You're telling me I can meet a potential partner, have video calls with them, get scammed out of money, and tweet about how sad I am, all from the same platform? Sign me up.

[-] DarkGamer@kbin.social 21 points 10 months ago

Don't forget about all the right-wing fascist propaganda

It's a bank! It's a dating app! It's a video hosting service, a town square, a shopping mall, a floor wax AND a dessert topping! Why go anywhere else? Just stare at the middle of the big shiny X until it makes sense!

[-] pete@lemmy.world 43 points 10 months ago

Lol, he wants it to be wechat but forgets that everyone uses it because its a government sanctioned monopoly.

No one wants a dating/chat/payment/microbloging/uber app.

Link your ride data to your dating profile? What could go wrong you fucking donkey.

Wasn't there a conservative dating app which no women wanted to be on?

[-] TomatoPotato69@lemmy.ca 39 points 10 months ago

Most conservatives I've met, in Alberta, Canada, have giant ball-sacks hanging off their trucks... Somehow I don't think they are looking for women in the first place... Or they are lying to themselves.

[-] HopeOfTheGunblade@kbin.social 60 points 10 months ago

PSA: if your truck didn't come with balls, and you add balls to it, you've done gender affirming treatment.

[-] averagedrunk@lemmy.ml 18 points 10 months ago

I'm getting some rainbow truck nuts and a car bra for my truck. I like to keep folks guessing.

Elon Musk's entire career since his PayPal days has been throwing one horrifyingly bad idea after another to his employees for them to figure out a way to bring into reality, then take credit for all of his employees' work once they somehow realize these idea in order to shamelessly market himself as a tech genius, a "real life Tony Stark", to make his employees realize even more bad ideas. Until his management of Twitter exposed him.

Can't wait to see what kind of trainwreck a dating app designed by a misogynistic thrice-divorced deadbeat manchild would look like.

Now I want to watch glass onion again.

Elon Musk running a dating app sounds like the biggest dumpster fire in human history.

You know what, actually, go Elon! I wanna see the trainwreck play out.

[-] VantaBrandon@lemmy.world 42 points 10 months ago

So its a bank with video calling where you can also get laid and read right wing misinformation, that is a lot of checked boxes

[-] sunbeam60@lemmy.one 18 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

No. It’s a platform, which can load custom HTML-ish apps, like WeChat (very successful in being a platform) or Telegram (not very successful yet at being a platform).

All Spacebaby is saying is “I have an audience, let’s address it with everything and charge an access fee for companies accessing it”. I very much doubt he sees Twitter creating all these things, just providing a platform that allows others to do so while seeking rent.

He’s imagining the sort of closed off internet like what you see in China. I’m sure the ultimate purpose is that he can censor anyone calling him a Spacebaby. What a Spacebaby!

'X' the little check boxes

[-] TheEntity@kbin.social 41 points 10 months ago

We get it Elon, your X has left you.

[-] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 39 points 10 months ago

Can we just pause and think on that? A dating app named X doesn't exactly ring with success.

blind date app since everyone will be wearing white hoods

[-] mateomaui@reddthat.com 27 points 10 months ago
[-] peanuts4life@beehaw.org 23 points 10 months ago

I already have an everything app where I can date, do banking, and even use Twitter. It's called Firefox.

[-] SuperSpecialNickname@lemmy.ml 20 points 10 months ago

My God, is everything related to Musk worth reporting? What's next, "Breaking news, Musk got out of bed today!" Jesus Christ

[-] CaptainHowdy@lemm.ee 19 points 10 months ago

Stop giving this asshole headlines, please.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 19 points 10 months ago

Awesome! I always wanted to date a nazi. Gimme those white supremacy bitches!

Changes profile pic to confederate flag

Get ready to smash some puss!

Elon’s solution to the cyber harassment problem - let’s just make it part of product? What a moron

[-] BlushedPotatoPlayers@sopuli.xyz 16 points 10 months ago

Wait, in the last thread it was a bank

[-] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago

He probably wants it to become “the internet”. He likely thinks he can do search better than Google, shopping better than Amazon, social better than Facebook, etc.

[-] mateomaui@reddthat.com 15 points 10 months ago

“X” as a dating app sounds like converting from a pornhub to an escort service.

Imagine what’s going through those poor software engineer's minds when this fuck stick opens his mouth.

[-] HairHeel@programming.dev 13 points 10 months ago

Didn’t Facebook try that for a while too?

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 10 months ago

Yeah, they pretty much cloned tinder. It wasn't great.

[-] mateomaui@reddthat.com 9 points 10 months ago

Having to swipe left on family members would make it a little different and weird.

[-] 8BitRoadTrip@lemm.ee 13 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Is he throwing darts at a concept map??

[-] squiblet@kbin.social 8 points 10 months ago

it's every app in existence!! That means it will be worth every other app x 10!!

[-] pete@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

No, he always wanted it to be wechat but misses the fact that its basically required for Chinese citizens to use.

Leak: Elon Musk said he wants X to be a gaming app, too...

[-] Auzy@beehaw.org 9 points 10 months ago

Great, would really love to get a preventable STD from a right wing anti-vaxxer

“Hey, baby, Elon Musk says we should fuck.”

Did it also want to be a clown car?

If so, good job!
