AN FRANCISCO (The Borowitz Report)—One week after changing Twitter’s name to X, Elon Musk has changed his own name to WTF.
Explaining the decision to reporters, he said, “Elon Musk is an O.K. name, but WTF fits me better.”
I know that people everywhere have extremely warm and positive associations with the name Elon Musk,” he added. “But, as we say at SpaceX, sometimes you have to blow things up.”
The tech magnate revealed that his new name had been chosen “in a fun contest” by employees at X headquarters. “People may have been pissed when I wouldn’t let them work from home, but one perk of coming in to the office is you get to do cool stuff like this,” he noted.
He said that the name WTF won the contest after beating back a strong challenge from the employees’ second-favorite name for him, LMFAO.
Yeah, what the world was crying out for before galaxy brain got his claws into Twitter was more and easier access to the ravings of incels, Nazis and other invertebrates. I tells ya, its FUCKING GENIUS! Elno spotted a need that existed only among a vanishingly small set of rabid edge lords and promptly paid an exorbitant price to service the worst people in the world, who are in a perpetual rage because ANY OTHER viewpoint is allowed to be expressed.
Debate? DEBATE? with specimens who are possessed by unshakeable opinions based on no evidence at all, and believe public debate of the day's issues is best carried out via flame wars, where only the nastiest can survive.
I noticed today that ads are being more carefully concealed with the word Ad at the top next to the pulldown box rather than being called whatever it was before (I'm drawing a blank at the moment).
He's stopped whining about Threads? Or is this just an ongoing whine, rolling previous ones into a bigger and bigger bundle of butthurt?
And when Trump comes around asking for another Cambridge Analytica* 'boost' to their campaign Elon will be only too happy to stick a knife into privacy and free expression for some real money.
I finally left Twitter when I could no longer see the free speech forest for the hate speech trees. By which I mean even after blocking a shit ton of hateful accounts, the algorithm that promotes blue checks was making that not even matter - because there were always more of them to block and I couldn't see ANY non-hateful content.
It kind of blows me away that he paid 44 billion dollars for a site that now only has half a billion regular users.
The presumption is, the world's wealthiest crybaby chose "X" because "Q" was already taken.
On edit: Also, because "X" was the closest letter to a Nazi swastika.
Everyone and everything Elno dislikes is a “bot” that is “illegally scraping” data from his precious X. It’s his version of “woke” or “socialist”.
Like all on the right, Elon cares only about himself and what he wants.
SLAPP that clown into submission. If I wanted to invoke the Banhammer of Loving Correction, I'd say something about tar and feathers, but I shan't.
Musk is not even fucking that chicken anymore. He's trying to fuck a live ostrich that is NOT into it, and wondering why his life is going so poorly.
May this dumb attempt to silence a critic get SLAPPed into oblivion.

X: Where people go to Xcrete what is on their minds.
I guess he is not that really into free speech when it hurts HIS feelings?
So, he's a conservative then.
All free speech is equal, some is just less equal.

Only way he'll get any more money from Twitter. Of course he'd take it.

He’d be Stalin if he could
