'Sesame Street' Just Perfectly Trolled Elon Musk After He Announced Twitter's 'X' Rebranding

When Sesame Street is dunking on you it's time to call it quits.

[Shadowferal]

O...that poor X..

So much Freeze Peach that he's willing to literally steal from others! They stole the account from the dude who had the @X handle for the past 16 years and offered him some merch.

Which is on-brand for a dude who runs a car company and offered the creators of the critically acclaimed, award winning narrative title "Her Story" the opportunity to have their game installed in Tesla vehicles. And in return they would be paid in exposure.

So the tally so far is
Tossed years of name recognition for "X"
Tossed public good will... well more of it, by publicly stealing a long time user's name.

Only thing left is for some old public statements about how Musk is against seizing of property for that delicious hypocrisy angle.

Old tweet from May of 2022, but topical.

Whoever thought owning the libs would be cheap never tried to acquire a social media company!

Spending $44,000,000,000 to make yourself admin and steal someone's handle is a prime contender for the dumbest POS move in the history of the Internet.

"X also warned advertisers that beginning Aug. 7, brands’ accounts will lose their verification—a gold check mark that indicates their account truly represents their brand—if they haven’t spent at least $1,000 on ads in the previous 30 days"

R O F L

honestly I'm not sure if it's possible to do a better job of burning the company to the ground. $1,000 a month for a yellow checkmark? Not enough, you cheap plebs!

[Sorshen]

X-tortion.

FUCKIN RIGHT?

I'm honestly surprised that they haven't gone all MySpace (maybe I'm misremembering) and just had this song playing in the background for all Twitter users.

Then again, Elom probably did reach out to DMX to ask about this and offered to pay him in exposure. What a busta.

That would be impressive if he did.

Threads officially failed as a product. A shame it had potential and good momentum

DMX passed away back in 2021.

Fuckin hell, I forgot that. Now my day is ruined.

If it makes you feel any better, someone on Twitter made the exact same comment and was told the exact same thing.

[Sorshen]

Elon's reaction to child porn/exploitation is bizarre.

What do you expect? Elon Musk was good friends with Jeffrey Epstein.

With the added bonus of being next to a post of someone saying Geitfield was right about Jewish people getting skills from the Holocaust. Then likely saying more and worse things.
WHAT A BARGAIN!!
