Now Musk is saying if Apple and Google block Twitter on their app stores, presumably for failure to moderate hate speech and for safety, he will just create a new phone.
So it’s going well, right?
Now Musk is saying if Apple and Google block Twitter on their app stores, presumably for failure to moderate hate speech and for safety, he will just create a new phone. So it’s going well, right? @georgetakei can't see a lot of people ditching their iPhones and Androids just for a Twitter phone... but then, I'm not a genius billionaire. It won't be going as well as I, for one, had hoped, until the phone he invents catches on fire like a Tesla car battery (oops, maybe I should have said like a Samsung Galaxy 7?) --Proud owner of a Galaxy 8 @georgetakei Musk and another prospect of a product line with a high potential for catching fire. What could go wrong? 😂 @georgetakei Has anyone ever seen Musk and Trump in the same room? I'm starting to think they're the same person. This Caligula of social media is emberassing himself. I wonder how long it takes for him to hit mental breakdown... @georgetakei I keep recommending: go to the #Apple #AppStore and go to the #Google #PlayStore and #REPORT the #Twitter app. At the Play store there is a link for an "inappropriate" app. Click it and fill in the checkbox for "hateful or abusive content". Let's get the app removed! (And Numskoel doesn't realize you can read his dying bird with your phone's browser? He thinks he has to make a special phone?????) @chemoelectric @georgetakei IIANM a surprisingly large number of people don't realize that they can see Twitter via a normal browser. My mother used to be one of them. @georgetakei If he uses Android, he loses. If he goes with a custom OS, he still loses. :blobcatrainbow: @georgetakei https://medium.com/@eileentran2480/the-failure-of-the-twitter-peek-45809fc88e2b @georgetakei he could call it ”Phony”. It’s like a pet name for phone. A little phony-phone. 😌 @georgetakei If it was going well I wouldn't have needed to make this. @georgetakei Nobody came to the fedi so they could listen to people like you talk about twitter and such all day and night. @georgetakei @georgetakei Off to Mars to solve that problem, whip up a new smartphone to bypass 'censorship' - easy peasy 😂😂 @georgetakei How did that work out for the con artist who got a bunch of fascist idiots to hawk his "freedom" phone? @georgetakei there's trouble at the Foxconn factory in China today, iPhone is making Xi Jinping look bad. maybe Space Karen can work a deal through that crack? he's not at all against slavery, could be a great match. @georgetakei @georgetakei man oh man sounds like Musk is going through a proper douchification process. @georgetakei @georgetakei Musk thinks he’s a Musketeer of free speech but he’s really just a generic rich guy Musktake @georgetakei Because there's not a long rich history of companies that failed to make a phone successful. Facebook being a prime example. I welcome his next effort to spend $44b on nothing. @georgetakei - let him…. It will be as successful as the ESPN phone… https://www.vice.com/en/article/53vvg3/the-embarrassing-failure-that-made-espn-a-mobile-juggernaut @georgetakei Building a phone not because it makes good business sense but because he was ego was bruised by Apple and Google. @georgetakei I can't wait for him to blow another batch of billions of dollars on an instant fail device. :D @georgetakei if it’s anything like his cars the price will be extortionate and there’s a good chance it wil explode in your pocket. No thanks space con man. 👋 @georgetakei I'd say it's going marvelously well! I look forward to Musk making a new phone with all the success of Trump making a new Twitter. 🤣 @georgetakei i miss having a library of gifs to pull from so I can share a hearty laugh of agreement! @georgetakei The Fuck in this idea is the possibility to invent a Starlink Smartphone without local mobile-servives. The next fuck in this is the madness of this freak, it's not far away from a combination of Woz and Steve in one asshole... 🙈🙈🙈 Don't believe the hype... @georgetakei And the people who will buy this phone are basically "TruthSocial" subscribers - so the whole exercise accomplishes what, other than chaos that is worth billions to someone at this time ? @georgetakei afaik there have been rumors about a Tesla phone for some time now. It is supposed to feature starling. But there are no credible sources so war don't know. So all of this might just be some marketing buzz @georgetakei We're witnessing how blinding ego & drive for the adoration of the hate and vile is sending a billionaire to his ruin. He will through all the money he has access to at this obsession and end up with nothing. @georgetakei remember the “Freedom Phone”? Neither do most people, it launched to much acclaim as an iPhone alternative for conservative. https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/freedom-phone-the-ultimate-political-tool-and-why-you-should-avoid-it/ @georgetakei will he be using it to phone the mother ship to come pick him up, please? He’s overstayed his welcome and I’m afraid he’s gonna pee on the carpet.(Also, thanks for pinning how to get here!) @georgetakei I suggested that Elon's phone be called The Boring Phone. Within an hour, the tweet was shadowbanned. @georgetakei I won’t lie, I did report Twitter to App Store when I left siting the lack of content moderation. Linking to some of the more… colourful tweets I had been subjected to that week. @georgetakei 😂 He really is that clueless, spoiled, alien child that kidnapped your whole crew on TOS. @georgetakei Mania, George. Read 2 minute summary at this .gov link. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29630220/ @georgetakei i bet he is gonna have a full mental meltdown sooner or later (the one with those jackets closing in the back) @georgetakei Little does he know how hard it is to market an entirely new ecosystem. @georgetakei By the time the phone comes out,the bird has the flu,Tesla will instantaneously combust and Space X will home in on Twitter HD @georgetakei Keeping in mind the success he’s having with Twitter, I am not sure what makes him think he can compete with the likes of Apple and Google. Especially since he’s been so well received by the dev community. @georgetakei as someone who's worked at a mobile carrier for 27 years, I cordially invite him to go ahead. If he's really going to create a NEW phone, we're not going to hear from him for a number of years. @georgetakei Apple & Google: we don't need to participate in your Terms of Service fiasco Don't they already have the high security risk "Freedom Phone" for the conservative that wants China reading all their data? @georgetakei IMHO in the right wing mindset they think they're 'triggering the libs' so therefore according to their own twisted logic they're 'winning' however when it all crashes and burns they will then sit around blaming everyone but themselves for why their 'triggering the libs' business model failed in the real world. Elon is what one would describe as 'terminally online' - believing that people outside his small army of sycophants have an interest in his theatrics. @georgetakei Wonder if it will only cost $8 and come with it's own custom colored checkmark 😅 @georgetakei ... and THEN I'll build my own phone network, HA! ... my roads will be much better, there won't be so many rules to follow ... I've got my own island now, nobody can stop me... welcome to Mars! @georgetakei I wonder if he's actually dumb enough to go from world's richest man to broke. I mean, is that even a thing in capitalism? @georgetakei Let's hope they wise up and see what this platform has become. A heaping pile of doo doo with a site of entrails. If i were them i would of kicked them off the minute elon took over but hey, that's just me. My fault for giving a billionaire idiot the benefit of the doubt, turns out everything we thought he would be was true huh? @georgetakei Musk just want to keep monetize his personal cult, these over 100 million people who still follow him on Twitter? Or he want monetize that MAGA crowd? Sounds not too inspiring and not too sustainable, even from pure capitalistic point of view. @georgetakei making a web app would be a lot cheaper and a much more reasonable use of his time… but he’s a whacko, so there’s that. @georgetakei Musk really does think he is smarter than the engineers. Fools and their money are soon parted. |
@georgetakei O........k.
