It’s already been noted elsewhere that this will directly violate Apple’s and Google’s app store policies. The X app should be immediately pulled as a result.
A single character app name also violated Apple’s policies until a few weeks ago, so…
Just shows that if you’re rich enough laws, regulations, and even the rules & procedures of private companies need not apply.
True.
Hahah, Google and Apple lack the backbone to do this.
Probably easier just waiting for X to go bankrupt.
Elon Musk has enough money to keep Twitter alive indefinetely.
Yes, but seeing as he didn’t just use his money to buy the damned thing in the first place, why would he do it to save the company now?
Literally look at how much attention it’s getting him!
Never mind the real goal - he’s got an established far reaching platform, he doesn’t care about those leaving it, he cares about those staying, that’s who he’s pandering to - the bigots and the companies openly willing to do business with bigots. And he now has his own media outlet that is aimed directly at them.
People think he’s just some clueless manchild, and while he is the latter, he’s definitely not the former, he knows exactly what he’s doing, and that’s building up an empire to secure his power indefinitely.
It isn’t clear that he does. If he did, he wouldn’t have needed to
dupe::ahem:: “persuade” investors to bankroll his takeover.
I expect you’re right. I hope we’re wrong.
Honestly if you’re still using Twitter, you’re an idiot.
Or a grifter
I agree with with you. I don’t understand why anyone would still want to use this platform considering that their are better alternatives such as Mastadon and BlueSky. Hell even threads is better than twitter and that shit is invasive as fuck.
How do you even get a Blowski account, anyway? I guess they give out invitations, but they’re slow to do it.

Wow. He’s even dumber than I gave him credit for.
With a block feature removed, you too can be absolutely hounded until you are forced to leave the site out of frustration, hopefully leading to an echo chamber circle jerk that kills the service by driving out a massive amount of people.
I honestly could not be happier at how Musk is destroying Twitter as a platform. Think there’s any way to convince him to buy Meta?
I bet the reason is people blocking this attention seeking manbaby
Like, why though?
Easier to harass people and flood the field with right wing non-facts if that content can’t be blocked.
A while back he (Musk) posted that individual blocklists are relatively expensive (cpu wise) to run, which is true. This has been getting much worse with the whole blue check debacle. People are blocking those idiots en masse. I’m fairly sure this is just a cost saving measure.
This is probably why. If douchebags pay to self identify, you can’t have them blocked by 1/3 of your users or they aren’t getting their value.
Lol I guarantee that Elon will continue to block and restrict anyone who calls him out
Elon wants more trolls because it generates views.
Approaching moron zone. Formerly known as “Earth.”
Please consider this in future
I feel like we should have been calling Twitter users “twits” this whole time, because now we could call them “xits”.
