Elon Musk's Twitter Rebrand is Backfiring
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 авг 2023
- In this video I discuss how the rebranding of Twitter to X has caused the app to be blocked in several countries and by different content filters, as well as how Elon Musk's request to remove the blocking feature from X could result in the app getting delisted from the Apple app store and the Google Play store.

How to destroy a company: Remove features, Rebrand to something closely related to adult content, and finally be cocky as a CEO.
All the metrics related to content are surging on X. Content creators are being paid as well while platforms like this are adding more advertisements and less payouts for the people that actually do the work and make videos. Nice cope though.
@@krastinovmTwitter has lost 50% of it’s advertising revenue. Elon is ruining the site for anyone using it for business, be that artists, journalists, or companies that work THROUGH twitter for various reasons. If you are so blind to this man’s clear flaming downward spiral, I think you should re-evaluate what you view as “success”. Because this ain’t it.
@@primordialwackass user minutes drives revenue growth and those metrics are improving. Here’s some additional context for the previous hit in ad revenue: legacy journalists and companies left the site. This is because they are government captured propaganda machines. Of course they would leave with their money and X would take a hit. This is ultimately good, the opportunity to build back X without biased interference is a huge win for freedom of speech and it leads to better citizen content. When viewership grows, market forces will bring back ad revenues. Elon Musk oozes success and only those with slave morality think he’s in a “flaming downward spiral”. In fact he’s so successful, our two tiered justice system is finding ways to penalize his various enterprises with bogus lawsuits.
@@primordialwackasspreach brother. But then again all these "success" people put all their time and energy on money-making so they are dumb as rocks about awareness and analysis. That's why they continuously put out copium like "Twitter is successful under Elon Musk".
@@krastinovm This Bot is the embodiment of the dog sitting in the burning restaurant meme.
I doubt it was on purpose, but if Elon destroys twitter it would be the best outcome
Remember what happened to Tumblr? Their site died but their users simply migrated to somewhere else, be careful what you wish for.
@@notimportant3033all they have are options worse than twitter maybe they'll go back to tumblr since that's where they came from
@@notimportant3033dumblr died because of they removed p*rn?
@@notimportant3033 Tumblr isn't dead, It's the worst of ya that migrated. normal tumblorians kept posting and are posting til this day. take @ hellsite-hall-of-fame for example
It's a containment zone. If it goes down, they'll flood other areas like they did w/ Tumblr.
About Elon having a bunch of bots. It's actually because when you make a new twitter account, the app forces you to follow random stuff for its algorithm before you can start using it, and Elon's account gets shilled (recommended) the hardest in that list.
lol
Same thing happens in MySpace, yeah.
@@maiyannah That site still exists? 💀💀💀
@@MrChef-hz4su it only gets about 100,000 users a month but yes still alive
Inactive users is very likely. I mean I never use Twitter, but I logged in after Elon bought the company. I look at some posts sometimes and I never post. I use it more than Facebook... but I never ever log into Facebook. I would say that most people over 35 just don't care about social media. It is just a place for people to complain to their pretend friends.
I seriously don't understand how he thought that destroying one of the most recognizable brand names would possibly be a good idea.
Hes doing it for the greater good of destroying twitter
Explain how human psychology will suffer from Twitter disappearing. Go.
Because only pieces of shit use Twitter.
It's a good idea actually, how can you not understand? are you so domb? lol
@@xXVibrantSnowXx
>are you so domb
>domb
Are you?
I'm surprised the Twitter engineers didn't just make it so every new account is automatically following Elon at creation, like Myspace Tom.
He is the first recommended account to follow when registering a new account
Like India and t-series
What does this have to do with this?@@markellii3093
new accounts do follow elon musk
I'm pretty sure he does, I don't remember following him and yet I kept on getting his tweets and apparently I was following him, at least block works
It is frankly *insane* that everyone but Elon Musk saw this coming. My grandmother who has never used social media in her life instantly knew that it was a stupid idea that was doomed to fail.
Makes you think how he aquired all that money in the first place...
^Inheritance, mostly.
Doesn't surprise me at all. This is Elon Musk we're talking about here. The dude is an idiot.
@@Delightfully_Bitchy That, and scamming people.
Elon got lucky by being one of the coattail riders on PayPal. Then he created a cult of personality around Tesla, and for a while people bought into it. Which is why Tesla was worth more as a company than any other auto maker, despite making fewer cars in a year than GM makes in a week.
Then people realized that the cult of personality was misplaced, while Elon is doubling down on his own arrogance. He truly believes he makes anything better he touches.
I'm glad this man is destroying Twitter.
Yeah 44 billion probably from tax payers.
We need an Elon Musk for RUclips tbh.
its literally up on DAUs, theres 0 competition for twitter and Facebooks clone has already died, this vid is pure cope tbh
I’m glad you like groupthink sayings that illustrate nothing. Fishing for likes are we?
@@mopnem bait catches fish
Blocking is also important because the site is riddled with bots and nasty ads. This coupled with limited tweet viewing makes the app borderline unusable since it counts every tweet/reply you scroll past. But hey, a billionaire manchild throwing a hissy fit because half of the site blocked him is more important.
wait they still have then limits? thats crazy
@@uzirname...and other hilarious jokes you can tell yourself

I think it's very important. It's great comic relief.
@@repentandseekChrist Mouse over a video in the recommended section. Click the three dots. Click "Don't recommend channel".
In Mexico the word X is used to mean meaningless, if someone calls you an X, you are bland and replaceable, like an npc but even more bland, we took it from Algebra, you know, X is the unknown value for the equation. Sadly Elon is obsessed with it.
Thats's what Elon is tho.
What if someone calls you a Z in Mexico?
@@Yeso00 they chop your head off and upload it to twitter in 4k
TBF the concept of a variables like x in algebra is a very useful concept. Not easily replaceable or bland.

I don't understand why he didn't just make his own social media instead of paying that much just to rebrand it
He's a brat. He was born into emerald mine money
Captive audience
I assume it was because buying twitter would also mean buying the users that were already using it. If elon musk made his own platform, probably no one would use it except insane people or diehard elon fans.
@@LasArmas_ Well, obviously. That goes without saying.
@@aether64bit well he bought the site and everyone's leaving it for that exact reason, so... That didn't exactly go according to keikaku.
Respect to Elon for taking charge with single-handedly destroying one of the largest platforms on the internet - he burned down a village to screw in a light bulb, but didn't even fix the lightbulb, instead lighting another fire which destroyed the rest of the kingdom
When you create a twitter account, the app forces you to follow someone. Elon’s account is one of the accounts suggested. All the bots must have been picking him.
Ok that's just funny.
If that's legit the reason it would be the first time i don't feel complete shame about sharing a planet with him.
I think we've gotten more useful data from Elon Musk's management of Twitter than every SpaceX launch combined
Elon stans literally believe he bought Twitter to use it to communicate with the rocket ships he keeps blowing up sometime in the future. He's "playing the long game". The only people dumber than Elon are the people who are still falling for his bullshit in 2023.
it also shows that he likely has very little to do with the actual running of spaceX. No way someone so incompetent is ACTUALLY running a successful aerospace company. He hired very talented people though, I'll give him that much.
@@firstlast6796that’s what a good CEO is supposed to do. Delegation.
So it’s surprising that Musk insists on being hands on with Twitter, because he’s clearly not cut out to micromanage a social media site, just like he isn’t an aerospace company
Mfw people think "space exploration" is real
@@rusi6219 thank you. This is the dumbest thing I'll read today, and its so nice to just get it out of the way first thing in the morning. I can go forward with confidence knowing nothing else I come across will be as mind-numbingly fucking stupid as what you just said. What a gift.
Destroy Twitter any %.
Best thing I've ever seen is the Twitter bird with the X as the eye, implying the death of Twitter and X. Absolutely amazing.
Elon Musk removed the blocking feature because everyone is blocking him

Elon is proving to be quite a failure on every level on this deal. Almost feels like he's a WEF shill.
Always has been.
Yes, it’s definitely not his fault that he’s an imbecile, it’s ze microchip from Davos.
WEF is a boomer tier conspirtard talking point. It’s Jews/Israel. Grow up and get with the program. Literally the only thing still censored on Twitter is Jew talk. The ADL determines who gets banned, the new CEO just sat down with some Jewish group to promise that she’s going to ban all anti-semites. Elon allows for, promotes, and even participates in, the WEF talk. They are 100% comfortable with you talking about Klaus Schwab. They aren’t comfortable with Les Wexner, Jared Kushner, and Jonathan Greenblatt talk.
@@Kuznet609he didn’t found PayPal and he definitely didn’t found OpenAI. He founded a payment platform that was floundering until it was acquired by PayPal, and he got fired from PayPal for being a terrible coworker and desperately pushing for it to be renamed X. With OpenAI, he provided $50 million in seed capital out of a total of $1 billion, and claims he came up with the name. And lastly, Starlink is just satellite internet with the Elon Musk branding slapped onto it to justify being far more expensive than its competitors. Even then, it’s not profitable without government contracts and subsidies, just like Tesla and SpaceX.
Getting your company bought out by a competitor, and investing .5% of the seed capital in a startup is NOT founding a successful company. It’s the same bullshit lies he’s been pulling off for decades, just like how he sued Tesla’s real founders so he could be listed as a “founder”.
My conspiracy brain feels the same but realistically elon musk was never a political intellectual, he has no actual core philosophy.
The block feature on Twitter was more than just hiding anything the block user does, it also prevents the blocked user from even seeing your content (very often, it just leads to the blocked user switching to an alt account).
Twitter also has, a "mute" feature that basically shadowbans the user from your frontend. I believe this one is staying, and it is litterally just like hiding your eyes and closing your ears, so this change might not get "X" banned from the stores.
Mental outlaw is anti Elon. Some of his claims are dubious. Like saying threads probably got a lot of users from threads advertising. It is not really known if that is true and last I heard thread active users have dropped off dramatically.
block is redundant since they can just make a new account
I don't think blocking should hide your content from others. It's encouraged too many malicious actors to block a target and then spread the most vile accusations while being effectively invisible to the victim. Preventing someone from following you or replying to your tweets would already meet every reasonable requirement without doubling as a smoke screen.
@@SethAbercromby You don't want stalkers to be able to see content from people blocking them.
@@ntolmanthis argument is so dumb, people can make new accounts you know
I think my favorite thing in all this was him denying that he wasn’t allowed to remove blocks and the notes correcting him… twice

rebranding it to TwitterX would have a less negative effect
That's what I have been thinking.
TwitterX sounds like an elite version of Twitter, or at least fancy sounding. But we all know that he's inept at coming up with idea...
@@Crown1923DC x ae a-12
I fell bad for all of the people that established a following on Twitter.
Twitter used to be some what useful, but the same probably applied to Facebook at some point, which doesn't anymore for me at least
You fell down bad huh
Because they get paid for their tweets now?
I don't feel bad, they deserve it. Twitter was always a garbage platform. If you tolerate garbage, you get more garbage. People need to have higher standards.
Where were you when twitter was blocking well established conservatives simply because they didn’t like them?
Brand recognition is everything in social media. Facebook, RUclips, Twitter. There’s a reason MySpace still has more of a presence in popular awareness than even more popular modern sites. To throw that away just bc you want to call it X is just so silly
He could have created a separate X app and then integrated Twitter with it, without discarding the Twitter brand. It is utterly idiotic what he has done. If over time the X app became more well known and respected than the Twitter one, then he could consider discarding Twitter at that juncture. To do it rashly as he has done smacks of a God/messiah/perfectionist complex, as if he knows what is best (aesthetically and otherwise) for everyone. Another example is when he had to backtrack from Dark Mode would be the only available option.
@@SMoore-vj7btYeah just like how the company Facebook changed its name to Meta but still keep Facebook as its own entity under the umbrella of Meta.
@@excalibro8365 my latest theory is as follows...wrote this in my prvt discussion group...that Elon probably feels he must rescue the world...
This explains what I mean. Elon is likely against Web3, not cryptocurrency.
Interestingly Elon Musk may not trust that proof-of-stake is decentralized.
Elon seems to be worried about a situation where Meta becomes the dystopian everything app, and he probably does not want to risk some Web3 blockchain project becoming centralized and failing to provide an alternative to Meta.

This man will probably kill Twitter. But if he doesn't, I am genuinely interested to see where he goes with it. I think the community context is genuinely a good idea.
Funny, cause that wasn't his idea as well
congratulations he has one good idea that wasn't even his
He's going to make Twitter like Wechat from China. You can guess where this is going.
@@ColdSensor I don't think so. He might make bad decisions but it's never going to be that censored or filled with that much spyware. That's an unfair claim to make imo.
the only good thing elon did was community notes, everything else he did was purely garbage. also fun fact: he never suspended one of his right-wing friends even tho he posted Cheese Pizza on twitter
It smells like Elon has a huge ego problem
I was thinking that too...in reality Elon Bought Twitter to gain people's attention, gain more reputation, to Be seen as an Alpha, something like that...This is an Extreme case of Narcissism, a person that cannot live without people's Good opinions and praises like Elon Musk
A lot of People are suffering, dying, and experiencing Poverty, while Elon is Busy with his World of fame, and People reffer Him as the "Real Life Iron Man", Like these people (Elon Musk Fans) should wake up Already, Iron Man (Tony Stark) sacrificed Himself to save The World, While Elon is not the "Hero" type that wants to nake a sacrifice to save others, Elon even called a Rescue Diver a "Pedo", How is Elon a Hero anyway?
I regret making Elon Musk as an Inspiration...I don't want to end up as a Narcissistic Person like Elon Musk...
Your nose is too near your arse
This is not a new revelation.
No shit, Sherlock
all billionaires have a huge ego problem.
I guess since I have no followers I must be a bot on Twitter
@@lurch789 I just block and unblock them because I'd rather have no followers than fake followers
@@lurch789I block bots whenever they follow or like my posts. Guess Elon doesn't want that to be possible anymore.
hi hina
The bot problem is even better when you consider that hes now paying people out for engagement/impressions. Freaking hilarious
It's not hilarious it's dumb.
It devalues the meaning of what the checkmark is for and about.
@@TheScepticalThinker I def agree, but it is pretty hilarious imo
They have an algorithm to incentivize people that are making real content such as videos and long form content you also have to be verified to get access. Bots aren’t being paid to spam comments lol.
@@krastinovm thats pure bs what he's doing.
You also can't vote on his polls if you're not subscribed. So much to free speech.
The only real bot on Twitter is him.
@@krastinovm what are you even talking about ? Nobody even suggested bots are being paid. Bots are the engagement/impressions that people are being paid for. And there was literally just a study that 40% of Elons following have no tweets and follow less than 10 people. It's a giant bot fest.
It was only a matter of time. Elon is a genuine fool, and always has been since he was at PayPal. Anyone that expects anything great from him will be disappointed in the end, no doubt.
Paypal was always scummy. I'm not even surprised he was involved in it.
No doubt I'm not disappointed in him, I wanted him to destroy Twitter and he's accomplishing it, and to make it open source, which he at least made some of it open source.
Total slave morality mindset. Elon is a fool because he is successful. How are you measuring his foolishness other than how resentful you’re feeling right now?
@@krastinovmSlave morality lmao. Says the gay that worships wage slavery.
@@krastinovm "successful" yeah right. being born in a rich family with a dad who he inherited the money from while hiring people to do things for him (just so he can take the credit for it) isn't really something i'd consider "his own success" considering that most of the things that made him successful weren't because of his own effort, but rather because he was born with the family that HAD the money and he hired people to do everything for him.
I mean cmon, this is the same guy who seems to be deficent in any programming knowledge whatsoever considering how he made the weird correlation that having shorter code = "no work/effort"
(fun fact: shorter code is more efficent as it saves space/makes things easier to debug) and so he fired the only competent web developers who have worked for the company for YEARS and know more about the site's inner workings than he did.
the only people who work for Twitter under Elon's ownership are either Elon shills or they're foreigners who are on work visas and can't afford to quit because they risk losing their visas and won't be able to remain in the US.
He said he was for freedom of speech but then bans parody accounts. He said he was for privacy then requires phone number and Id.
I might be salty tho because I got my account locked for 19 hours.
I got banned for calling Elon an idiot for attempting to remove the block feature(he can’t take the truth)
He also censored on behalf of the Turkish government during their elections.
I think banning people for non-obvious parody accounts is good. It's too easy to fake a tweet from a politician. Everything else though is just tyranny.
Wait till you read about AU10TIX verifying accounts
parody accounts arent banned

The Twitter bot nets have always been disgustingly nasty. During Stan twitters reign I remember seeing threads of bots jus spamming Kpop hashtags to extend their reach so they could win those cheesy artist awards. Twitter is the reason I first began to believe in the dead internet theory.
plot twist, 5D chess move by Elon to kill the cesspool that was twitter for the betterment of humanity
in that case i hope tiktok is next
Oh yeah! 5D chess move spending in excess of 44 billion to kill Twitter.

But it was like a containment zone. Now all the communists that were imprisoned there are spaced all over the internet.
Thank you for making videos Outlaw
Could have just called it "Twitter by X" and all would've been well 😢

Feel bad for you if seeing someone fail makes you happy. I'm not a fan of Elon, I just don't care about him. What has he ever done to you?
@@williamc9251He's not just failing, he's actively being an a-hole.
Like when he turned off the tech he gave to Ukraine to sabotage them, putting many lives at risk.
Or when he lies constantly about things like wanting to replace his child laborers in his mines (which he hasn't) or wanted to buy Twitter to remove censorship (which he ironically increased but with even more bias).
Or when he kept mistreating workers, causing them to quit in large numbers, which he then blamed on Microsoft for "poaching jobs" (because apparently offering decent job conditions is poaching jobs).
There's also the time when he told Ukranians to just surrender their country to Putin to stop the war...
@@williamc9251 Some people are just so arrogant with it that it kinda makes it worthwile watching them get the reality check they deserve.

What's wrong with having am "everything app" named Twitter? WeChat sounds a lot like a chat app, but people in China obviously get that it's for more than just chatting.
the curious thing is I was watching a program the other way which explained the digital landscape that existed to make wechat a success, doesnt exist anymore. people don't want an everything app, they are content going to amazon to buy things, zoom to video call, etc
im not sure why everyone is so up in arms about elon's destruction of twitter. it was a garbage platform already. i think he's doing us all a service

Removing the block feature is INSANE! I understand it will still be there for DM's but still. That is so stupid!
Everyone should keep calling it 'Twitter' . . . Let's start a massive social media campaign!
I'll surely do that, even though I've never used it, I'll always refer to it as Twitter
everyone should stop using twitter and stop thinking about it
HA-HA!
no i want it to die
I think the reason Elon has so many suspicious looking followers is because when you sign up for a new Twitter account, it gives you a list of recommended users to follow. You'll never guess who's at the very top of the list. With most platforms like Twitter, a lot of people end up making accounts, deciding they don't really like the service very quickly, and deleting the app off their phone. I think this is why so many of Elon's followers look like bots.
When you make a new account on Twitter it makes you follow at least 1 person, and elon is at the top of that list. My guess is a lot of the people who aren't bots probably just followed him at the beginning and didn't unfollow him
can confirm, as Indonesian, my teacher used to block any domain with "x" related to it lol
It's not blocked by the way, and it redirects to Twitter (or should I say X). I've tried it with four providers (IndiHome, Biznet, Telkomsel, & XL). This video is wrong when mentioning this.
"Blocking" is how I managed to survive on Twitter for so long. It's not seeing bad things and going LALALA like a baby, it's just never seeing those things at all and having better mental health because of it.
You are clearly mentally robust and can take a few knocks to your ego but most people aren't and it's shitty to expect them to feel the same way you do.
Elon got sick of blowing up rockets with spaceX for his brother he decided to start doing it to companies with good brand recognition.
"... is not something that many people were expected"
au contraire. anything stupid that elon musk does, is fully expected.
"Grandpa is going to install a hentai app and give himself a stroke"
He will give himself strokes alright.
"he's gonna be installing some hentai app and giving himself a stroke" nice double entendre
i dont understand why elon did this at all. even someone with nearly no business knowledge at all would recognize how valuable the Twitter brand name is, and how horrible "X" would be in comparison. i don't get it.
For the people who are happy about twitter's death, please try to imagine what will replace twitter, and whether we are really heading in a better direction.
Keep in mind that the masses aren't looking for security focused services. They're looking for whatever looks fun and where all their friends are hopping onto.
Mastodon
I mean, good. If a normie is thinking about "security" that probably translates to "trust and moderation council" which means blatant censorship and state-sponsored propoganda which is what twitter was up until Elon got it.
@@thewhitefalcon8539probably not, because people would've started moving to it already, but they didn't(not large scale)
so what? I ignored twitter and I'll ignore whatever the hell that other thing is too. The Internet is way bigger than social media, despite all appearances.
After the rebranding I use twitter/ X less. I only follow some artists there, but now I rarely open the app when I get a notification. The rebranding just kinda killed my excitement for using the app for some reason.
Maybe it's because the old logo and colors looked more fun and more inviting but the rebranding just does not work for me.
Kenny is legit one of the most underrated RUclipsrs full stop. Turbo based frfr
9:34 Fun fact: Overstock now owns the intellectual property that Bed Bath & Beyond previously owned and has rebranded to that.
>blocking equals covering your eyes
No it doesn't blocking on twitter equals covering your eyes and the eyes of the person you blocked.
4:39 Oh im sure grandpa will be having a stroke of sorts...
Nothing better to kill your brand and SEO than rebranding to a single letter.
I thought he wanted "X" to be the everything app, in which case Twitter could just be one part of it.
Bro your vids are awesome
5:54 thats either for the platform to be able to block users, or the mute feature would also count
The social media bubble is bursting
Elon is to tech, as Steven Seagal is to action movies....a pretentious joke.
On the blocking thing at 6:03 , it states they have to be block-able from the service, I assume as in a ban, not necessarily users blocking each other from seeing their posts, I do think that banning people would still be possible and therefore it technically based off wording would not be in breach of apples Ts&Cs
Elon Musk is the classic example of the villain who hides as the nice guy until you figure out who they really are. A bit like the cliche disney betrayal plot twist.
4:53 confirmed “giving himself a stroke” is the most optimal phrasing here
There is a mistake. The digital equivalent of covering your eyes and closing your ears would be the "mute" feature. The "block" feature does that for you and also for the other person.
I kind of agree to the "block" feature being removed but I will be reading the debate over this.
Love your videos, I always watch them!
The block feature being removed is just pro harassment/ stalking and will get twitter banned in Europe period due to not having the most basic user protections.
The block feature is personal. The person being blocked is still visible to other users.
@@bltzcstrnx Of course, what I meant is that blocking someone, is equivalent to covering their eyes and closing their ears to your content. You are not just closing yourself off to their content (that would be the "mute" feature) but you're doing it both ways.
@@samuelbonomo that's awful though, put the muters at massive disadvantage. You can't see someone you mute yet they can still see your contents.
Block being removed is a terrible idea, bots run completely rampant in the site and so does obnoxious advertisement, I don't want those accounts to interact with me, so I block them
Mute still allows people to interact with my account, the purpuse is to not make them able to interact with me.
Can this even backfire? Like, was there any other supposed way for this to fire?
Destroying twitter will go down in history as his greatest contribution to humanity.
Thank you as always 👑
Literally every one of his kids has a name tied to X, it's like the guy never left the 90's.
my grandma still thinks elon makes all of the tesla cars himself and did all of the engineering/software in tesla and space x. i said no he is mostly on twitter nowadays, he just never gave any credit to the thousands of engineers on payroll.
"X corp" sounds like the generic go-to name for any fictional evil corporation
I solely use twitter to follow people/get news and have never posted a single tweet. I reckon there's plenty of people who engage with social media the same way I do.
If those are all the conditions required to be considered a bot then I am a bot.
0:51 That's not Facebook 's "X" logo that's Mixer's logo
yeah lately he has been as bad as some ordinary gamers in terms of getting facts right
@@BooleanDev I mostly blame the site that put out that information
@@BrokenHeart000 eh, he could do a little more research beyond reading headlines
From a business standpoint. I’m making more money on Twitter since he changed it to x. I find people that are having issues with technology and reach out help them fix it. Since he took over the platform I’m finding 2-3 more customers per month than I was on Twitter due to the amount of spam and bot posts
It's like 2 evils that cancel each other out. And it is pretty funny to watch, I am entertained.
I like how twitter started off as a 140 character micro-blogging platform (back when blogs were all the rage in the late 00's) to this site where you give hot takes and people voiced their opinion/drama news in general along with trolls and other people (oh and throw in porn for fun), yeah no wonder that site just became cancer.
i feel like it's becoming very transparent that he's just fucking up everything fully on purpose to try and get out of having to pay back people he owes money for buying Twitter
Who remembers the times when free speech was about being allowed to say whatever you want?
Now it is about forcing everybody else to listen.
All these X’s but I just want mine back 😭 I’m hurting bad bros, she broke my heart.
It's like no one told Elon X means something different _everywhere else in the world._ I was optimistic for about the first month or so after Elon bought it, but my regard sunk like an old party balloon since. It seems Elon only ruins things by having involvement in them.
Yep..he is just starting..soon it will be greater than You Tube..every venture takes time to mature..So far better than the old governmental run Twitter..
Thank God
He fumbled so hard even the libertarians are turning on him now
No the reason Elon has the most followers is because they blocked out lurkers from accessing the site. So we had to finally make an account, when this happens it gives you NO CHOICE but to follow Elon at sign up - you manually have to unfriend him after finishing sign up!

amazing.
Love the Mega 64 throwback lol
I have come up with a special theory, due to my long youtube history. Now, i am starting to think that a substantial portion of all viewers/subs in fact are bots. Larger than anticipated prior. What %? It all depends on if your topic is popular or not, and if your channel is based on it.
It's a bot eat bot world. 🤖
My dude what are you doing here I keep meeting you in comments 😮 remember you from 2k16 csgo.
It's at least 50% on any site. Like minimum. On some sites it's far higher, like 95%.
Sooo many bots lol
You lost me at 00:56. Meta owns a trademark, not patent, on a LOGO. Meta does not own the rights to use the name ‘X’.
I thought this was a worn down topic, but this video actually added to the conversation.
I am one of those accounts that joined immediately after his takeover, have never tweeted, and follow him.
he's trying to get rid of twitter addiction
Well it's working. While I get curious, I haven't went back to X/Twitter in months
Good old Elon. The world's richest manchild
bahaha ahhh it all falls together. wonderful video. keep up the good work
Wild to see how a single letter can cause such a ripple effect in the digital world! There are opportunities on the horizon as well with a potential wechat style app, which hasn't been done yet in the West. The jury is still out! Great content as always
Eh, either he succeeds into making it a successful "everything app", or he destroys the toxic heaping pile of garbage in the process. Either way, it's a net positive for humanity! I'm just enjoying the show LMFAO
We already have a fully customizable and extendable everything app, it's called the operating system.
Twitter’s mute feature satisfies the app stores’ blocking requirements.
