tifosi77's thread of Musk

[shafnutz05]

It erases twitter as a utility.

But cool, it’s his dumb website and he can do what he wants.

Right. It's a stupid policy and any person, business, government department, etc. would be better off deleting their account, ceasing ads, and putting that investment into other places anyway

You can’t use the site as an official communication channel.

Microsoft Ads stopped supporting Twitter, which made $12 billion last year.

That above exchange does not make "City of New York" or "NYCGov" look bad. It makes Twitter look bad.

Ehhh. The correct answer is C, all of the above

in fact I don’t understand why they both don’t have blue check marks

It's always been a pile of ****. I'm happy to see Elon rubbing it all over his body like an asylum patient.

[NTP66]

He'll bankrupt Twitter and then blame former ownership and libs, and all of his fanboys will be like

*slobber slobber*

They also disabled sharing to Twitter from Xbox because they stopped paying for the API.

Twitter CEO Elon Musk apparently isn't happy about Microsoft's decision. Responding to a post about the news, Musk asserted that Microsoft has "illegally" used Twitter data to train AI models and that he plans to take legal action.

"Lawsuit time," Musk wrote.

Musk's legal threat conflates three of his current projects. One is to push more Twitter users—be they companies or individuals—to pay subscription fees to use the service. The second is to keep advertisers on Twitter, preserving a major revenue stream while subscription revenues are still relatively low. The third is an ongoing pushback against recent advancements in generative AI models, particularly those developed by Microsoft partner OpenAI (Musk served as a co-chair when OpenAI was founded in 2015 but resigned from its board in 2018, citing a "conflict of interest" with Tesla's self-driving AI efforts).

lol, good luck with the lawsuit, manbaby.

[Troy Loney]

Oh yeah, Musk is taking down the wokeacracy by suing Microsoft, the communist, multitrillion dollar company.

[Morkle]

Dude's just losing money like mad right now on Twitter.

[MR25]

Tell me your idea backfired without telling me your idea backfired

[Morkle]

I'd be curious to see how many random puds also pay now to be verified. Seeing some journalists around Pittsburgh buy their way in lol.

[meow]

Owning the libs is expensive, eh musky?

[NTP66]

Cost him $20b so far.

[DigitalGypsy66]

This guy is like Three Year Letterman, right? Some sort of troll/joke account?

[meow]

Interesting little bit of legal trouble musky may have brought upon himself by “sponsoring” the $8 blue check mark to celebrities.

Under Section 43(a) of the Lanham Act, false endorsement occurs when a person's identity is connected with a product or service in such a way that consumers are likely to be misled about that person's sponsorship or approval of the product or service.

Hope so, otherwise that person is just pathetic. Musk fanboys are just as sad and lonely as pissbaby cultists.

[Shyster]

Lonely maybe, but Musk fans are happy people. Just look at all of these Musk fanboys:

I want to see the reaction of it blowing up.
