Twitter begins faking metrics in attempt to gaslight its own shareholders

Imagine being a billionaire who can pay multiple assistants to ensure everything is done properly, and you still decide it's a good idea to half-ass everything instead.

This officially means Twitter died, right?

That aside, not just NSFW sites, but it is going be confusing in general.

He wants to create an app for everything. Pass.

 

[SylverReZ]

He wants to watch his whole company burn before his very eyes lmao.

 

[Dark_Ansem]

I wonder how much he thinks this will help him become the next potus

Lost his shit when he finally realized Twitter was never gonna be profitable. No doubt a number of people told him that would be the case before he bought it though.

So are people going to send out "tweets" anymore? Or will they be "x'es"?

It makes no sense, but I just don't care anymore if it goes under.

Xes are only gonna be sent from Texas. There, that's a better dad joke than the one I made earlier.

And we all know how much everyone loves "Ex-es"

Money buys you more trust than competence can earn you in the US, unfortunately.

This is the gift that keeps on giving...turns out the trademark for "X" is already owned by Microsoft. I assume because of Direct X.

Meta also has X. He either didn't care or forgot to check this legally.

I really hope he doesn't mess up his other companies.

Is Microsoft making alphabetical characters 'illegal' now?

Nah it's a trademark, not a copyright. Which means they own the use of it only in certain contexts. As KingVamp pointed out, Meta owns the trademark for use in social media contexts, so Elon is double-fucked there.

Aaaand, the logo is plain copy of Xerox's one (X-windows anyone?)

Inheritance based on originally stolen property doesn't sadly grant even half a brain to Muskrat.

Correct. A trademark can be stamped on the name for a product or company, whereas a copyright protects authorship for the works that this person created. Elon in this case, double-dicked himself round the arse as here, he might've committed 'trademark infringement' by using the name that another company had registered under their name.

People really arguing about who owns "x". Good stuff.

 

[Marc_LFD]

Tweets become Exes, so here's X's anthem:

Nobody's "arguing" about it. We know multiple parties own the trademark for it already. It can't be copyrighted for obvious reasons.

Oh tabzer is in denial again
