Elon Musk Buys Twitter

[Jastall]

I'm predicting that he takes a dozen cases and then stops this program because of how costly legal fees are. "No limit" is certainly going to be dropped.

Yeah, no limit on legal fees for who knows how many people who would avail themselves of it is the kind of statement that would make even an amoral attorney go "are you sure you want to do that?". Musk certainly can pay the bills out of his own pocket yet one doubts that's his objective here considering how stingy he's reportedly been with the company's finances.

Sounds like regular BS, but does it apply to ex-twitter employees that got booted for being critical of their new boss?
The randoms that got in trouble were probably aligned to a certain ideology or posting illegal shit.

Unfortunately he's gonna find out that most states have a free fire law and is allowed to fire for any reason or no reason unless its SPECIFICALLY shows they broke one of the protected classes

and being a racist piece of shit last I checked isn't a protected class.

I have an Xfinity app which is also just an X. I’ve never associated it as something X-rated nor has anyone who has seen the app on my phone.

But the name of the app is Xfinity, not simply "X." Xfinity also is either white on blue or blue on white, depending on the particular app. White on black is so much more porn-y.

Keep her news feeds to conservative.
New chatGPT features make sure her online "opinions" stick to your pre-apporved scripts.

Anyone need some cheap Twitter memorabilia, instruments, or office/home furniture? Or appliances?

Or really...anything?

Seems like the SF offices are getting liquidated. Either they're downscaling a lot or they're having everyone WFH despite Elom being massively against that idea. Though hey, maybe he just wants people to work in an empty office building with no furniture or anything. HARDCORE CODING HAPPENS SITTING ON THE CARPET

All of the actual twitter branded stuff makes sense. If Elon really wants to try to force "X" into happening...all that old bird stuff needs to go.

The rest of it though? I mean, I guess it's possible Ol' Musky just wants to completely upgrade the entire office to demonsttrate to his employees how much he appreciates all their hard work..

The cage fight is now a "noble" debate.

Damn, I guess dude never expected Zuck to actually take him up on the offer but is still trying to make it look like he's not using mommy as an excuse and backing out like a spineless bitch.

I think we can all agree Elon isn't serious and it's time to move on. I offered a real date. Dana White offered to make this a legit competition for charity. Elon won't confirm a date, then says he needs surgery, and now asks to do a practice round in my backyard instead. If Elon ever gets serious about a real date and official event, he knows how to reach me. Otherwise, time to move on. I'm going to focus on competing with people who take the sport seriously.

rofl getting called out as a weakass wussy bitch so hard by a guy who is still waiting for his humor subroutines to finish getting installed.

it's hilarious because he could always go back to the challenge of a literal dick measuring competition, lol.

Watching Elom continue to burn Twitter to the ground (they're having another big auction of their shit soon, I'm not sure if they'll even have any tables to work at after this one!) and completely destroy his reputation with anyone that isn't a right wing chud is hilarious.

Zuck really wants to beat the shit out of Musk I think.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/techn...links-delayed/

The company formerly known as Twitter on Tuesday slowed the speed with which users could access links to the New York Times, Facebook and other news organizations and online competitors, a move that appeared targeted at companies that have drawn the ire of owner Elon Musk.

Users who clicked a link on Musk’s website, now called X, for one of the targeted websites were made to wait about five seconds before seeing the page, according to tests conducted Tuesday by The Washington Post.

The delayed websites included X’s online rivals Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky and Substack, as well as the Reuters wire service and the Times. All of them have previously been singled out by Musk for ridicule or attack.

On Tuesday afternoon, hours after this story was first published, X began reversing the throttling on some of the sites, dropping the delay times back to zero. It was unknown if all the throttled websites had normal service restored.

The delay affected the t.co domain, a link-shortening service that X uses to process every link posted to the website. Traffic is routed through the domain, allowing X to track — and, in this case, throttle — activity to the target website, potentially taking away traffic and ad revenue from businesses Musk personally dislikes.

The Post’s analysis found that links to most other sites were unaffected — including those to The Washington Post, Fox News and social media services such as Mastodon and YouTube — with the shortened links being routed to their final destination in a second or less. A user first flagged the delays early Tuesday on the technology discussion forum Hacker News.

Musk, a self-described “free speech absolutist,” did not respond to requests for comment. X also did not respond. Some of the targeted businesses said they were reviewing the matter when contacted Tuesday by The Post.

More on how Musk is a liar and a generally pretty awful human being. No, the delay isn't that major. But his continued lies about his commitment to Freeze Peach followed by his petty, vindictive actions like this speak volumes about why, for example, at least one of his own children has disowned him and why his father is fucking his stepsister. Or was. And calls his baby boi Elom a disappointment.

I suppose they should be called the X Files now.

Given that both are based around a fictional conspiracy, it tracks.

It's funny that with all the rebranding and what not, the URL is still twitter.com. Just a little thing that tickles me pink.

Christ, I can't think of two people I'd want to watch debate less than Zuck the Cuck and Ol' Musky

It's funny because x.com actually exists but redirects to twitter.com.

x.com should have been snapped up bx X-Com.

Elom's commitment to Freeze Peach is so unshakeable and strongly held that he got triggered by criticism from a user and had the user banned despite not breaking any Twitter rules.

Just a reminder that Elom is a piece of shit, dishonest person whose own father views him as a disappointment (while fucking his step sister) and whose own daughter disowned him.

Have we yet to decide what the new word is for "tweet" and "tweeting"? I'd imagine we can't really call it that anymore.

I feel Xcrement has a nice ring to it. Memorable, and people know what they are in for.

Didn't Musk say it was a Xeet or Xweet?

I can see Musk proudly announcing Xcrete before realizing what he had done.
