Not that I GARA, because I don't use it, but Ellen has decided to rebrand Twitter as "X". Dumping the bird logo and everything (I wonder who he'll give the bird to).

Apparently, though, Meta holds the rights to the name "X", so I wonder how that will work out. An alliance between Musk and Zuckerberg (Muskerberg)?

Ellen had to pay $44 billion to buy Twitter, and it now has a market capital of something like $15 billion, while losing 50% of its ad revenue. Brilliant businessman. Maybe he can buy FAUX News next.

Remember when this pile of human excrement offered to save those Thai cave kids by sending a sub and a dive expert clowned him to the press, so he called him a pedo in response? :lol: That should have been the end for Musk, arguably the world's most awful person.

I picture, at some point, there being ONE site, where everybody (if they want to use the web -- be part of society) goes to do everything.

Whether or not that site will be X -----> remains to be seen.
