I’m sure this won’t end up being a huge deal, but the funny part is that this apparently wasn’t planned for. Gives you some insight into how much of a shit show Twitter/X HQ must be right now.

I think it's fait to just call it Twitter and not "x" or "twitter/x" or "x social" or "Twitter but actually x"

X will never stick 😅

It was cool in the 90s like i in front of a word was cool in the 00/10s. That was his era.

Leaded gas just started being phased out in the US in 1973 was still in use in the 80s was didn’t stop entirely until 1996. South Africa didn’t ban it until sometime between 2002 and 2006. It’s often used in reference to boomers, but gen x was also affected, even millennials to a lesser degree.

Leaded gas can be used even today by some small propellor planes. I know about leaded gas, but what does that have to do with what I said? If leaded gas was the reason Musk is the way he is, everybody in older generations would be like him.
