I love how everyone still calls them Facebook. It's the simple things.
This highlights how deep the BS surrounding Musk has burrowed into the media scape. They invariably refer to his companies as "Elon Musks Tesla" or "Elon Musks Twitter" and so on. Where other billionaire's (for the most part) avoid the limelight and their companies stand seperate to their idiotic personal choices.
I am Elon Musk's throbbing need for attention.
His name is X Æ A-12 Paulsen
“Fucker’s settin’ up franchises”
I say “Elon Musk’s Twitter” like would I say “Joel Schumacher’s Batman” — to identify it as the worst version of the thing.
Here's his prequels
Elon Musks failed Solar City
Elon Musks failed Boring Company
Elon Musks failed Hyperloop
Boring and Hyperloop were successful, they were meant to divert local governments from pursuing viable public transportation projects.
Unfortunately Boring and the hyperloop were wins for him. The goal was to get cities to continue using cars.
Nothing makes me happier than deadnaming a corporation

I dont care how long it has been or how persistent you are. It's fucking Comcast Xfinity sounds like the subtitle to a terrible Sci-fi movie from the 80s
"You'll always be Union Carbide to me"
Lol the tweet I found this article from referred to it as Meta. nah.
I like how you still call it a tweet. I hope tweet, tweeting and twitter remain the lexicon for X forever.
I X'ed about it last night.
Tweet and Retweet are now Post and Repost 😭
More like eXcrete, and eXhibit.
Twitter and tweeting where such well established and creative words, which set Twitter apart. I loved the analogy to birds. And Elon just throws all of that away...
You can still toot on Mastodon at least
Loxodon flatulence best flatulence
Yeah but you posted it as Facebook. You're doing good.
the local telephone service here has seen several owners and even more name changes in the last couple decades. i still call it by the company name it had in the 90s.
Stadiums get like too.
Going to catch the game at the T-Moble Samsung SL17 this weekend?
Uhh
