You send X's on X!" -Elon, probably. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago (5 children) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] Lightor@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago I like to make jokes about how people might say X fucked them, and their current partner leaving them for cheating. permalink fedilink source parent [–] frezik@midwest.social 14 points 2 years ago (1 child) The company redefined a word in the space of less than a decade. Huge marketing success when you pull that off. Elon just couldn't let go of his old idea from the PayPal days that the rest of the board back then told him was a bad idea. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] exocrinous@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago Elon just really likes naming things X. Including his son. permalink fedilink source parent [–] waz@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago It's a bit of a forced joke, but whenever possible, I like to use "X-crete" as the verb to replace "tweet". permalink fedilink source parent
