SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Elon Musk has generously offered to give Mark Zuckerberg $1 billion to simply change Facebook's name to "Faceboob."
"Think of how much happier everyone will be logging onto 'Faceboob'," said Mr. Musk. "I already jotted down some great ideas for the new site logo. They're pretty good, if I do say so myself. Just trying to do a little good for humanity."
The offer comes on the heels of a similar proposition Musk made to the head of Wikipedia this week to change the name of the online reference site to something quite clever that rhymes with Wikipedia. According to sources, Zuckerberg responded to Musk over Threads and later had to have an intern post it on X so people would see it.
"When Elon called and offered to give me a billion dollars to change our name, I thought he was joking," Zuckerberg wrote. "But he wouldn't let it go and I eventually realized he was serious. I'd be lying if I said I didn't consider it for a minute. 'Faceboob' does have a certain, as the French say, je ne sais quoi."
As of print time, Musk had offered to arm-wrestle Zuckerberg for the chance to change the name of Meta to Feta and turn it into a Greek cheese factory. Zuck declined.
I gave up on Fakebook years ago. But I might consider “Faceboob”. It has a soft and friendly sound to it.
Gee...I was smiling cuz it sounds like something Musk might do. He has a strange sense of humor. Love the guy!!
Did Musk and Zuckerberg ever have that MMA match?
When are these two planning to have their UFC cage-match?
Its a friendly word. Like tits...
Tit's meet Toots. Toots, Tits. Tits, Toots... New Nabisco Tits! ... corn tits, cheese tits, tater tits!"
I miss George Carlin. Not just a great comedian and social commentator, he was brilliant and very literate. Truly one of a rare kind.
I see assbook.com is still available.
But I have to say Elon, if you are eager to give money away, I will change my name for only a million.
Fakebook is a more descriptive name.
How about 4dipshitsonly.
Actually, Boobbook would be a billion-dollar idea, if you get my drift...
The Bible forbids coarse humor, so I will refrain
Faceboob would be an ideal forum for posting pictures of your motorboat.
The original "Facebook" (first called "Facemash") was a book of pictures of college students, to attract "Hot or Not" comments. I'm guessing that (at least for the females), "Boobbook" would have been appropriate as well.
These days, not so much. FB is mostly pictures of meals, cats, and stupid selfies. For mammaries, you would do better at OnlyFans or similar.
