fr! I'll start calling it "X" when he calls his daughter Vivian
You do realize that X is now it’s official name right? Elon changed the name to X and deprecated the twitter name. At the end of the domain registration, he is not going to re-register twitter.com as the domain name, and because he owns the trademark on it, he is going to sue anyone who tries to re-use the domain name.
Don't care. I'm still going to dead name the bird site.
I dropped it when trump was spewing his bs on it. My feed was 90% Trump bs and re-posts. I actively dumped fb, twitter and a few others back in 2019 and My life has been so much better since then.
Just requires whoever picks it up be in a country that doesn't respect US IP law.
Hopefully that means we cab finally stop giving that shit website any attention.
Well he is helping it along with the latest talking point that he is going to make X a subscription only platform, aka you must pay to play.
