Musk made CCP happy

Traegert ,

South park called that years ago

Annoyed_Crabby ,

There’s no such thing as deadnaming a company/corporation/brand, they aren’t a living entity and have no will of their own, the one offended is their owner.

Jumuta ,

except they get more rights

Ensign_Crab ,

And yet Elon’s mad that everyone still calls the platform he’s managed to actually make worse “twitter”.

I’m fine with offending Musk by calling his precious website Twitter. Aren’t you?

Annoyed_Crabby ,

It isn’t exactly dead naming, of course i’ll happily do it. I did it for multiple other corporation that change hand and name, i’ll still call the name that i used to call it, confusing the younger generation is a plus, offending the CEO is the goal.

Sure, it isn’t really deadnaming, but if you want to offend him, saying it is deadnaming will also help.

Lightor ,

You’d be rightfully surprised.

Dude literally bought Kleenex and insists you call it facial tissue paper.

nickwitha_k ,

Nah. He bought Kleenex and insists that you call it 42 because it’s a cool number.

Annoyed_Crabby ,

He’ll call it Nexes

x.org

gravitas_deficiency ,

I’m gonna deadname his company for as long as he deadnames his kid :)

moon ,

X is still such a stupid fucking name. I feel cringe saying that.

InternetUser2012 ,

I won’t. It will always be twitter, and he bought it because people made fun of him.

frunch ,

As long as twitter.com redirects there, it’s twitter 👐

agreed, this is how i think of it

HawlSera , (edited )

He offered to buy it as a joke, and was forced to finish the transaction because he had taken it too far by actually signing contracts and putting money down. He was gonna go “Just kidding” and pull out, but then the courts told him that this already constituted a legally binding sell and if he tried to back out now he’d go to jail for fraud.

orphiebaby ,

That sounds like the courts are fucking stupid and ill-prepared to do their jobs.

uis ,

X11 is such a great name. Imagine instead of x.com opening x.org.

moon ,

I always just hear it referred to as xorg, which I pronounce “x-org”

I pronounce it “the 2nd best windowing system currently used by GNU/Linux users”

saltesc ,

It’s very “hacking, trenchcoats, and Muse are cool” isn’t it?

Like, yeah. Obviously this guy thought of it… https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/20b8cfea-bd2d-445f-b94e-99aac9a5310f.jpeg

yemmly ,

What did Muse do to deserve this?

brambc ,

I want to know but am afraid to search for it… I liked Muse but havent lept up with their recent works.

mjhelto ,

Other than Matthew banging all the models and the bassist getting help for alcoholism, I don’t know of any other news, other than they are fuckin rad!

TrickDacy ,
@TrickDacy@lemmy.world avatar

I will absolutely not call it anything but twitter

Tylerdurdon ,

I was following various folks on there but never much posted.

Then, a couple weeks ago they implemented some kind of “live” feature that started spamming notifications like crazy. The only way to disable it was to disable user notifications, which means Twitter went totally quiet for me.

I’ve checked in a couple times in the interim, but looks like I’m pretty much done with that app. I guess it was Elon’s next step on the path to destroying Twitter.

Corporations are not people. They do not have a sense of identity. They do not deserve the same rights as humans. They are not capable of being affected by things like gender dysphoria. A corporation does not have feelings and is only a word we use to describe a collective form of actions made by ACTUAL humans.

You literally can not deadname a company. But Elon should understand the hypocrisy none the less.

Lightor ,

I agree with you, but then there’s this, which is silly.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_personhood

SurfinBird ,

Can we call it Twix

helpImTrappedOnline ,

No, thats a candy bar. Love it or hate it, there’s no need drag a candy bar’s name into this shit.

Aurenkin ,

Is it a candy bar…or is it two candy bars?

Since they’re two for me and none for you, I’d say two, but masquerading as one.
