A Startup Brought Back āTwitterā ā Now X Is Suing
Operation Bluebird has launched Twitter.now while fighting X over rights to the Twitter name, betting nostalgia and AI tools can build a new social network.
Musk is getting the last laugh.
It makes about 3% profit, according to Grok.
If it was paid off, that would be an ok amount to make.
Yep.
Remember when legacy media kept predicting X was finished after all these big companies pulled their ads?
It makes about 3% profit, according to Grok.

I wish I could be reinstated.
I was made so I cannot post. No reason given.
I suspect AI
I know other conservatives who also said the same happened.
I know what he wants to do with it. It’s a nexus point to everything that he envisions to be, which includes possible banking and everything.
A legal version of the Dark Web, effectively.
However, as a standalone product, it’s doing ok. X costs very little in maintenance.
It’s my understanding that you can no longer take a look at comments and articles on X without paying for a membership first. Too bad. I used to enjoy looking at what was said.
Not saying I won’t ever pay for membership, just not now.
True but Iāve also seen so many characters getting on there and discouraging people from voting. For a while it was gas prices are too high and Trump hasnāt done anything. He said he would so Iām voting Democrat and I encourage you to do so as well. everything heās done is a lie, blah blah blah.
Now itās all the big campaign about Trump is a Russia, Russia, Russia agent they always knew it and now heās proving it because he wants to take away the sanctions on Russia. I just write back to them and say he didnāt read the bill did you? I donāt know if they bought or not but a lot of them are senators and politicians of other sorts. Mike Pence, Croniyn, Tillis, Cassidy, all those folks, Don, Bacon, and on and on and on.
Ai does not understand hyperbole, metaphors, sarcasm, figures of speech in general.
“Itās my understanding that you can no longer take a look at comments and articles on X without paying for a membership first”
Wrong!
Great; but we need still more options. Depending too much on Musk is no better than depending too much on Murdoch and his lefty sons.
“Ai does not understand hyperbole, metaphors, sarcasm, figures of speech in general.”
all AI search engines just scrape what’s on the internet, and since most sites have banned conservative comment, all they find is leftist lies, which they then formulate into natural language and present as “THE TRUTH” ...
Remember they were able to shut down Parler after 1/6?
Oh. really? Maybe I’ll try again in a few days.
Plenty of far left crazies in X, mostly leftovers from the Dorsey, Vijaya Gadde days, but right now there are at least an equal number of conservatives, who are tough and keep clobbering the left wing crazies in vigorous debates. I never even joined till Musk took over and sacked Gadde, Yoel Roth etc. It’s a great place right now.
Grok:
Private companiesāprimarily Amazon Web Services (AWS), Apple, and Googleādeplatformed Parler in mid-January 2021 over content moderation failures related to violent posts after the January 6 Capitol riot. This happened while Donald Trump was still president; Joe Biden was inaugurated on January 20.
My dog is registered on X and he sees all the articles and comments.
Needless to say he does not pay for the privilege.
Lol.
