X Corp has absolutely zero authority to force anything. Only courts can and as we've seen in USA they're pretty meaningless too.

The longer you obey the more power you give them. Power they haven't earned.

Ignore X Corp lawyers. They're all overpaid losers who could never cut it. Most of them can't read above a sixth grade level. Sue me if I'm wrong.

Every time I bang an X Corp lawyer's wife she gives me a cookie.

Why do you think Ozempic prices are through the roof?!?

Same. I hated Twitter, though. You win some, you lose some.

X Corp is a dumb name

XCancel? How they cancel something nobody has heard of?

I think got to my 6th superflous X before I noped out of that article.

HOpefully nitter learns from this and doesn't try to copy the branding of the worlds uncoolest person.

Nitter predated the rebranding so there wasn't anything to copy.
