Elon Musk says it's his turn to have the remote

[Xitter] just announced a smart TV app for streaming video. Or, more accurately, that it claims it’s building one, with absolutely no launch date mentioned. The appropriately-named [Xitter] TV wants to be “your go-to companion for a high-quality, immersive entertainment experience on a larger screen.”

MonkderDritte,

Musk probably wanted to create something like WeChat, so that he has all the power.

Cqrd,

He’s blatantly stated as much before. He wants Twitter to be the everything app, the WeChat of the US

With all his meddling it’s not even the Twitter of the US anymore

Telodzrum,

He’s been saying it since the 90s. His “X App” is just the latest iteration of his want to create an all-encompassing “X” platform for everything from dating to banking.

Is it going to be called xvideos?

mPony,

the only massive pile of wank in that equation would be Elon.

Shitter TV. Only spelled differently.

Ah, yes , the XTV, just like porn, but the one getting fucked is you!

beefbot,

unsubscribe elon musk

Buffalox,

Yeah that probably works about as well as unsubscribing from cat facts.

Brokkr,

How is the X in xitter pronounced? Is it “sh” like in Xi? This seems to fit this time line, but it would be nice to have confirmation.

retrieval4558,

In my head, it’s more like Zitter

Buffalox,

Yes Sh sound is absolutely what is generally meant. Making it shitter.

spearz,

Is a tweet now a sheet…on the shitter?

Buffalox,

That would make sense. 😋

RGB3x3,

That’s how I use it. And it works.

Justin on MBMBAM recently talked about a “Xeet” instead of a tweet, pronounced “Zeet” and I thought that was also hilarious.

English is a descriptive language instead of prescriptive, so make it happen!

NeoNachtwaechter,

We are back at “Elon says” posts :-(

Buffalox, (edited )

Yeah, because he is funny, and he is probably the person who knows most about production living on earth today.
I like how he is modest enough to acknowledge there might be aliens that know more than him. /s

Buffalox,

Yeah lol it’s crazy, but he actually said that., except I didn’t get the wording 100% right, he didn’t even say “probably”:

helpImTrappedOnline,

Your /s wasn’t not big enough, I got you

/s

Buffalox,

I don’t think you are riled up enough considering the importance of the issue. /s

beefbot,

You made some giant deal about Musk odor being shunted to the business section but here this is. BARELY qualified as tech news because IT’S HIM. He’s nothing but futureware & farts.

PUT EVERYTHING MUSK INTO YOUR BUSINESS SECTION SO WE DON’T GOTTA FUUUICKIN SEE IT. CHRIST

In 12 months when he gets called on it by debtors (since Shitter has no shareholders) he’ll try to buy Pluto TV and claim that was the plan the whole time.

mindbleach,

“Elon Musk, founder of Twitch.tv…”

Substance_P,

Xitter, nice name, sounds like an adolescent skin condition.

Ostrichgrif,

I always mentally read that as “shitter”

Mbourgon,

That’s the goal. (Unsure of sarcasm)

RGB3x3,

If it looks like a joke and sounds like a joke, it’s probably made by Elon Musk.

ClusterBomb,
@ClusterBomb@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Either that, or it’s an actual joke.

Danterious,

No those don’t exist anymore.

olutukko,

I’m going to call it “coughshitter” because that’s what it sounds like

skymtf,

Let me guess, the streaming services on it will be like DailyWire+, PragerU. What else

bitchkat,

He didn’t get the Twitter app for Roku when he bought them? I remember having to install that app to watch some NFL game or something.

He should do more of them, actually.

Haha yes very good

sugar_in_your_tea,

k hole

Being so high on ketamine that you experience an intense detachment from reality.

jeffw,

Mostly ketamine

Quetzalcutlass,

A smart TV app from the guy who pulled Disney channels from the Tesla app due to a bruised ego over a Twitter argument? I can’t wait for this to crash and burn.
