[Xitter] just announced a smart TV app for streaming video. Or, more accurately, that it claims it’s building one, with absolutely no launch date mentioned. The appropriately-named [Xitter] TV wants to be “your go-to companion for a high-quality, immersive entertainment experience on a larger screen.”

      Shitter is the mutually agreed upon pronunciation

        Multiple bankrolls from saudia arabia and other authoritarian instigators to cover this wager

    Imagine being so entrepreneurial that you think you need to buy twitter for way more than its worth in order to develop an app that does something entirely unrelated.

    Let me guess, the streaming services on it will be like DailyWire+, PragerU. What else

    Musk is all over the place lately, claiming his Xai bots are doing practical work in the factory already, and will be ready for mass deployment “next year”, Which ought to be his nick name now. “Next year Musk”.
    He also claimed a few days ago that robo-taxis were only months away.
    New model cars from Tesla planned to arrive next year, should be moved up to arrive this year instead.
    The man must be desperate or on coke or probably both, he has always over-promised and under delivered, but these latest promises are over the top even for him.

        Noo that can’t be it, he has said it’s prescribed and only a low dosis. /s
        Whatever he is on, I definitely don’t want it, seems he is getting more and more crazy.

      Fully functional robotic taxis are already here, they’re just not made by western companies. It’s doubtful musks will ever work at this point, his “fully-automated self-driving” is vaporware.

      Every time he says “this year” or “next year,” it’s at least 4 years away. He’s so full of shit that even his internal clock stinks.

      He’s blatantly stated as much before. He wants Twitter to be the everything app, the WeChat of the US

        He’s been saying it since the 90s. His “X App” is just the latest iteration of his want to create an all-encompassing “X” platform for everything from dating to banking.

    A smart TV app from the guy who pulled Disney channels from the Tesla app due to a bruised ego over a Twitter argument? I can’t wait for this to crash and burn.

      Or leave that one out. I don’t think there’s much value in adding right-wing video podcasts, racists, and Russian propaganda to Jellyfin.

    How is the X in xitter pronounced? Is it “sh” like in Xi? This seems to fit this time line, but it would be nice to have confirmation.
