    I just read an article saying Musk has bought xvideos.com. It didn’t say, but I’m guessing he means to turn it into something like YouTube. If so, that’s hilariously misguided.

    The man is a joke. As a designer who has done a fair amount of branding work, this is the dumbest rebranding attempt I’ve ever seen. I’ve dealt with some stubbornly clueless clients who had to be talked out of driving their brand off a cliff, but this is next level.

        Oh shit, that’s hilarious, too. Someone must have taken it seriously, because the article made my news feed with no mention of it being a meme. He’s such a joke, that’s apparently plausible. I bought it, lol.

          There’s a lot of bots that scrape comment sections to create shitty news articles.
