injunction, but Operation Bluebird plows ahead

      It’s such trivial, basic etiquette to read beyond the headline before commenting on the article you’re supposed to be discussing. I’m really sick of wading through comments by lazy assholes who’ve spent more time vomiting out their gut reaction to the headline than just sitting down and reading for 30 seconds.

      Reddit was bad about this, but Lemmy is somehow fucking next-level.

      • The headline itself is already clear this isn’t Musk’s. Why would the new Twitter be saying Musk gave up the name if it were run by Musk?
      • Even if it wasn’t (it is), the subheader is abundantly clear.
      • Ars is a solid, well-written source with a good reputation for not wasting waste your time with churnalism or clickbait.

      Just running through some common excuses people who refuse to read use to shift their profound, utter laziness onto anyone but themselves.

        I read it, I know its not him. I was referring to how stupid he was for changing the name of an insanely popular household term. Absolute idiocy becuase of his ego loving the letter x.

        Its like Kleenex changing their name to bleepoopy and demanding everyone now say get me a bleepoopy I have a runny nose. Utter idiocy.

    I hope this takes off and people start using “tweet” and “twitter” again and it makes “x” completely irrelevant like his Hitler salute should have

      Well, they need something to pay the lawyers with once Musk takes notice.

      Edit: I’ve just discovered this interesting concept called “reading the article” and found out that they’ve already been sued, though it’s still not entirely settled.

    So, I’m just checking…

    1. It is not open source?
    2. It uses AI to “Fact-Check”?
    3. It costs 20$ to join, and possibly more later?

    Well, they have chosen interesting path those people behind this thing.

    Ohhh Noos! The branding I choose which no one wanted or ever adopted is tarnished by my own actions from the last two years… Let’s rebrand and hopefully the user base will no longer associate my actions with this service anymore!
