You can read more about the new feature in this blog post. I wonder who will pick “relaxed?”
You’ll also be able to sort by “most recent” and “most engaged with,” according to a screenshot from X designer Andrea Conway.
The Twitter owner — who we can only assume is entirely, 100 percent, without a doubt, entirely serious about a cage match with Mark Zuckerberg — made several statements about the proposed cage match on Sunday.
Ignore whether or not SpaceX has a permit for discharging wastewater from its most recent rocket test; instead, stay tuned to find out if the billionaire who is “lifting weights throughout the day” will have a doctor’s note for opting out of the proposed August 26th date.
The program that can’t make its payments on time has a new name, as highlighted in Elon Musk’s tweet from last night. Also, the official handle for the account has changed to @Premium.
Unlike several other handles X has hijacked from users in its rebranding push, like @Sports and @Music, it’s unclear if anyone was using this one until now. The most recent use shown in the Internet Archive is a spammy “premium brands news” account in 2015.
The owner of the @music handle on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, says that X unceremoniously took over the username Thursday. The old @music account has been moved to @musicfan.
X also took the @X handle from its former owner last week.
Twitter, or X as it’s currently being rebranded, now has live broadcasts again. Elon Musk posted on X to confirm that “live video now works reasonably well,” months after the “8-Bit Elon” test stream in May. It marks a return of the Twitter live broadcast feature after it disappeared following the shutdown of Periscope in 2021.
Nine months after taking over the company that was once known as Twitter, Elon Musk has sued and been sued a lot. Add AFP to the long list of plaintiffs. The French press agency has filed a copyright lawsuit accusing X of ignoring its obligations stemming from the national copyright law.
France requires platforms such as X to enter discussions with publishers seeking remuneration for distributing news. Google previously refused to comply but was forced to pay €500 million in 2021 by the French competition authority. Musk has called it “bizarre” to “pay *them* for traffic to their site where they make advertising revenue and we don’t”.
Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee keep saying they’re investigating “collusion” between the Biden administration and Big Tech to “censor” conservatives, but they’re starting to act more like an Elon Musk fan club than anything else.
On top of investigating the Federal Trade Commission’s investigation into Musk’s Twitter takeover, they’re now going after the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) for its role in this “censorship regime.”
Musk, of course, sued CCDH just two days ago, accusing the non-profit of unlawfully accessing Twitter data and cherry-picking posts to make the platform look more hateful than it is.
