Elon, honey, what are you doin'?
(lemmy.zip)
Walked right into this one, didn't he?
In fairness the setup was absolutely beautiful. She's some woman for the zingers.
Well, the setup worked for whichever side chimed in. Elon never stood a chance. The fact that she was describing multiple people is truely terrifying. But I guess that's her point.
What a fucking narcissist.
She was definitely talking about Elongated, but probably had that comeback planned ahead of time.
It's everyone's dream come true - when the comebacks you think up in the shower or before going to bed actually get to be used
Hasn't AOC been involved in institutional debates about Meta for a long while now?

So vain he probably thinnks this xeet is about him.
I assume xeet is the new word for tweet.
"it's an x! You send X's on X!"
-Elon, probably.
In a recent interview this came up, and the best word be said he could come up with was post, but he was hoping for something better.
I don't think they'll ever get something good like tweeting on twitter. X is terrible for that.
By every metric it's horrible. Searching for the term, using it as a verb and noun, ease of saying it in a sentence, recognition, as a logo, color scheme, the fact that X sounds a lot like ex as in something I previously engaged in but no longer do (irony) . I mean I could go on and on.
I refuse to believe no one told him how poor of an idea it is, I think he just has too much money to be able to listen to others.

It's honestly really gross that he immediately jumps to thinking she's hitting on him. Like, him freaking out and going into a fit of rage might have been a less terrible response.
I assume he doesn't really think that, but thinks he's being a cute troll. Like picking 420.69 for everything.
Trying to deflect assumed criticism about him by being "funny".
Musk sent the funniest response he could possibly think of.
Remember middle school?
NO I WON’T MAKE OUT WITH YOU!
Or was that elementary?

Is there a place to verify these posts are real without actually touching Twitter (currently known as Elon Musk's X)? I see there's blue checkmarks on them but I have a feeling a really cleaver hacker could fake those in an image.
Here’s my Nitter search with some filters:
The iPhone let me copy that text out of the image (fastest way was to screenshot and then hold my finger on the text in the screenshot preview). I then tapped “look up” and DuckDuckGo found articles about the exchange. But for less popular Tweets, Nitter should work.
I don't know of any service that verifies tweets, but this one is real: https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-aoc-stop-hitting-on-me-tweet-mark-zuckerberg-2022-4
You don't need to be a hacker to edit an image...
Or just use inspect element on a Twitter post and change it.
Shut up let me live my dream as a Photoshop hacker!!

Man I really needed that laugh this morning lol
Does Zuck hang out with Tucker & Thiel also? It wouldn’t surprise me, but I hadn’t heard about it…not to the extent that Elon does, anyway.
I assume anyone in silicon valley with two commas has hung out with Thiel at some point. He was one of the earliest investors in FB
Any armchair psychologists care to weigh in on Elmo?
Stop attributing the name of one of the most beloved, friendly and wonderful muppets to ever exist, and who provided countless people decades of joy to that fucking shit stain Elongated Muskrat.

But why are they still supporting platforms run by billionaires? It's so easy to talk, theorize and posture as this revolutionary figure. But when it comes down to giving up one single convenience, people freak out. I don't know if I can take these people seriously.
She was one of the first high profile people on blue sky so it's not for not trying. Even this criticism though reads a bit like "You dislike capitalism and yet you participate in it." You can criticise what you partake in, why not?
That's not the same though? We can't stop participating in Capitalism right now. But we can easily stop using Twitter as far as I'm aware. You will not die if you stop using a website. I am not saying don't participate in social media of any kind. I am saying if you can't even stop using a website because it clashes with every value you have, then what chance is there that you'll give up something even greater for the sake of the greater good? Your analogy can be used to justify not making any kind of change ever because it inconveniences us.
As someone who does grassroots campaigning, I’m not sure she can. She needs to reach out wherever her audience is.
Yeah really. I can stop using Twitter because nobody gives a shit about me. My thoughts have 0 impact.
Companies and figures can't simply ignore the platform and remain competitive.

😂
Wait is this real?
I wish he would step away from twitter and focus more on improving rockets and electric cars. Twitter seems like a big distraction.
The only reason the rockets are any good is because he occupies himself with Twitter. I've heard that both Tesla and Space X have people whose sole job is to keep Musk from fucking up the projects and companies.
The amount of actual software improvements made to my Tesla since he started focusing on X has been record high (something as simple as getting automatic highlights and wipers finally working for example).
Please keep the madman occupied with his social media failure and away from everything that actually matters!
Do you really think, based on the decisions he’s made regarding Twitter, that he would have any beneficial effect on Tesla or SpaceX by focusing on them?
Tesla engineers reported productivity improving after he bought Twitter because he wasn't around anymore...
