Pretty funny, X’s pivot to video was supposed to start with a talk show Elon greenlit, with Elon as the first interview guest.
He didn’t like the questions — so cancelled the show.
The producers are moving the episode to YouTube instead.
YouTube have released the Elon Musk interview that Elon Musk paid for. It’s cringey stuff, includes Elon basically threatening the interviewer for asking him questions about stuff he did. https://www.theverge.com/2024/3/18/24104708/elon-musk-interview-don-lemon-show-canceled
Youtube but with 10000% more MAGA and Nazi bullshit? Brought by the same fucker who ruined twitter??
Sign me the fuck up
@ralfmaximus @GossiTheDog Isn’t that just Youtube after you watch one medieval armor restoration video and all of your suggestions suddenly become “Modern Chivalry: Impossible Due to Feminism, Globalism, or Both?”
@GossiTheDog Your Samsung TV is now just AI-generated Deepfake Porn of Joe Rogan, 24/7.
@GossiTheDog I bet it'll still have ads though.
@GossiTheDog Or.. Tons of stolen content, I bet may of the worst people are ripping stuff of from YouTube and hoping they get to cash out before the platform burns.
@GossiTheDog If the App is called "X-Tube" I would expect pr0n
@GossiTheDog All Tucker, all day.
@GossiTheDog LOL. Wait til they realise how hard it is to run a video platform properly. If they run it themselves they'll definitely fail as elon won't have the patience or compassion, if they outsource it they'll bankrupt the company.
Popcorn time.
@GossiTheDog Content is hosted on Youtube
@GossiTheDog They’re launching it on smart TVs first?! What a weird launch for a new platform.
@GossiTheDog well that's where all the racist, xenophobe and misogyny content will go.
@GossiTheDog Dude hates the media so much that he pays someone who host a show on his platform and *still* gets annoyed at that. Hmm.
@GossiTheDog I'm only 3 minutes in and I am amazed at how ..."glitchy" his wordflow is in answering even the earliest questions.
@GossiTheDog Oh boy, the blue checks are out in force trashing the interview...as far as the eye can see.
@GossiTheDog I didn’t think Don Lemon did a good job in this interview. He moved too quickly and raised questions about his judgement in my mind.
If Don Lemon is so concerned about hate speech, why would he promote and be on X? What is the difference between Elon showing hateful Tweets and Don Lemon showing them? Is Don Lemon arguing that he would have been better off not growing up in America?
@GossiTheDog I am not a fan of Elon Musk. That’s why I’m on Mastodon. But this interview - in my opinion - was a dud. It didn’t get to the heart of any problem. It simply opened Don Lemon up to valid criticism.
@GossiTheDog @campuscodi for a guy who said that people shouldn't care what the media thinks of them, he seems to care a lot about what the media thinks of him.
