...noted in a post on X...
Unrelated, but remember when you could (and still can) just say "tweet?" But because "post" is platform agnostic, you now have to specify where that post is. Great job, Elon. Great job having X parked at twitter.com and encouraging users to switch to saying "post" instead of "tweet."
You are truly Social Media Brian.
You're assuming Elon's goal is to actually run it as a broad social networking platform. What if his goal is to drive all the Liberals away and make it a safe space for racists and fascists? Then it makes more sense.
There's a reason why conservative "free speech" platforms never work:
Elon could totally float the company, but it'll be a massive money pit overtime. They are shedding users (over 10% since the takeover) and ad revenue, and once there's a viable alternative, there will likely be a much larger Exodus, similar to what happened to Myspace users moving to Facebook.
Could be. I don't know that he has such an aim, except that he runs it on whims which inevitably lead him there anyway, because that's who he is on the outset.
It would have been cheaper to just start his own, maybe under the X brand directly. Instead of killing twitter.
It probably is his goal, but throwing away the brand recognition of twitter does not make much sense for that either.
I've just been dead-naming x the whole time.
Same. Elon would do no less for his own trans daughter, so it's the only appropriate response.
Still says twitter.com in the address bar for me so imma keep calling it twitter.
I mean, I'll still call it twitter even if that changes. The whole rename/rebrand is bull and I refuse to participate in it.
Afaik it only says “x.com” if you share a link from a mobile app. So it only uses that domain where you’re least likely to see it. Top notch work there.
I'm all in on calling it "Xitter" (pronounced shitter) and "xeet" pronounced "shit."
Always smart to underestimate your opponent. Real stable genius action at work right here.
it's the one orange braincell that doesn't know where 40 wall street is unless his driver takes him there and announces the destination.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
New York Attorney General Letitia James was seen cracking up during former President Donald Trump's testimony, according to reporters in the courtroom.
The former president has denied all wrongdoing and claims that all of his legal woes are due to a political "witch hunt" against him as he campaigns in the 2024 presidential election.
Trump, who has previously blasted James on his Truth Social platform, calling her "corrupt and racist," lashed out at the attorney general while on the stand, prompting her to laugh at one of his comments, according to reporters who were in the courtroom on Monday.
Adam Klasfeld, a senior legal correspondent for news outlet The Messenger, said in a post on X, formerly Twitter, that after Trump claimed James didn't "even know what 40 Wall Street is," the attorney general was seen cracking up in response.
New York Daily News staff reporter Molly Crane-Newman, who was also in the courtroom, noted in a post on X that James' NYC office is "right next door" to 40 Wall Street.
"This morning, Donald Trump resorted to bullying and name-calling, he gave rambling answers and hurled insults from the witness stand to distract from the truth," the attorney general posted.

She’s having a great time. Already won the case, just cruising to the end on laughs.
I guess it's hard not to.
She's not superhuman. Nobody can hold a straight face against so much nonsense and self-ownage.
