Elon f*cks Twitter

[Noodles]

I can't wait for 6 months from now when Musk is forced to give Dickpedia a Billion dollars after lawsuits find this tweet binding like his deal to buy Twitter.

Then it goes back to Wikipedia, because he did not condition it to be permenant.

I think journalists would benefit from a word processor macro that would, if they type the capital letter X, and then a comma, the program automatically inserts "formerly known as Twitter."

Nah, just Control+F, Replace, "X", with "Twitter".

Don't acknowledge the X. At worst, its trolling Musk.

Ugh.

X is officially rolling out audio and video calls

One step closer to the “everything” app.

www.theverge.com

X, the platform previously known as Twitter, is rolling out audio and video calls. Several users on the platform, including some of us here at The Verge, have received a notification when opening the app, stating: “Audio and video calls are here!”

There’s also a new “Enable audio and video calling” toggle within the app’s settings, which says you can “turn the feature on and then select who you’re comfortable using it with.” It includes options to allow audio and video calls from only people in your address book, people you follow, verified users, or all three. You can then make a call by opening a DM with another user, selecting the phone icon in the top right corner of the screen, and choosing audio or video call.

When Linda Yaccarino exits X, it will be proper to call her the ex-X CEO.

And now for some religious revelation by our saviour, Elon Musk!

Oh boy, managing my finances through Twi...X. Just what I've been wanting.

Elon Musk gives X employees one year to replace your bank

Musk wants your “entire financial life” on his platform.

www.theverge.com

Elon Musk wants X to be the center of your financial world, handling anything in your life that deals with money. He expects those features to launch by the end of 2024, he told X employees during an all hands call on Thursday, saying that people will be surprised with “just how powerful it is.”

“When I say payments, I actually mean someone’s entire financial life,” Musk said, according to audio of the meeting obtained by The Verge. “If it involves money. It’ll be on our platform. Money or securities or whatever. So, it’s not just like send $20 to my friend. I’m talking about, like, you won’t need a bank account.”

X CEO Linda Yaccarino said the company sees this becoming a “full opportunity” in 2024. “It would blow my mind if we don’t have that rolled out by the end of next year,” Musk said.

Well, sign me up for some potential mind blowing.

Our friend, the Israeli travel guy, is looking closer at the strange love of the left for Palestine/Muslim socities, because he thinks that this is a very one-sided and unhealthy relationship: everything the left do hate about the conservatives in their own countries, is at least 100 times worse in muslimic ones. And that's just the beginning.

Elon Musk’s Twitter, one year later - The Verge

In a year that was supposed to bring aggressive changes to deal with bots and impersonation to the initial seeds of an “everything app,” the platform has instead been plagued by bad decisions of Musk’s own making — capped off by a baffling rebranding to the letter X. It’s now facing more competition than ever while staring down an abbreviated list of advertising partners that have departed the platform over concern for its instability under Musk.

I would stuff my life savings in a mattress before I would link it to anything Elon Musk touches.
