You're telling me I can meet a potential partner, have video calls with them, get scammed out of money, and tweet about how sad I am, all from the same platform? Sign me up.

[-] DarkGamer@kbin.social 20 points 1 year ago

Don't forget about all the right-wing fascist propaganda

And it’s all run by the guy who can’t even handle running twitter when it’s just a social media website. But sure, yeah, if they throw more functions on top of 280 text character posts, with a fraction of the people that ran twitter, I’m sure it’ll be even easier to manage.

It's a bank! It's a dating app! It's a video hosting service, a town square, a shopping mall, a floor wax AND a dessert topping! Why go anywhere else? Just stare at the middle of the big shiny X until it makes sense!

[-] pete@lemmy.world 43 points 1 year ago

Lol, he wants it to be wechat but forgets that everyone uses it because its a government sanctioned monopoly.

No one wants a dating/chat/payment/microbloging/uber app.

Link your ride data to your dating profile? What could go wrong you fucking donkey.

[-] Scrof@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 year ago

Well it's no secret exactly that he's kinda infatuated with China's methods.

Wasn't there a conservative dating app which no women wanted to be on?

[-] TomatoPotato69@lemmy.ca 42 points 1 year ago

Most conservatives I've met, in Alberta, Canada, have giant ball-sacks hanging off their trucks... Somehow I don't think they are looking for women in the first place... Or they are lying to themselves.

[-] HopeOfTheGunblade@kbin.social 61 points 1 year ago

PSA: if your truck didn't come with balls, and you add balls to it, you've done gender affirming treatment.

[-] averagedrunk@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 year ago

I'm getting some rainbow truck nuts and a car bra for my truck. I like to keep folks guessing.

Elon Musk's entire career since his PayPal days has been throwing one horrifyingly bad idea after another to his employees for them to figure out a way to bring into reality, then take credit for all of his employees' work once they somehow realize these idea in order to shamelessly market himself as a tech genius, a "real life Tony Stark", to make his employees realize even more bad ideas. Until his management of Twitter exposed him.

Can't wait to see what kind of trainwreck a dating app designed by a misogynistic thrice-divorced deadbeat manchild would look like.

Elon Musk running a dating app sounds like the biggest dumpster fire in human history.

You know what, actually, go Elon! I wanna see the trainwreck play out.

[-] TheEntity@kbin.social 42 points 1 year ago

We get it Elon, your X has left you.

[-] VantaBrandon@lemmy.world 42 points 1 year ago

So its a bank with video calling where you can also get laid and read right wing misinformation, that is a lot of checked boxes

[-] sunbeam60@lemmy.one 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No. It’s a platform, which can load custom HTML-ish apps, like WeChat (very successful in being a platform) or Telegram (not very successful yet at being a platform).

All Spacebaby is saying is “I have an audience, let’s address it with everything and charge an access fee for companies accessing it”. I very much doubt he sees Twitter creating all these things, just providing a platform that allows others to do so while seeking rent.

He’s imagining the sort of closed off internet like what you see in China. I’m sure the ultimate purpose is that he can censor anyone calling him a Spacebaby. What a Spacebaby!

Can we just pause and think on that? A dating app named X doesn't exactly ring with success.

[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 32 points 1 year ago

blind date app since everyone will be wearing white hoods

[-] peanuts4life@beehaw.org 22 points 1 year ago

I already have an everything app where I can date, do banking, and even use Twitter. It's called Firefox.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 19 points 1 year ago

Awesome! I always wanted to date a nazi. Gimme those white supremacy bitches!

Get ready to smash some puss!

Stop giving this asshole headlines, please.

[-] SuperSpecialNickname@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 year ago

My God, is everything related to Musk worth reporting? What's next, "Breaking news, Musk got out of bed today!" Jesus Christ

[-] NerdyPopRocks@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Elon’s solution to the cyber harassment problem - let’s just make it part of product? What a moron

[-] BlushedPotatoPlayers@sopuli.xyz 16 points 1 year ago

Wait, in the last thread it was a bank

[-] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

He probably wants it to become “the internet”. He likely thinks he can do search better than Google, shopping better than Amazon, social better than Facebook, etc.

[-] mateomaui@reddthat.com 14 points 1 year ago

“X” as a dating app sounds like converting from a pornhub to an escort service.

Didn’t Facebook try that for a while too?

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 1 year ago

Yeah, they pretty much cloned tinder. It wasn't great.

[-] mateomaui@reddthat.com 9 points 1 year ago

Having to swipe left on family members would make it a little different and weird.

Is he throwing darts at a concept map??

[-] pete@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

No, he always wanted it to be wechat but misses the fact that its basically required for Chinese citizens to use.

[-] squiblet@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

it's every app in existence!! That means it will be worth every other app x 10!!

Leak: Elon Musk said he wants X to be a gaming app, too...

Great, would really love to get a preventable STD from a right wing anti-vaxxer

[-] zacher_glachl@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Literally who gives a shit about Twitter at this point.

[-] Jaysyn@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

Did it also want to be a clown car?

If so, good job!
