    The problem is, is that if you engage with anyone outside of the internet, they have no fucking idea what you’re talking about when you call it “X”.

    It’s so fucking stupid of a name. Even worse than Facebook changing to Meta.

    You can ask people to call it “X” all day, every day, but you can’t just change the name of your brand/product to a single letter, that people use every day for other things, and expect it to work out for you.

      That was totally his idea, the idea of a fucking imbecile, I bet he fired the entire PR and marketing departments, because he thinks he knows better.

        An imbecile narcissist. He probably thought he could literally take over the mindshare of “x”. Megalomania seems like his brand, though, so no surprises there.

        If I win the Powerball I’ll be able to afford a good Dom.

        Now the real paradox: if I can only cum when billionaires can’t get their way but I’m a billionaire and my mistress denies me orgasm, what happens? Does the universe implode on itself?

      When a trans person comes out, their dead name is the name they’ve abandoned in favor of their chosen name. Deadnaming someone is calling them by their old name. When done intentionally, it’s considered incredibly rude.

      Musk has a trans child whom he refuses to refer to by their chosen name, and he complains that people refuse to call his company by its new name.

        At the risk of getting sued, this is how Elon runs his businesses.

        Shows up late to nearly every meeting, and then will ridicule his management team for wasting his time.

        He’ll blow millions of dollars on an incredibly stupid idea that doesn’t work and every expert in the room advised him against and then he’ll turn around and fire managers for not saving pennies on a part.

        He constantly lies to investors, customers and government agencies by promising things he knows he cannot deliver and then will fire managers for not setting achievable goals.

        Fuck this piece of shit. He deserves everything that’s coming to him.

          If only there were laws against false advertising and making false statements that benefit your companies…

    I could call it that but then nobody would know what the fuck I’m talking about. Maybe at least pick a name that’s unique?

      i’m going to stop calling it twitter when twitter.com redirects to x.com, and not the other way around

      at that point i would stop talking about it, because X is just too stupid
