dojan, I’m so sad x.com wasn’t an xcom fansite already. Would’ve loved to see him fume over it not being available.
fearout, It was his in the 00s and he bought it back in 2017, as some article mentioned earlier.
SJ0, I think Musk is just living out his 90s/2000s edgelord fantasy. “I AM THE OWNER OF X. X IS EVERYTHING… TO THE XTREME!”
bloopernova, Holy shit, he’s the boneitis guy from Futurama!
briongloid,
ultratiem, xBender isn’t wrong tho
waigl, In fairness, DNS entries do get cached for a while (usually 24 hours), so you might have gotten a stale version of the resource record. It’s even entirely possible that whatever DNS resolver Musk uses did have the up to date version already while yours did not.
Still, Twitter should double and triple checked that this works even from other resolvers before announcing it like this.
db2, Twitter didn’t announce it, Twit did.
waigl, Right, the head twit, the one who “doesn’t need” to ever consult with domain experts from his own companies, because he “knows” he’s right about everything anyway…
zahel, Replacing a notable, at this point ingrained part of modern internet culture, to the letter “X” LMAO. Elon just doing whatever to stay in the headlines.
massive_bereavement, Plus short searches are harder, specially with single letters.
bloopernova, muskrat probably read an email that said “we’ll go live with x pointing to twitter, but there’s a couple of things that have to happen first.”
And only read the “x pointing to twitter” part.
db2, Implying he can read…
Im_Cool_I_Promise, Seems like it goes to .twitter.com now, which my browser refuses to load because of the . in front of it
mateomaui, LOL, same here! He can’t even forward a domain correctly.
bloopernova, The clown music continues to get louder and louder.
bloopernova, X X baby, dun dun dun dudu dun dun Now twitter’s X X baby
ultratiem, Your fiver profile said you could do this bro! Ok try now. Nope! Now? Bro. Ok hold up, lemme search Google right quick.
itsnotlupus, He literally just fixed it, and he learned nothing from this, Dunning-Kruger as strong as always.
TrenchcoatFullofBats, OF COURSE he uses GoDaddy
waigl, Not necessarily, more like GoDaddy was the domain swatter that was holding on to that domain until Musk decided to pay the ransom. We cannot tell from the screenshot what registrar he uses for that domain now.
We can, however, tell from whois, and what do you know, it’s godaddy…
briongloid, I took the screenshot in the just hour, at the same time as the tweet.
djsaskdja, He bought the domain from PayPal I think
briongloid, It’s almost like a sitcom.
ellesper, a sit.com, if you will
briongloid, Let that sink.com in
yiliu, …How did we make it through the 00’s without a sit.com?
caboclo, right?!
caboclo, right?!
jeffw, Next he just has to register s.com, e.com, and y.com so that he can make the Tesla joke all over again!
