Just recently noticed I can't click on embedded videos on tweets

Normally they would just load on whatever site/page I'm on and they'd play

Now they pop up in a new tab and play there

Just a hilariously bad end user experience

Thank you lord musk

Are there any famous chuds named Alfred or something? So we can trick Elon that he would really own the libs if he named his new AI Al in his honor?

Maybe Elon's twitter account is already being run by BasedAI and (lacking access to any kind of conventional weapons) it's trying to kill us all via second hand embarrassment?

Surely that picture was created in the hope that Senpai Elon would steal it? It's like the perfect Elon bait, it's his exact lame sense of humor and it's fluffing his sense of importance as a powerful thinker and memer.

I do like that his one attempt to actually make a meme (the spider-man IRA one) he couldn't even be bothered to go to a meme template website that puts your text on the pictures

He really is a 50 something year old man trying to be a cool kid

Goddamn, he is so loving lame !! That meme would be a lot funnier if instead of a dog, it was a giant dick and pair of testicles. He's so bad at this. Oh wait, I forgot he didn't make it himself. Never mind. Good job stealing some stupid poo poo eloin. It's what you're good at.

Weelon! where are we at with basic AI?

You're kidding me. You said you were looking into it! Have you done anything besides Twitter yourself the past few days? time is money! Bing AI is eating our lunch right now!

Yes, I saw the doge meme. Look, Elon, whether your "meme game is strong" is beside the point here. Your meme game doesn't pay the bills. KKKai does. If we don't have a fully-functioning chatbot fawning over Hitler and shouting racial slurs into the void by next week, the Mercers are going to have my nuts in a vice!

It worked on me. When I saw Elon's face, I instinctively went to punch my monitor, but my hand slipped and I bought $24,000 of titcoin.

hold on I just got an email containing an "important message about your titcoin account". I'd better look into this....

At least the people deepfaking Elon to make it sound like he's talking about Bionicle and Overwatch or who his favorite My Little Pony was are succeeding in making him sound like a human being, which is more than actual Elon can muster.

I swear at one time the “read the rest of the conversation on Twitter” with the users avatar next to it meant there were more tweets in the thread by the same person.

Lately I click it’s all replies.

lol isn’t Musk like a decade late to the game? Don’t most creators make the big bucks from actual direct advertising deals with actual businesses, merch sales, Patreon and Twitch subscriptions, etc.

You can still certainly make money from ad sales but Twitter’s actual engagement is dog poo poo from memory so…

Edit: The only creators I can think of that actively benefit from Twitter are fanartists so I guess Musk wants to bleed more money to attract creators that were already on the platform?

Yeah, with twitter ad sales way down, and musk just generally being incredibly cheap, it's highly unlikely most, even "successful" "creators" will see more than a dollar or two a year from this, if that. Make it hard for people to actually get that cash to their bank accounts as well, and a lot of people may not even bother redeeming it if it's just a few cents or what not.

usually platforms won't let you cash out small amounts at all, e.g. for youtube you need to make $100 before you can get any of it

I'd be surprised if you can cash out at all. At best it'll be some scam cryptocurrency that you can sell at a shady exchange. Most likely it'll just be Twitter Coins you can use to pay for the monthly sub or give emoji stickers to other users or whatever.

E: can you imagine new Twitter complying with international tax laws and providing tax forms and poo poo? No way, not happening. There will be no real money involved.

Also the idea of handing your personal and banking info over to a notoriously insecure platform that has repeatedly just given user data to second rate “journalists”, and where employees can even read your private messages, seems like an insanely bad idea.
