'Star Wars' actor threatens Elon Musk with Twitter boycott after name rebrand: 'Let's show the owner'
FOX NEWS ^ | July 31, 2023 | Jeffrey Clark

Actor Mark Hamill is calling on other Twitter users to boycott the site on Aug. 1 in an apparent attempt to protest Elon Musk’s ownership of the social media platform that's rebranding as "X."

"This will only be effective if EVERYONE refrains from tweeting (X-ing?) on August 1st a/k/a #TweetlessTuesday. Let's show the owner the POWER OF THE PEOPLE. Honestly, would it kill you to keep your thoughts to yourself for 1 d--- day? Read a book!" Hamill told his fans Sunday.

The "Star Wars" actor also made another call to boycott Twitter on Saturday. "Looking forward to taking a day off on #TweetlessTuesday!!!"

Hamill is one of the leading voices lashing out at Musk over his major changes to the site. He also insulted Twitter's new logo in July, sharing a picture of the "X" on the company's offices in San Francisco.

"Has everybody seen the (eXecrable) new logo?" the star wrote, making a pun on Twitter’s new name. Hamill also tweeted the hashtags "ByeByeBirdie" and "TaTaTwitter."

Hamill's most recent post attacking Musk's leadership of the platform went viral, racking up over 4.6 million views and more than 44,500 likes as of publication.

Leftist political commentator and influencer "Jo" said that she would follow Hamill "into the depths of hell," even it meant avoiding weighing in on big news.

Mark Hamil is the Wil Wheaton of Star Wars.

Wil Wheaton threaten Jeopardy host.
Star Trek Next Generation actor hated by many when he was on the show. Made a guest appearance on recent Star Trek Picard that just cemented how awful his character was.

Wil is known as not being nice.

“This is a VERY small town, Ken Jennings, and we will all remember this,” “Star Trek: The Next Generation” star Wheaton wrote on the social media platform. “Your privilege may protect you right now, but we will *never* forget.”

Why does it matter whether Twitter uses a bird or an “X” for its logo?

Normally I would say he should stick to acting but he is not much of an actor.

Well, deep thinking isn't in his wheelhouse either, and he's too weak to hump bricks up scaffolding, so...

The left (along with some of the pretend right) have been smearing Musk since before he took over Twitter, but when he finally completed it, they’ve been MDS-ing their way through the pages of their fake history.

One of the TMs Musk wanted to recover from his much younger days’ startups was X, a little nostalgia perhaps. Beyond that, I’m not sure why he wants a name change, unless it has to do with rebranding a notorious censorship house.

These actors think they matter.

Cute, that is.
