Elon Musk May Have Just Signed X’s Death Warrant
(www.wired.com)
why did it take IBM and Apple so long to figure out which song was playing on the juke box here
Apple still has no problem pumping this to hundreds of millions of people through their app store for a 30% cut.
Do they really care?
Pull the app.
every fucking post on this website is about this guy I don't give a shit holy fuck stop posting him
I have a filter against his name on mobile, really wished I could do the same on desktop

Again? Is it gonna stick this time? You promise?
Time to create that Mastodon account you have been meaning to, the dual post for a while until your network is established and then delete X.
Some people seem to bounce off Mastodon, saying that it doesn't have the content that they were looking for. I'd suggest that it probably does have the content that you are looking for, but you can't expect instantly see everything you are looking for from a fresh account.
People have spent years building up their twitter feeds; finding the people they like to follow, and browsing for new things, getting recommendations, and removing they stuff they don't like. You can't expect to match that level of content 10 mins after signing up on Mastodon. You will have to look around and tell it what you want to see before it will be what you want it to be.
The difference is that Twitter has suggestions and algorithms to help you find your way around. Mastodon is all manual.
What, did he buy it again?
So they always say... and then keep reading and posting tweets all day every day.
On Wednesday, Musk appeared to endorse an antisemitic post by user @breakingbaht alleging that “Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.” In response, Musk posted, “You have spoken the actual truth.”
The original post seemed to echo the beliefs of the “great replacement” conspiracy theory, which is popular among white supremacists and right-wing extremists.
And yet, all my Jewish friends are white.
Schrodinger’s whiteness…
Jewish people tend to not be considered white even though they are oftentimes fair skinned, blue eyes, etc.
In the US, Italian and Irish immigrants also used to not be considered white either. It’s a label applied to groups when it’s most convenient. Doesn’t necessarily have a lot of logic behind it beyond racism.

Schrodinger’s whiteness…
It always is.
X I don't care about.
Not seeing this shit in my feed constantly, now that would be nice.
You can always just add his name as a filtering keyword. Tools are available to help you.
Imagine filtering "musk", "Biden", "trump", and "communism and socialism are good and moral and it has always worked every time we tried it" from Lemmy.

Starship launch tomorrow though, wouldn't want to miss out on hype because of something titled "Elon Musk's Starship Rocket" etc... I'm a big space nerd and while Elon is a dork this rocket will be a massive leap for everything space related if it works out.
Fuck X/Twitter though, sick of hearing about it for sure. I've heard rumours that SpaceX only does as well as they do because they have Shotwell running the show and they have Elon wranglers to keep him away from anything important...

Is that beard to make him look younger? Because it looks like that beard you sometimes see on young guys figuring out that they can't really grow a decent beard...

How many times does he have to sign the warrant before it actually dies tho?
3 times, but he has to do it in front of a mirror. When he was about to do the third time he renamed it, thus resetting the counter.
Again?
What is IBM advertising there?
Any one of the large brands they own, I assume: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mergers_and_acquisitions_by_IBM
