Genie Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I highly doubt Elon is going to use xvideos on his site (unless he’s going to buy the p0rn site which currently carries the name). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 He's probably 12 hours from trying to get unpaid Twitter users to file countersuits against Disney after he rebrands Twitter employees to X-men. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you highly doubt this? He's rebranded Twitter to X, his ballistic missile company is called Space X, his rival to YouTube is absolutely bound to be called X Video or VIdeo X (A google search of which also brings up Xvideo as the top three searches) Is it that you think he's too stupid to do that? Or is it because he's rebranded the company in a weekend and he's too stupid to have realised the consequences of his actions? Nah he wouldn't be doing that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah he wouldn't be doing that If he calls his videos xvideos then he must be buying the adult site name. Again, it’s pocket change to him so not a major concern. I can’t see him doing half the job when he’s already got to deal with advertisers leaving in their droves. If he’s not buying the url of the adult site then it’ll be some other variation of x and video/stream/clips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post NurembergVillan Posted July 24, 2023 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2023 He's such a whopper that I now want everything he touches to blow up in his face. He's like the human equivalent of Cyril Sneer from The Raccoons. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted July 24, 2023 Administrator Share Posted July 24, 2023 2 hours ago, Genie said: What would he need to have loans to the tune of tens of billions of dollars for? He bought Twitter outright didn’t he (by selling Tesla shares). Forbes are suggesting he worth more than $200b again after Tesla shares have pumped recently. He could quickly and easily raise more money than we could ever dream of if he wanted to (like he did to buy Twitter that he didn’t really want to). He owes $1bn a year in interest on the loans he took to buy twitter. He is worth that, but it doesn't mean that he has any money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Just now, limpid said: He is worth that, but it doesn't mean that he has any money. I’m sure he can’t withdraw all $200,000,000,000 of his worth out of the bank to tomorrow but if he could only put his hands on 0.5% of it quickly it’s still half a billion dollars. He could sell 1% of his Tesla holdings for over a billion dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the liar has done it several times already. Frankly he's lied to investors so many times I'm surprised he's not in jail. I have popcorn waiting for when it all goes pop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Ok, so we replace Twitter with X. What about Tweet? Are there still tweets?! Does anyone know what we call tweets now?!?" I applaud Musk for going even further in undermining confidence in his product. Every time he does something like this, he makes it just that bit more likely that a critical mass of eyeballs sack off his shit product and support competitors instead. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted July 25, 2023 Moderator Share Posted July 25, 2023 So a little history lesson on Musk’s obsession with X and why he may be heading in a direction not previously discussed here before.

You don't have a what account? It's beta behaviour like this he's trying to Xclude. No, I don't have an account either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
