Only a quarter? Who are they trying to advertise to at this point? Neo-Nazis?

[-] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 30 points 1 month ago

The vast amount of liberals who still refuse to drop the platform because muh followers and muh reach.

[-] normalexit@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Neo Nazis need gold coins too!

[-] metaStatic@kbin.earth 5 points 1 month ago

"We buy gold" ... "with bitcoin"

is that a thing yet? let me just open a Xitter account real quick ...

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

$2B of advertising, even.

[-] TootSweet@lemmy.world 33 points 1 month ago

The other three quarters are just scared that Elom will sue them if they cut advertising.

(Not really. I suspect many of the other 75% just aren't willing to admit they're planning to loosen ties with Twitter (I will not call it "X") just yet.)

[-] remotelove@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

Just call it X-Twitter. It ain't twitter any more, and "X" is just dumb as fuck.

[-] metaStatic@kbin.earth 19 points 1 month ago

Xitter. Pronounced Shitter

[-] Buford_T_Justice@reddthat.com 1 points 1 month ago

I wasn't sure how to pronounce xi. I have been calling it sheeeter like Ren from Ren and stimpy.

[-] Tja@programming.dev 4 points 1 month ago

What you’re refering to as Twitter, is in fact, X/Twitter, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, X plus Twitter...

[-] metaStatic@kbin.earth 2 points 1 month ago

I use newsgroups btw

[-] metaStatic@kbin.earth 7 points 1 month ago

the rest will just call it unplanned

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

We forgot to renew our contract

Musk knows he can’t hurt the big companies in court, that’s why he’s mostly suing small non-profit watch dogs.

elons gonna rebrand it y next because y do people even bother with it

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

So they noticed that it is time to get out of the bog before they start to stink?

[-] bender223@lemmy.today 3 points 1 month ago

Oh noes! eLon gonna sue them! 😮

[-] bkuri@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

Not nearly enough

[-] ohwhatfollyisman@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

well, if you sever a quarter of X, particularly the south-east one, you're left with y.

looks like another rebranding exercise is in the mix?
