15dElon Musk May Have Just Signed X’s Death Warrant
wired.com
IBM, Lionsgate, the European Union, and, reportedly, Apple, have all pulled advertising from X following Elon Musk’s apparent endorsement of an antisemitic conspiracy theory. Experts say it could soon get much worse.#elonmusk#x

I'm just one person, but that comment is what put me over the edge. I cancelled my subscription to X after he said that.

I'm glad something put you over the edge, odd that the hundred other problematic things he's said and done didn't.

I left a long while ago. It has basically become Elon's personal $40 billion subreddit to make him giggle and stroke his ego. And showed us all his true colors. He went from admired engineer to supporter of far right white supremacists.

Why are we even paying attention to X-twitter still?

Would you pay attention to a train wreck if it was happening right in front of you?

Yes but this why trump still has a grip on US politics. He realized a long time ago that being a train wreck was a tremendously good way to get free air time. The same thing happens with Elon. Every time he has another unbelievably shitty thought we have to write another article about him. If we could somehow look away from the thought train wreck, he’d have altogether a lot less undeserved influence on the world.

I do completely agree with this. The problem being, we love entertainment and drama. Can hardly fault people for being bombarded by the media with all the stupidity around us.

That’s the same concept that works so well for “stupid “ ads, it makes them memorable.

It's almost as if he is purposely f*cking up that app. An insanely rich brat...with a shitty name.

Let’s all be honest, It’s not gonna happen.

Definitely not, but they did set themselves back 5-10 years and open up the space to competition.

Lol, no. Tell me you don't understand network effects without telling me you don't understand network effects.
