Walked right into this one, didn't he?

[-] khannie@lemmy.world 146 points 11 months ago

In fairness the setup was absolutely beautiful. She's some woman for the zingers.

[-] ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world 136 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] Jaysyn@kbin.social 188 points 11 months ago

What a fucking narcissist.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 75 points 11 months ago

She was definitely talking about Elongated, but probably had that comeback planned ahead of time.

[-] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 42 points 11 months ago

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?

I bet that toasted his buns. His ego is at critical mass.

[-] Rubisco@slrpnk.net 41 points 11 months ago

Once someone explained it to him.

So vain he probably thinnks this xeet is about him.

I assume xeet is the new word for tweet.

[-] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 41 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I'm a fan of Xcretion

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago

I like xit too though. It just works better. Xitter, folks all xitting. If it’s a good xit they can say it’s popping.

"it's an x! You send X's on X!"

-Elon, probably.

[-] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 27 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] Lightor@lemmy.world 29 points 11 months ago

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.

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.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 72 points 11 months ago

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.

You don't need to be a hacker to edit an image...

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.

[-] BillyTheSkidMark@lemm.ee 131 points 11 months ago

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".

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 43 points 11 months ago

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?

Hooray for AOC telling it like it is, and getting under Elon Musks' pimply oily hide. She knows exactly what she's doing.

[-] Talaraine@kbin.social 40 points 11 months ago

Man I really needed that laugh this morning lol

[-] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 36 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 27 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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

[-] TomMasz@lemmy.world 34 points 11 months ago

Any armchair psychologists care to weigh in on Elmo?

[-] Restaldt@lemmy.world 47 points 11 months ago

Money rots brains

[-] Fedop@slrpnk.net 19 points 11 months ago

Honestly, I think it's that simple.
