That's an exremly shitty thing to do. I don't know how anyone can still be behind this company..
If I owned it, I'd definitely be behind it.
@nottheengineer I don't own it, and am still behind it.
It'd be a lot cooler if you weren't
@Anomandaris You know what sarcasm is?
C'mon bro, it's 2023, if I have to tell you that sarcasm is difficult to determine through text then that's your fault, not mine.
@Anomandaris No. Its your fault not mine. It's apparent from the context I replied to. Think before you reply.
Your sarcasm was not well done. Do better next time.
Context didn’t help you, I also presumed you supported X. Just use tone indicators to avoid any confusion. it’s two characters for “/s”. Little cringe todo initially but it helps ppl and avoids confusion.
Unfortunately, no. If you were relying on it’s absurdity to make it look like sarcasm, you were unfortunately indistinguishable from a Musk fanboi
If you don't put an /s at the end, SpongeBob case it, or stretch syllables in words it's not sarcasm. Learn to Internet.
The ratio says otherwise.
While I agree, no one should be behind this shit company, it's quite a standard thing to do.
Literally every social media platform has the ability to reset a users username so they can free it up. It happens all the time.
Are you famous enough? Cool, contact any company about taking over the username "Jake" and they'll give you it. Doesn't matter that the other dudes name is Jake. Doesn't matter they had it first. Doesn't matter that it isn't a trademarked name.
Just look at what happened to Jake from state farm. They even took the man's khakis.
It didn’t work for Beyoncé. She tried to take the brand, Blu Ivy off an Australian company so her daughter could have it. Australia said get fucked.
An American wedding planner also had the name, and America told Beyoncé to get fucked too.
You don't have a legal right to demand it.
But the platform can just give it to you as they see fit.
It is but that is who Musk is.
It's not really that shitty in context with Musk's everyday doings. I'm honestly not surprised at all.
If this was the worst of him, I'd be able to handle it (even though it indeed is a shitty thing to do and devalues Twitter handles [which is imo actually a good thing]).
Speaking of his everyday doings. Has anyone investigated all those underage illegal migrant children he has in his bathroom shower? Or was that just a rumor started on "the app formerly known as twitter"?
