[Xitter] just announced a smart TV app for streaming video. Or, more accurately, that it claims it's building one, with absolutely no launch date mentioned. The appropriately-named [Xitter] TV wants to be “your go-to companion for a high-quality, immersive entertainment experience on a larger screen.”

Is it going to be called xvideos?

[-] mPony@lemmy.world 18 points 7 months ago

the only massive pile of wank in that equation would be Elon.

[-] Emptiness@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

Shitter TV. Only spelled differently.

[-] Justas@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 months ago

Ah, yes , the XTV, just like porn, but the one getting fucked is you!

[-] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 91 points 7 months ago

If it looks like a joke and sounds like a joke, it's probably made by Elon Musk.

I'm just here to watch Phony Stark continue to light money on fire.

[-] cloudless@lemmy.cafe 42 points 7 months ago

The only X button I need is the close button.

Get ready for new shows starring Ben Shapiro and Gina Carano, or whatever right wing loser they manage to attract.

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

No, the Daily Liar is already trying to push into mass entertainment. It's more likely to have Fucker Carlson and Alex "I need money to pay my civil judgements for my lies about Sandy Hook" Jones.

[-] SteefLem@lemmy.world 29 points 7 months ago

That guy should stop doing….well ALL the drugs.

[-] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 7 months ago

He should do more of them, actually.

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Mostly ketamine

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 21 points 7 months ago

Please, do anything fucking useful with your vast amounts of wealth. Anything.

[-] VaultBoyNewVegas@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

Skydiving without a parachute would be my first choice.

[-] beefbot 4 points 7 months ago

Agree, but for human tǔrds of his size I think you gotta bait his ego, like challenge him that he’s too much of a “pedo guy” to donate to the ACLU or something 🤷‍♂️

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

In 12 months when he gets called on it by debtors (since Shitter has no shareholders) he'll try to buy Pluto TV and claim that was the plan the whole time.

[-] retrieval4558@mander.xyz 19 points 7 months ago

20$ says that this never actually happens in a meaningful way.

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 18 points 7 months ago

$44b says your probably right

[-] Hildegarde@lemmy.world 18 points 7 months ago

Imagine being so entrepreneurial that you think you need to buy twitter for way more than its worth in order to develop an app that does something entirely unrelated.

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 16 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Musk is all over the place lately, claiming his Xai bots are doing practical work in the factory already, and will be ready for mass deployment "next year", Which ought to be his nick name now. "Next year Musk".
He also claimed a few days ago that robo-taxis were only months away.
New model cars from Tesla planned to arrive next year, should be moved up to arrive this year instead.
The man must be desperate or on coke or probably both, he has always over-promised and under delivered, but these latest promises are over the top even for him.

Noo that can't be it, he has said it's prescribed and only a low dosis. /s
Whatever he is on, I definitely don't want it, seems he is getting more and more crazy.

[-] pivot_root@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

Every time he says "this year" or "next year," it's at least 4 years away. He's so full of shit that even his internal clock stinks.

[-] Bartsbigbugbag@lemmy.ml 8 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Fully functional robotic taxis are already here, they’re just not made by western companies. It’s doubtful musks will ever work at this point, his “fully-automated self-driving” is vaporware.

How is the X in xitter pronounced? Is it "sh" like in Xi? This seems to fit this time line, but it would be nice to have confirmation.

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

Yes Sh sound is absolutely what is generally meant. Making it shitter.

English is a descriptive language instead of prescriptive, so make it happen!

[-] retrieval4558@mander.xyz 4 points 7 months ago

In my head, it's more like Zitter

A smart TV app from the guy who pulled Disney channels from the Tesla app due to a bruised ego over a Twitter argument? I can't wait for this to crash and burn.

[-] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 10 points 7 months ago

Musk probably wanted to create something like WeChat, so that he has all the power.

[-] Cqrd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 7 months ago

He's blatantly stated as much before. He wants Twitter to be the everything app, the WeChat of the US

[-] JackiesFridge@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago

With all his meddling it's not even the Twitter of the US anymore

[-] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

your go-to companion for a high-quality, immersive entertainment experience on a larger screen.

Propaganda app full of right wing video, fox news, Russia Today and the TikTok channel.

[-] beefbot 7 points 7 months ago

You made some giant deal about Musk odor being shunted to the business section but here this is. BARELY qualified as tech news because IT’S HIM. He’s nothing but futureware & farts.

PUT EVERYTHING MUSK INTO YOUR BUSINESS SECTION SO WE DON’T GOTTA FUUUICKIN SEE IT. CHRIST

[-] Gingerlegs@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Please god no

[-] Substance_P@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Xitter, nice name, sounds like an adolescent skin condition.

[-] Ostrichgrif@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

I always mentally read that as "shitter"

[-] Mbourgon@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

That’s the goal. (Unsure of sarcasm)

[-] skymtf@pricefield.org 5 points 7 months ago

Let me guess, the streaming services on it will be like DailyWire+, PragerU. What else

[-] 1hitsong@lemmy.ml 4 points 7 months ago

Great... Now we'll need to make another client team in Jellyfin 😆
