Twitter

"[I] got an email basically saying they are taking it," Hwang told Mashable in an email exchange.

The ABC is shutting down almost all of its official accounts on Twitter – now known as X under Elon Musk’s ownership – citing “toxic interactions”, cost and better interaction with ABC content on other social media platforms.

When Elon Musk announced that Twitter would become X—a “one-stop-shop” for finance and social media—many commentators were surprised. The idea seemed to come from nowhere. For those familiar with Musk’s history, however, both the name and the idea would have sounded familiar.

In person Elon is oddly charming and he’s genuinely funny. He also has personality quirks like telling the same stories and jokes over and over. The challenge is his personality and demeanor can turn on a dime going from excited to angry. Since it was hard to read what mood he might be in and what his reaction would be to any...

Jako że nie mam Twittera Blue i mieć nie zamierzam, tym bardziej po tym, o czym przeczytacie w niniejszym tekście, dosyć szybko została mi zablokowana możliwość korzystania z Twittera. Wiedziona ciekawością, wolny czas poświęciłam zatem temu, co do tej pory zaniedbałam, mianowicie poszukiwaniu odpowiedzi,...

In today's #vatniksoup, I'll introduce a South African-American(!) businessman and social media figure, Elon Musk (@elonmusk). He's best-known for being the wealthiest man in the world, running Tesla Inc., SpaceX & Twitter, and for parroting Kremlin's propaganda narratives.

From May 14th, 2023, but still spot on....

[...] that’s not how any of this works. At all. If the ADL is convincing advertisers not to advertise on exTwitter, that’s their free speech in the marketplace of ideas. And if that speech caused advertisers to bail, that means that Elon is losing in the marketplace of ideas. If you actually believe in free speech, you...

Musk’s public persona is an important marketing tool. Consider his appearance on Saturday Night Live: Tesla didn’t have to run advertisements because Musk is so closely associated with the brand that the entire episode functions as a car commercial. Meanwhile, every other EV maker bought ad time. You can think of Musk as the...

"My hypothesis is that, while the terminally-online are entirely aware of Twitter's rebrand to X, most consumers aren't," Seufert wrote in a post that accompanied his findings, "and their searches for 'Twitter' on platform stores surface ads and genuine search results that are in no way redolent of Twitter."

To get a better sense of how researchers are currently interacting with the site formerly known as Twitter, Nature reached out to more than 170,000 scientists who were, or still are, users; nearly 9,200 responded. More than half reported that they have reduced the time they spend on the platform in the past six months and just...

Users who clicked a link on Musk’s website, now called X, for one of the targeted websites were made to wait about five seconds before seeing the page, according to tests conducted Tuesday by The Washington Post....

Twitter has finally changed its app name to 'X' on the App Store. This is likely an exception by Apple, which forbids single character names.

Musk is the loser’s winner — a charlatan that is able to make unfathomable amounts of money despite being nakedly full of shit, using his massive fame and fortune to test society and the markets’ limits. He believes he can get away with anything because he always has, other than one major exception — Twitter.

Lawyers say the letter X may be too generic to trademark — and hundreds of companies are already using it.

In a series of late-night tweets Saturday, Musk shared that the company’s famous bird logo and name would soon be no more. The company, it seems, will simply be known as “X.”...

On its best day, July 7, Threads had more than 49 million daily active users on Android, worldwide, according to Similarweb estimates. That’s about 45% of the usage of Twitter, which had more than 109 million active Android users that day....

Threads offers brands and celebrities a Twitter alternative with deep ties to Instagram, an app that isn't fun either.

During Threads' first two days online, Twitter traffic dropped by 5 percent compared to the same two days in the prior week, web analytics firm SimilarWeb reported. When measuring year over year, Twitter's traffic dropped by 11 percent.
