Twitter users shocked after Musk announces buyout!
Ғылым және технология
X is all atwitter after Musk announces buyout! Since Elon Musk has taken over as the head of Twitter, he's led the company into uncharted territory. He has transformed one of the world's most popular social media platforms with an open API and a limited spam problem into a bastion of online free speech. What was once a proverbial town square of public discourse has become a platform littered with bots promoting Russian propaganda, gore, and other not-safe-for-work.

"You have the right to free speach, not free retractions, you coward." 🤣🤣🤣
I do agree with the renaming to Xtreme. You don't want to be considered Feminine, do you?
Knowing Elon, he'd probably take this joke video as inspiration
Good one
The best joke: X Premium will be renamed to Xtreme, because we are a strong masculine company. Hahahaha... I laughed so hard :D
Thanks for the joke. T was pro alt-right in Spain X even more if possible, I used Mastodon, but I prefer real people interaction than virtual one. I do not understand why pro FOSS people are not also pro FEDIVERSE almost always.
I blame tired brain for this, someone had just mentioned falling for an April Fools joke at work before watching this video. So when I started watching the video and heard the announcement, I knew it was joke, but didn't think about it being an 4-1 joke. So when it kept going on, my tired brain is like "wait what?"and then realized we weren't getting any steam deck news....
I panicked until I remembered that it is April Fool's.
April's fool!
This is hilarious. I thought it was going to be just another cringey AFD video, but it was full of great laughs. Thanks! I got in on the AFD announcements today too, by publishing a new flashlight firmware with the most highly-requested feature -- dark mode! Having lots of fun with the community.
Neurolink is mandatory for twitter employees
The only date I never forget is the one of today. 😅
Great video. Didn't watch it cause of the title. The topic is why...
The title card had me 😅, but 30 seconds into the video I did a mental date check and knew where this was going. 🤣
forgot it was april fools till i got fooled xD thanks man have a good day xD
Happy April Fools Day everybody!
Chefs kiss, my man!
Does this mean twitter will finally be compatible with Linux?
Pretty good April Fool's.
Feels like "You have the right to free speech, but not to be heard". In some ways not new, but with Musk on the volume controls...
Dammit, i thought i was going to avoid all of these this year. Oh well, maybe next year 😎🖖llap
Oh and thank you for the April fools Video.
It took me all of a second to understand what day it was since I literally just woke up and the moment you said your company, it clicked. Well played. Very funny video. I look forward to the latest steam os build that adds doge mining background tasks and does away with the silly linux distribution that replaces it with the far superior joint venture between EA and Ubisoft called doors OS. Finally, a true competitor to windows. Remember, at EA and Ubisoft, we own your games so you don’t have to. Happy April 1st lol
Wouldn't that be cool! Happy Easter! =D
You bastard. I wasn’t awake yet.
Honestly, this would be so funny.
You legit had me fooled all the way up to the AI stuff.
Oh man I got kinda excited. Nice get. I was got.
why did I bother... when you work nights you never know what day it is...
April First!
I was about to comment on a mean comment, it was hard because I used to be deeply in love with you. Thank God I heard the April joke thing
I wanna call it Dystopian Realism… it’s a very edgy genre. PS love the post, I was like ? Then I was like oh right it’s April Fools Day. And I just sat back and enjoyed the video.
Hahaha!!! 😂😂😂!!! April Fools!!!
I wish someone buy it from him because I been suspended for talking about pay to play games and boom suspended all year . I want it back
Elon bad

😔😔

Nice April Fools video
Hehehe, love it mate. By the way, he's actually transformed twitter into an incredible achievement known as cesspit squared.
Lmao
Musk made some big mistakes, like hiring a former WEF-woman as the CEO. But we can't deny that Twitter now does less censorship (not no censorship) than before Musk owned it, that is a good thing.

Three things: if a corporation talks about freedom, then run as fast as you can. It's a marketing line used to sell dangerous products (tobacco, cars, social media). Musk is a corporation. He "censors" even more than Twitter did. And there's an argument to be made that his "censorship" is actually classifiable as censorship where Twitter's was not.
