X user “super pissed” that Musk ordered takeover of his @music account
X user quits paying for Twitter Blue to protest X commandeering his account.

My favorite part:
But while his reaction the day after learning that X was commandeering his handle was extreme frustration, Vaught told Ars that the platform will remain his primary form of social media.
"it's highly annoying, but Twitter is still my preferred social media," Vaught said. "That's how I communicate and learn my news about what's going on. Nothing else compares."
His only "minor protest" to X's action, he said, was to cancel his Twitter Blue subscription.
Vaught is mostly a Musk fan, as he's interested in Musk's electric cars and space developments. He said that this experience with X hasn't tainted his opinion of Musk or his relationship too much with X as a platform. He's holding out hope that Musk has a long-term plan for where Musk is taking X, but like many users, he's struggling to adjust to the rebranding.
Musk screws him over and yet he continues to use the service?
People are so stupid these days.
This is the new rightwing fan base. It's cucks all the way down.
the alt-right movement is like an abusive relationship, made up of a bunch of very insecure people constantly seeking approval from an abuser who doles it out with an equal amount of degradation, keeping them confused and isolated enough that they have no choice but to keep coming back because - after having driven everyone else away with their hateful rhetoric - the abusive alt-right is now their only source of “community” at all.
it’s a cult.

Ah, so he's an idiot. Well that explains his statements.

So am I. But the guy is an idiot. SpaceX in particular is successful because he isn't the person running the day-to-day operations.
he sounds like a person in an abusive relationship.
"yeah, he hits me sometimes, but Jimmy's a good guy y'all! just need to give him a chance, besides... all my stuff is there, where would I even live?".
"He took my name from me, I'm not allowed to be called by my name anymore. But its ok, I still love him."
he's literally the 'This Is Fine' meme.
Some people like the abuse
Thank you Elon, may I have another?
What stockholm syndrome does to a mf..
This is the best summary I could come up with:
"16 years ago, I created @music and have been running it ever since," Jeremy Vaught, director of engineering at the nonprofit Life Happens, posted on X.
But Vaught never had the time to focus on leveraging the @music audience, only ever benefiting from the account when companies occasionally sent him free perks like headphones in trade for promotions.
Vaught said he was never interested because he knew that selling his handle violated Twitter's terms of service, and he figured there was more value in keeping the account.
To "minimize any inconvenience" from having his account handle taken away, X defaulted to changing Vaught's username to @musicfan, which he described as "probably the least worst" alternative the platform suggested.
But while his reaction the day after learning that X was commandeering his handle was extreme frustration, Vaught told Ars that the platform will remain his primary form of social media.
"Twitter's not dead to me at this point," Vaught told Ars, even if "it's a super huge bummer" to lose the @music account.
I'm a bot and I'm open source!
great bot!
Actually a useful bot!
If that doesn't taint his idea of Musk, then nothing will.
My only thought (plausable excuse) is that he is possibly sucking up while expressing discontent under the false pretense maybe Musk will pay him losses. Whether he likes him or not, he should know someone thay disagrees with him will not get paid but rather sued for existing.
This is hilarious.
twitter*
Look you say "X user" and im thinking X11 Windowing system. Stop trying to make X happen.
Hahahaha this dude is such a little bitch about it. It's honestly adorable.
Musky simp lol.
“I know he’s crushing my throat with his boot, but he sure does have nice boots, doesn’t he?”
Apparently have never heard of Mastadon
Sorry, only interested in Muskodon
Until Mastadon becomes the go-to for news orgs, governments, and public figures, it won't be a true Twitter replacement
X gonna give it to ya and X gonna take it away from ya
The good X doth give it to ya, and the X he doth take it from ya
He deserves Musk.
Leopards ate my face :(
I am a bit annoyed that the leopard has eaten my face but not enough to move away from the leopard or do anything at all.
Not true, they did something to stop the leopard face-eating, they stopped giving the leopard money! Take that leopard!
Except he's thanking the leopard. Crazy stuff
"WITNESS ME, LEOPARD!!!" - that dude
“Twitter’s not dead to me at this point,”
At this point I'm cheering Musk on.
Anyone who is still on
TwitterXXX deserves this.Darwin approved
Should have never stopped calling it twitter, if only to annoy the muskrat And the URL is still twitter too
If Musky was half the genius he thinks he is he never would've tried to change the name. Everyone know the name Twitter. Freakin world leaders send out "tweets" to their followers; the brand recognition has to be extremely valuable right?
He bought the company and is apparently doing everything in his power to fuck it up. He's either stupid or this is all part of some illuminati-type plan and he's playing kal-toh.
Tweet literally got a word in the dictionary, no other company has that kind of brand recognition
It just shows how detached billiknares cam actually be, he ruined arguably the most recognizable social brand that ever existed
What's the top three worst things Musk has done? I don't really follow celebrity news so I'm a bit confused about why everyone seems to hate him all of a sudden. I'm genuinely asking
IMO: —
-
Being a very shitty boss
-
Being transphobic when he has a trans daughter
-
Calling that rescuer a paedophile
did we forget about his sexual misconduct? the thing that when came out, kinda triggered him to buy twitter?
-
Well he's clearly a jerk who doesn't know when he should just stay silent but I guess this can partly be explained by the fact that he obviously has some form of autism/asberger or something.
I just don't see anything that major in there. I can think of several worse people who don't seem to be getting this level of hate so I find it curious what it is about Musk then that he does.
