They trash Musk mostly because he’s backing Trump.
They didn’t trash Musk so much before that.
Those who are purposefully hanging onto the old blue birdbrain name because there is simply so much TRUTH posted on X and post clarifications that they find X unpalatable for communists and their propaganda.
As I said I know nothing about the company, but looking at the site, I am not impressed with their presentatin, at all. That's just a personal assessment. Others may be entralled. Makes no dfference to me.
Of course! As Twitter it was the paragon of controlled speech — then Elon freed it up.
another perfect example as to why any article that starts with “experts say” almost always is a waste of time to read or listen to ...
Most people still say Twitter? Really? I don’t. X is X, easy peasy.
Most is always a loaded assessment. I know no one who says I found it on X but different circles are undibtably different.
While Twitter is succeeding, the article’s prediction was correct. Nobody has embraced the “X” branding. Everyone refers to X as Twitter, or in media, “X, formerly Twitter”. The left’s disappointment is that X is thriving, regardless of branding. Prince’s failed rebranding to an unpronounceable symbol also failed, but his success continued.
Good one! I look better in the shade.
