It's not like Musk gives a single fuck about other people.
And he constantly deadnames and misgenders her because he's such a huge piece of shit, even to his own daughter.
It's grim. Obviously twitter still holds sway over a lot of people. And spreading malinformed propaganda is bad.
But it really underlines that anyone with any conscience whatsoever needs to disengage from it. It's not okay for governments to engage with it. And though I don't suggest that capital cares has any sort of conscience, but engaging with it has been increasing in cost and decreasing in benefit. NPR recently left, for example, and saw nearly no impact whatsoever. So the cost of leaving is low.
Ideally people would deny it any money, advertising or otherwise, until it ceases functioning. I suspect Musk will continue to be a delusional asshole for years to come. But at least twitter will be dead and gone.
X (formerly Twitter; pronounced "ten") seems to have no floor in how low they'll go.
Is it related to the six text editor?
pronounced “ten”
Is this real? Is his child whose name is also X pronounced that way? Dude needs to stop naming things that you can’t pronounce by reading them.
also did he bother to change the verb tweet? Or is the brand change as half assed as he is?
Officially, probably not. But it would get under Elongated Muskrat's skin so much if "ten" gained popularity over the "ex".com he has been trying (and failing) his whole life to popularize.
I'm just calling it American History X from now on.
American History IX is the real masterpiece.
I loved how much trans joy was actually in this movie. If they're trying to detrans people its like... Wow look at all of these unbelievably happy trans people on youtube and tumblr. But did you know... If you take hormones for medical transition it has permanent effects? 👻
Like... Yea, yea it does.
Prager U is starting to look like controlled opposition. Inadvertently putting the highlight on all of this awesome LGBT2SQIA+ content and people.

Musk must really need the money

PragerU, which is not a university, aims to “preserve American ideals.” The organization has been criticized for doubting climate change and downplaying the realities of slavery.
“PragerU has chosen X/Twitter specifically for this campaign, as it is one of the least censored social media platforms,” the organization wrote in a press release.
PragerU calls the short documentary its “most important” video yet, but extensive research shows that detransitioning is incredibly uncommon.
In spite of research indicating that these procedures are often life-saving and rarely result in regret, right-wing figures continue to drum up panic around gender-affirming care for LGBTQ+ people.
X CEO Linda Yaccarino claims that the company will be profitable by 2024, but other evidence shows that the platform’s advertising business continues to suffer.
As recently as this week, Musk has posted that he believes the word “cis” is a “heterosexual slur,” a personal position that reflects changes made to the company’s content moderation policies under his leadership.
