Twitter cofounder Jack Dorsey shared a screenshot of X.com redirecting to a GoDaddy advert, referencing the "Y" error message Elon Musk formerly used.

It appears Instagram and FB owner Meta holds the trademark for "X" as it relates to "online social networking services... social networking services in the fields of entertainment, gaming and application development..." https://t.co/vb2r67ZOzb

''They Just Took It'': Owner Of @x Claims He Didn't Get Paid For Hi...

Gene X Hwang said he simply received an email on Tuesday saying that the account was being taken over

kindred moat Jul 26, 2023, 2:39 PM

#

why would he get paid? its not his platform

#

also, users with real nanes can get booted off their nicknanes if the real person comes in

#

however, still a pretty shitty thing to do .

mighty plover Jul 26, 2023, 3:12 PM

#

atleast let them pick the new username... look at that number

mighty plover Jul 26, 2023, 9:46 PM

#

kindred moat why would he get paid? its not his platform

It's the least you can do for a user who has been on your platform for over 16 years

Wdym. Xvideos is so easy to come across

#

Twitter does videos right? kek

kindred moat Jul 28, 2023, 12:45 PM

#

i mean, just searching "x"

#

three letters at least gives something, but i doubt google's crawler cares about single letters if you know what i mean

unkempt flower Jul 28, 2023, 4:01 PM

#

i really don't like they way twitter is turning

kindred moat Jul 28, 2023, 4:05 PM

#

shrug

#

i don't like how the internet is turning

mighty plover Jul 28, 2023, 4:17 PM

#

Musk got 'X'... so I guess all he is missing is sugar spice and everything nice...

kindred moat Jul 28, 2023, 4:22 PM

#

what i hate is what he wants to do with it.

#

he wants it to act as a bank as well and literally every other services...

#

kinda wants to make wechat v2

lucid oyster Jul 29, 2023, 12:11 PM

#

yeah exactly

#

he wants to bring we-chat to the rest of the world

#

but i really don't think it's gonna work due to we-chat being state sponsored by the CCP. which i believe is the main reason it got as popular as it did

#

then again, so is tiktok

#

So we'll have to see ig

#

i just wanna get back to the Musical.ly days man

#

or even better, vine

foggy kelp Jul 30, 2023, 4:30 AM

#

the fuck

#

why would Twitter do it

solar pond Jul 30, 2023, 4:55 AM

#

He wants to make more than a social media thing ..an all purpose app aka "Super App"

kindred moat Jul 30, 2023, 4:56 AM

#

i'd rather have 10 different companies making 1 app each than 1 company making 10 apps

lucid oyster Jul 30, 2023, 12:33 PM

#

yeah, because that sounds like a monopoly in the making

foggy kelp Aug 1, 2023, 3:05 AM

#

I have a crazy theory

#

Did elon musk named Twitter "X", like... to represent like : ❌ as in.... he's deleting twitter?

mighty plover Aug 1, 2023, 3:57 AM

#

of course not

#

it's X as in X marks the spot, because he has hidden a secret message that when entered into a starlink terminal unlocks a orbital vehicles stored inside the ISS.

#

That orbital vehicle will then drop down towards your location which you can then use the exact secret message to unlock. Once you go inside you will be greated by a holographic AI that congratulates you and takes up back up to the ISS where you will meet the real elon
