X is officially worth less than half of what Elon Musk paid for it

A year after he bought Twitter for $44 billion, Musk thinks the company is now worth $19 billion, a 55 percent drop.

Let's recap what he did to Twitter, I will go first:

  • Changed the original name Twitter to X.

The worst thing he did was change the name. I mean, everyone knew twitter. Now you have to qualify it with "Musk's X"

I just call it Twitter.

Now it's shitterβ„’.

i believe the full name is

β€œthe company formerly known as Twitter aka Birdsite, Xitter pronounced Shitter aka X”

While true, I prefer not to dedicate the time to Musk it'd take to type that out.

...also, the guy deliberately misgenders his kid and gets upset when people mislabel the platform he's burning to the ground, so do with that what you will.

"X, the social networking website formerly known as Twitter".

Maybe we should call it TSNWFKAT, like Prince did for a bit.

So close to having NSFW in it. What a shame.

And he wants to make it a Everything app, thats terrible
