Musk Requires Every x on X to Begin and End with X

In a shocking move that has left the internet in a state of confusion and outrage, Elon Musk, the billionaire founder of Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, and The Boring Company, announced on Monday that he is changing the rules of his social media platform, X.

X, formerly known as Twitter, is a microblogging service that allows users to post short messages of up to 280 characters, called x’s. Musk acquired Twitter in a hostile takeover in 2022, and renamed it X, after his favorite letter of the alphabet.

Musk, who is known for his eccentric and controversial tweets, or x’s, said that he is implementing a new policy that requires every x on X to begin and end with an X. He explained that this is to make the platform more consistent and aesthetically pleasing, as well as to honor his personal brand.

“X is the ultimate letter. It represents mystery, power, innovation, and sexiness. It is also the symbol of my companies, such as SpaceX and The Boring Company. I want X to reflect these values, and to be the most X-treme social media platform ever X,” Musk said in a video message posted on X.

The new policy, which will take effect on October 1, 2023, will automatically add an X at the beginning and end of every x posted on X, regardless of the user’s preference. For example, a x that says “Hello world” will appear as “X Hello world X”. Users who try to circumvent the policy by adding their own X’s or deleting the X’s added by the platform will face suspension or deletion of their accounts.

Musk said that he hopes that the new policy will encourage users to be more creative and expressive with their x’s, and to embrace the X-factor. He also said that he plans to launch a new feature that will allow users to send x’s to other planets, such as Mars, where he intends to colonize with his SpaceX rockets.

However, not everyone is thrilled with the new policy. Many users have expressed their frustration and anger with the change, saying that it is unnecessary, annoying, and ridiculous. Some have even threatened to boycott X and switch to other platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok.

“This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. X is supposed to be a place where you can share your thoughts and opinions, not a place where you have to follow some arbitrary and stupid rule. Musk is ruining X and alienating his users. I’m deleting my account and never coming back,” said one user, whose x appeared as “X This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. X is supposed to be a place where you can share your thoughts and opinions, not a place where you have to follow some arbitrary and stupid rule. Musk is ruining X and alienating his users. I’m deleting my account and never coming back X”.

Others have mocked the new policy by posting x’s that are sarcastic, ironic, or nonsensical, using the X’s as a form of protest or ridicule. For example, one user posted “X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X”, while another posted “X Cofveve X”, referencing a famous typo made by former President Donald Trump in 2017.

Musk, however, seems unfazed by the backlash, and has continued to post x’s that follow the new policy, such as “X I love X X”, “X X is the future X”, and “X Just X it X”. He has also responded to some of the critics, saying that they are “X-tremely X-nnoying” and that they should “X-cept the change or X-it the platform X”.

Musk has not revealed whether he has any other plans to change X or introduce new features, but some users have speculated that he might require every x to include a picture of his face, a link to his products, or a hashtag of his name.

X, which has over 300 million users worldwide, is one of the most popular and influential social media platforms, especially among celebrities, politicians, and entrepreneurs. Musk, who has over 100 million followers on X, is one of the most active and controversial users, often posting x’s that spark debate, controversy, or admiration.
