Technology

I can't get over the fact that this is the guy who was supposed to be some kind of tech genius.

Just fucking do it.

Maybe then other media will finally stop reporting shit like
"Person Z said Y on X (formerly Twitter)."

This is a great idea. Do it!

Please kill it harder

Yes please. Do it.

Who in their right mind would pay for a dying social media platform? This reeks of desperation from a man trying to convince himself of his own supposed public image.

I think it’s a great move Elon, charge $100 a month base price to keep the riff raft out, and then offer packages going up to $10,000 a month that allow people to post. I really, truly, seriously think you should do this!

He said creating such a system is “the only way I can think of to combat vast armies of bots

Lol the fucking “bots” again.

Great idea. I definitely support this decision.

Do it.

You won’t.

No balls.

Please DO

Yes, do it then everyone will move to mastodon and we can finally forget about twitter (x) existence

Dew it!

Oh thank God, then we can all finally move on and stop talking about it.

I don't hate what Twitter used to be. I never engaged with it much myself, but it was a fantastic tool for progressive organizations to network and mobilize, and the loss of that will genuinely hurt us all.

But at this point, that tool is already on life support. Better for it to die outright so that people find a new way to do those things x rather than this endless half life it's now trapped in.

Literally every single day we have idiots doing Musk’s PR work for free.

Downvote Musk spam. The billionaire doesn’t need your help ensuring his businesses stay in the 24 hour news cycle.

He could've spent money building his own Twitter and leave us be but instead he had to go and waste 44+billion to cause harm and damage and destroy a company with employees making a living. It goes without saying he is just such a shit, vile and evil person.

God I hope his checkmark followers gaslight him into doing this

Why do the most pathetic of people make the news so often?

Stop feeding this guy.

Do it DOOOOO IT DOOO IIIIT DO IT DO IT ~read in Lucy's voice

I pray this bumbling moron actually does it.

Edit: spelling. Apparently I’m a bumbling moron too.

I will pay you money to do it, Elon.

just putting it behind a login screen was catastrophic by itself... just saying

Twitter is dead in 2024 if not by the end of the year.

Do it..The ring commands you to do so.

Good, then all the actually normal people will leave and Elon will have his echo chamber

Do it, you cuck.

This supports the model that he's intentionally driving the platform into the ground.

Although I would not at all be surprised if he really is that stupid.

I honestly can't figure out what he is thinking: is he trying to kill of twitter because he doesn't care about it, or does he honestly belief that this will make good money? I feel like i'm watching a bouncing ball in a small room, you never know which way he goes next

Certainly gives him a good way to limit social media as we approach the new election cycle.

At a press conference today, Musk was quoted as saying:

Look at me. Look at me. Please, God, I need people to be paying attention to me and validating me all the time. Ever since I fucked it up with my hot goth gf I've been an absolute mess of transparent attempts to remain relevant. I tried to gain your approval by doing what I guessed would be cool guy shit like going on stage with Dave Chappelle and yelling at you small people about how rich I am. I did the meme thing with the fake money and the fun monkey pictures. I spent billions evading your blocks on Twitter. I give up. You don't have to love me. No one will ever love me. But I need you to always be looking at me.

Musk then produced an acoustic guitar and began to play a cover of Matchbox 20's "Push". According to reports, the entrepreneur who used his slave-generated wealth to build a private space program was on the verge of tears and within shouting distance of the key as he sang the line "Don't just stand there/say nice things to me/cuz I've been cheated and I've been wronged".

Please do! Then we can post pictures of "X marks the spot of Twitter's grave"

I'm supposed to be the random idiot here, Musk.

Stop stealing my shtick.

Hes worth 200 billion. God! I cant believe someone can actually have that kinda money and people in some part of the world can't afford a meal. If I had 200 billion , I would create X2 , will be called xtwice, just for shits and giggle. May be that's what he's doing.

If that doesn’t finally kill off Twitter, I honestly don’t know what will.
