Is it because the majority of headlines are dunking on him?

emmerlord.com•517 days ago

I think he wants to force news outlets to put the bulk of the article in the tweet itself to keep people on the site, what they'll probably do is put the headline in the embed if twitter/x

I was wondering where that beef was

wajk.bsky.social•517 days ago

He is such a retard 🫠

Als Substantiv ist das Wort im britischen Englisch eine Beleidigung für behinderte Menschen.

Oh my god that’s hilarious. And very very sad.

His lenders want a word

At some point I imagine they'll step in simply because they're losing money, right? Right???

russellengland.bsky.social•517 days ago

Yeah, in the Reuters article in the post above:

"If things deteriorate further, the company’s bankers - already nursing billions in on-paper losses - face the prospect of taking back the keys to a diminished platform that is worth less than even their claim on it"

ijio.bsky.social•517 days ago

Oh, my bad, I didn't realize there was an article in there. I've caught the stupid from Elon Musk!

russellengland.bsky.social•517 days ago

No worries at all :) It doesn't seem to display the article in the quote post

devin-eleven.bsky.social•517 days ago

It's beautiful😄

gremisch.bsky.social•517 days ago

I was wondering where the beef was and I have to say that's further away than I hoped

alistaircoleman.bsky.social•517 days ago

Fine reference work.

jennyrohn.bsky.social•517 days ago

This sure is the basis for a rather splendid drinking game

allo2003.bsky.social•517 days ago

X and all subjects around it doesnt have to be import here…it s brand new here and don t want to be splashed idiots subjects like that

meryemd.bsky.social•517 days ago

Is that just outside of the EU? Because I still see the headlines.

diejanki.bsky.social•517 days ago

I only see the pictures, no headlines. Might not be fully implemented, or they roll it out in batches.

meryemd.bsky.social•517 days ago

Do you have android or ios?

diejanki.bsky.social•517 days ago

iOS

meryemd.bsky.social•517 days ago

Ich hab android, vielleicht liegt es daran

HERE'S THE BEEF

“Walking is hard” is hilarious. I’d still click it.

murdochargh.bsky.social•517 days ago

It’s insanity. One of the best feature of social media like Twitter and Blue Sky is immediate access to articles. It’s most of the reason I use these.

trueseadog.bsky.social•517 days ago

He is a fucking genius.

cheezopath.bsky.social•517 days ago

I assume some webdevs are deseprately making a twitter embed-only visible element that is just the headline duplicated in order to fool this new system

selectinvert.xyz•517 days ago

It doesn't even look like a clickable link!

Glorious.

sleepingcheugy.bsky.social•517 days ago

I was just reading an article about his harebrained changes and how he'd announced this and it never happened but thank goodness what a bad idea so I bet he saw the article and said "bet" because he's a toddler

thegreatwooly.bsky.social•517 days ago

Twitter, the everything app, making sure that articles are indistinguishable at a glance from vague shitposts. Next we’re going to remove any indication that videos are actually videos until you play them.

damonspencer.bsky.social•517 days ago

I can't think of a more sure-fire way of driving engagement down. Bravo, genius.
