Good thing he left Bluesky to go back to X, the free speech app.

[–] MolecularCactus1324@lemmy.world 176 points 5 days ago (3 children)

The guy had the option to sell like $1 billion of his ownership stake in Twitter when Musk bought it, but instead left it in. He also supported the Musk takeover. Guy is a fool.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 112 points 5 days ago

Despite everything, he’s a tech bro first.

[–] betternotbigger@lemmy.world 25 points 5 days ago (1 children)

No one remembers the brief stint to leap frog Web3 with Web5? I'm so tired of these tech bros.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 7 points 5 days ago

Ah, the old Winamp gambit.

[–] Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Wait he owns that many shares and he still got banned?

[–] vga@sopuli.xyz 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

If that figure of $1 billion is correct, that's just 1/44 ownership. Hardly a portion that allows one to control anything operative.

"Co-founder and former CEO of Twitter, Inc. from 2015 to 2021" for context

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 78 points 5 days ago (1 children)

X gonna give it to ya (it being a temporary suspension)

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago (2 children)

That's good but I'm concerned since I'm currently unable to pick it up on my own. Is this standing offer that I can take advantage of at a later date?

[–] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Fuck waitin' for you t'get it on y'own X gon' delivery it to ya!

It being an authoritarian regime.

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Well that's convenient. We should probably plan the minor details out tho.

Things like

  1. my doorbell being broken due to a wiring issue. We should establish a plan to know of the arrival and confirm it's authentic.

  2. will he require down time after his arrival to rest before we discuss things? I could set up a room

  3. what should I expect him to bring so I can make sure space is available for his necessities?

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Pic it up wuss. SMH, these cats done forgot what work is.

[–] europeanfan122@lemm.ee 57 points 5 days ago (2 children)

X might be the worst platform on the internet.

[–] 5parky@lemmy.world 37 points 5 days ago

With reddit eating X's ass on the highway to insignificance.

[–] Sixtyforce@sh.itjust.works 13 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Basically 8chan but with advertisers for some reason.

The advertisers get bullied into advertising. Elmo sues any company that doesn't advertise on X.

[–] Sixtyforce@sh.itjust.works 33 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Glad he's not involved with BlueSky anymore. Reap what you sow, fuckwad.

[–] CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works 19 points 4 days ago

100%. Everyone talks a lot of shit about Musk and how he runs X, but Dorsey was doing the dirty work of authoritarians before that and censoring people on Twitter constantly. A non-trivial amount of Twitter staff came right out of the alphabet agencies.

X is not special, the mask is just off now.

Here is the archived link. If they're famous, archive it please. Rule 6

https://archive.is/UajMJ

[–] BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one 10 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

Nah, I don't give a fuck about famous people, and you shouldn't either.

They're simply just regular humans who happen to make more money than you, and that's not enough value for me to pay attention.

Archiving this shit is a waste of drive space.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 95 points 5 days ago (2 children)

It's not because I care about what they say, it's so that we don't have misquotes and people fighting over that shit. Also, no one wants to go to x directly to see the link. We're saving the users of this community and not giving them any traffic.

[–] BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one 22 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Valid reasoning.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

what method do you recommend to use to archive it?

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 days ago

Go to archive.is and put in the link. This is only for famous people or a political figure. If someone is just commenting on the state of things or whatever, it doesn't really matter.

[–] count_dongulus@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

They don't make the money, they take the money.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 28 points 5 days ago

You may need to perform additional tasks to resume using X

"You know what to do. On your knees before Elon."

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 25 points 5 days ago (1 children)

What did he say that got him banned, does anyone know?

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 22 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Probably didn't personally thank Trum and Musk today or something.

[–] suite403@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

I bet he claimed to have founded Twitter. Can't be spreading propaganda on X after all.

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 14 points 5 days ago (1 children)
[–] tischbier@feddit.org 34 points 5 days ago

Co-founder and former CEO of Twitter. So, kind of like: the chiX have come home to twit

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Sidenote: what the hell is primal.net???

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 14 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Looks like a Nostr instance? Nostr is kinda like Mastodon but not using ActivityPub. To my knowledge Nostr is not blockchain related but it is exclusively used by cryptobros.

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

I understood mostly conjunctions and adverbs.

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

LOL as I was typing it I thought to myself "Ten years ago nobody alive would have any clue WTF this could possibly mean."

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Warm welcome from the past.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 12 points 5 days ago
[–] faizalr@fedia.io 11 points 5 days ago

The founder?
