Walked right into this one, didn't he?

[-] khannie@lemmy.world 144 points 10 months ago

In fairness the setup was absolutely beautiful. She's some woman for the zingers.

[-] ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world 134 points 10 months ago

Well, the setup worked for whichever side chimed in. Elon never stood a chance. The fact that she was describing multiple people is truely terrifying. But I guess that's her point.

[-] Jaysyn@kbin.social 185 points 10 months ago

What a fucking narcissist.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 75 points 10 months ago

She was definitely talking about Elongated, but probably had that comeback planned ahead of time.

[-] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 40 points 10 months ago

It's everyone's dream come true - when the comebacks you think up in the shower or before going to bed actually get to be used

Hasn't AOC been involved in institutional debates about Meta for a long while now?

I bet that toasted his buns. His ego is at critical mass.

[-] Rubisco@slrpnk.net 41 points 10 months ago

Once someone explained it to him.

So vain he probably thinnks this xeet is about him.

I assume xeet is the new word for tweet.

[-] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 41 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

"it's an x! You send X's on X!"

-Elon, probably.

[-] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago

In a recent interview this came up, and the best word be said he could come up with was post, but he was hoping for something better.

I don't think they'll ever get something good like tweeting on twitter. X is terrible for that.

[-] Lightor@lemmy.world 29 points 10 months ago

By every metric it's horrible. Searching for the term, using it as a verb and noun, ease of saying it in a sentence, recognition, as a logo, color scheme, the fact that X sounds a lot like ex as in something I previously engaged in but no longer do (irony) . I mean I could go on and on.

I refuse to believe no one told him how poor of an idea it is, I think he just has too much money to be able to listen to others.

Is there a place to verify these posts are real without actually touching Twitter (currently known as Elon Musk's X)? I see there's blue checkmarks on them but I have a feeling a really cleaver hacker could fake those in an image.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 71 points 10 months ago

Here’s my Nitter search with some filters:

The iPhone let me copy that text out of the image (fastest way was to screenshot and then hold my finger on the text in the screenshot preview). I then tapped “look up” and DuckDuckGo found articles about the exchange. But for less popular Tweets, Nitter should work.

I don't know of any service that verifies tweets, but this one is real: https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-aoc-stop-hitting-on-me-tweet-mark-zuckerberg-2022-4

[-] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

Business Insider is basically a tabliod shitrag nowadays

You don't need to be a hacker to edit an image...

It's honestly really gross that he immediately jumps to thinking she's hitting on him. Like, him freaking out and going into a fit of rage might have been a less terrible response.

[-] BillyTheSkidMark@lemm.ee 130 points 10 months ago

I assume he doesn't really think that, but thinks he's being a cute troll. Like picking 420.69 for everything.

Trying to deflect assumed criticism about him by being "funny".

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 42 points 10 months ago

Musk sent the funniest response he could possibly think of.

Remember middle school?

NO I WON’T MAKE OUT WITH YOU!

Or was that elementary?

Man I really needed that laugh this morning lol

[-] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 36 points 10 months ago

Does Zuck hang out with Tucker & Thiel also? It wouldn’t surprise me, but I hadn’t heard about it…not to the extent that Elon does, anyway.

[-] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 27 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I assume anyone in silicon valley with two commas has hung out with Thiel at some point. He was one of the earliest investors in FB

[-] TomMasz@lemmy.world 34 points 10 months ago

Any armchair psychologists care to weigh in on Elmo?

[-] Restaldt@lemmy.world 46 points 10 months ago

Honestly, I think it's that simple.

Many issues, will never change.

[-] LemmysMum@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

Stop attributing the name of one of the most beloved, friendly and wonderful muppets to ever exist, and who provided countless people decades of joy to that fucking shit stain Elongated Muskrat.
