Do it. Not doing it is square bro.
Not charging is WOKE
Literally communism
Is ~~Twitter~~ X a public service?? It should be at least $25 a month. Just viewing a ~~twat~~ X should cost at least 50 cents.
He told Benjamin Netanyahu?... He just decided to tell the prime minister of Israel? Of all people?
Not like a press announcement, a notification to people using the site? Just to some politician he was talking to while on some rich wankers holiday?
Yup, because Musk has no ability to plan ahead. He thinks his every idea is perfect and that he should instantly implement whatever nonsense he just came up with.
Please god do it. Force the terminally online Xitter users to quit
“[We’re] moving to a small monthly payment for use of the X system,” he just told Benjamin Netanyahu, saying it’s [the] only way to stamp out ~~bots~~ actual human users .
FTFY
It'll remove more humans than bots if Classic WoW has taught me anything.
We're finally reaching the true death throes of Twitter! I'm so happy.
I sincerely hope his management team applies their best judgment and deliver exactly what their boss requested of them. It's the right thing to do according to their employment contracts.
So, he's kinda pulling a Unity.
I shit you not, the board member whose idea was Unity pay per install is Musk's friend, they were both executives at PayPal.
Lol. These motherfuckers at the top must be all acquinted.
"It's a big club and you ain't in it."
A big club of well regarded fellows failing upwards
And /u/spez is tight with that crowd too, so you can guess where the API monetization idea came from
FFS he actually calls it "the X system." Like it's not still just Twitter.
I’m gonna keep deadnaming his company for as long as he keeps deadnaming his daughter.
I want to charge Elon Musk for helping russian terrorists in their genocide of Ukrainian children.
Fucking do it. Do it tomorrow. Please.
Make it so, please make it so.
Please let it die. It will be nice to force media outlets to actually put effort into stories again, instead of just reporting on what is being tweeted by the usual gaggle of assholes.
There will be singing, and dancing, in Jerusalem when this happens! Can't wait for Twitter to disappear!
I'm glad he decided to finally kill it for good.
it's about damn time.
I had a momentary panic because it's the end of the month and I'm low on money... but then I remembered I deleted my Twitter account and life has just been absolutely peachy since then.
Is anyone else amazed that it's lasted almost a year?
No, inertia is a thing and Twitter was one of the biggest brands on the planet when Musk bought it. If anything, he speedruns its demise.
I love that he is gradually transforming into a testicle.
I think this is the best thing that could happen. The Internet can talk shit but Musk has been playing two-dimensional Chess all along.
Every time this asshole is in the news, I'm happier that I deleted my Twitter account.
Lol. It's like he's in a weird competition to lose 44B as fast as possible.
That may have worked at the beginning but if they do that now, X is officially dead.
Someone explain to me why I'm wrong please.
Somebody convince me he didn't buy this company (with Middle East govs backing him) just to kill it. I'll wait.
He didn't buy the company with the intent to kill it, he didn't even intend to buy the company at all. He made a joke offer to buy the company and took it to far, so they were able to sue him and force him to buy the company. If anything he hoped to get some trade secrets out of them before withdrawing the offer.
I'm sorry, but after all these articles on lemmy about this bozo, I'm realizing he has a seemingly slappable face
lol do it Muskrat, I dare you.
Mastodon + the Ice Cubes app for iOS is far better than Twitter ever was. Plus the platform comes with the added benefit of a userbase that's openly hostile toward fascist rhetoric.
This is so dumb. Obviously they need to move to a PPT model (Price Per Tweet).
Tell him what a good idea it was back when SMS text messages used to be 10 cents each.
It's a Xitter, Michael - what could it cost? Ten dollars?
Does anyone think it's a good idea for an idiot with effectively unlimited money (though he's working damn hard to change that) to be making pricing decisions?
Enough Musk Spam
