Only a quarter? Who are they trying to advertise to at this point? Neo-Nazis?

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 30 points 1 year ago

The vast amount of liberals who still refuse to drop the platform because muh followers and muh reach.

[–] normalexit@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Neo Nazis need gold coins too!

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 5 points 1 year ago

"We buy gold" ... "with bitcoin"

is that a thing yet? let me just open a Xitter account real quick ...

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

$2B of advertising, even.

[–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago (3 children)

The other three quarters are just scared that Elom will sue them if they cut advertising.

(Not really. I suspect many of the other 75% just aren't willing to admit they're planning to loosen ties with Twitter (I will not call it "X") just yet.)

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Just call it X-Twitter. It ain't twitter any more, and "X" is just dumb as fuck.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Xitter. Pronounced Shitter

[–] Buford_T_Justice@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

I wasn't sure how to pronounce xi. I have been calling it sheeeter like Ren from Ren and stimpy.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What you’re refering to as Twitter, is in fact, X/Twitter, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, X plus Twitter...

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 2 points 1 year ago

I use newsgroups btw

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

the rest will just call it unplanned

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

We forgot to renew our contract

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Musk knows he can’t hurt the big companies in court, that’s why he’s mostly suing small non-profit watch dogs.

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 year ago

elons gonna rebrand it y next because y do people even bother with it

[–] bender223@lemmy.today 3 points 1 year ago

Oh noes! eLon gonna sue them! 😮

[–] ohwhatfollyisman@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

well, if you sever a quarter of X, particularly the south-east one, you're left with y.

looks like another rebranding exercise is in the mix?

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

So they noticed that it is time to get out of the bog before they start to stink?
