Trump’s account was reinstated months ago.

“I don’t know why he would do this.”

Twitter was evil. X is part of his master plan.

The worst idea is that I don’t pay to subscribe and seemingly hit my “limit” if I click on a Tweet that has thousands of replies. I stopped going there because I can’t see anything other the “rate limit exceeded try back momentarily.”

Is he trying to kill Twitter?

I was suspended in October 2020 for saying Joe Biden is old and could possibly die in office if he wins two terms for “hate speech” and have never been allowed back on my account with over 1000 followers.

But it doesn’t. That’s the problem. Sure he’s got some stuff that’s {something}X but not everything, and none of it is just X. And then there’s everything else that’s X. Just pop X into your favorite search engine, scroll past the recent stories and you quickly get into how random it winds up. You’ve got X the band, X the movie, “X, the moonshot factory” which is owned by Google, the dictionary entry, X Window, OSX... it’s a crowded field.

There is advertising all over the site though so at this point I’m guessing the government got to Eli and subscribing to Twitter is an easy way to get bank account information on us “Deplorables.” There is no other reason to pay a fee for that service given to massive advertising on it.

Fine w me.

Will there be some catchy (to some) verbs such as "tweet" and "tweeted" and nouns (also "tweet") to go with the name change?

Perhaps posts on a topic on X could be called an "x-change"? Or something similar?

Maybe call the whole thing "Planet X" (instead of twitterverse)?

X will morph into The Everything App which is what Musk really wants.

The only thing I’m picking up on is Q nonsense people make up to make life more interesting. I’d suggest going for a walk.

I think it is a bad move. People tweet on Twitter. What will they do on X?

I’ve been on suspension since March. Appealed twice without any reply. They called this hate speech. Here it is:

Thanks for your appeal
You appealed:
1 Tweet

@againstgrmrs Homosexuality is also a mental disorder. Until homosexuals gained influence in the mental health profession, it was known as Same Sex Affection Disorder. It suddenly disappeared from the list.

Please note that while we review your appeal, you won’t be able to access your Twitter account. We’ll take a look and will respond as soon as possible.

If you’d rather just delete the content, you can .

If it was to be called “TwitterX” then yeah, I can see it, but just “X?” Dunno, jury is out.

What could sound more GAY than TWEETING on TWITTER?

The AI computers are tearing through twitters available bandwidth.
The entire twitter model eats bandwidth and every new subscriber geometrically crunches processing power.

We can rebrand MAGA to something with less bagage like T for T Party. T for Trump and tea party!
