For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

Pox = post + X.
Damn, nailed it
He renamed the site Eggs, so call them eggs. I really don’t see how this is supposed to get rid of the bird theme though.
X is what he first called PayPal, I wonder if this is just some sad fantasy for Musk.
He had a company/brand called X which did the same thing as PayPal and merged with Confinity, who made PayPal. He wanted to use the X name for PayPal, but everyone else at the company nixed it.
Dude's a cringey edgelord I'm surprised all of his don't have an x in their names
X Æ A-12

SpaceX, Model X, X.com (pre PayPal), and even named his son X. Dude's got a weird obsession with making X work.
Promotes the name change by linking to something that calls it Twitter. Big brain time from Musk yet again.
I thought it was a logo change not name change.
Wouldn’t you want to forward Twitter.com to X.com and not the other way around?? It’s not possible someone with this much wealth is this dumb.
Well clearly you're wrong about that.
☹️
I thought Elon stepped down from Twitter and hired a new CEO? What's he still doing there?
He stepped down as CEO but is still president, CTO and anything else he feels like being while he can scapegoat his female CEO for anything he wants.
Twating.
Sounds like a porn site not gonna lie
Another social media platform dominated by furry pron.
All that it's good for.
X.co.....m sounds like an xxx site !
xvideos.com is twitter’s new video hosting site
Where no one lands their shots even with 90% odds, huh?

It’s a symbol to his fan base. Which is wild that that’s the head space he’s in. Still trying to be that cool kid amongst his rabble of friends.
It’s not even “new” he was trying to get PayPal called X and everyone squashed it (thankfully), so even there, he’s been waiting like 25y to get X on something lol
So, yes official. Don't message your X
early user testing of the new service reports are that the iconic tweet sound will be replaced by an ai-generated voice recording of deceased rapper DMX’s iconic canine-esque barking even though DMX’s estate has not given permission nor will they receive any compensation.
when sending messages, it will make a sound of “x gonna give it to ya”. again, no compensation to be had to the DMX estate, nor the ruff ryders.

It’s still not dead?! Let’s try something else!
Twats, we should call him, after the owner
Im fucking sure Elon pretty much drew the logo himself and gets a wild boner when he thinks how fucking smart he is.
Lol .. what an idiot.
He was a big DMX fan
I can't imagine how much the x.com domain costed him. Like I know most three or four letter domains trade hands for six figures sometimes since there's so few
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-letter_second-level_domain
Like apparently single letter domains are reserved so idk how he got one
Edit: found out. He bought it from PayPal after they stopped using it for their brand years ago. $6.8 million dollars for a domain.
He wanted PayPal to be called X so I’m wondering if he didn’t have this domain the whole time.
The wiki article says as much
Money. If something is “reserved” or even “illegal” you just need to pay more
Probably something that makes it even harder and more confusing to understand in context, so I'm gonna say he calls them "texts"
Gonna give it to you's?
