[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.”

    Get ready for new shows starring Ben Shapiro and Gina Carano, or whatever right wing loser they manage to attract.

      No, the Daily Liar is already trying to push into mass entertainment. It’s more likely to have Fucker Carlson and Alex “I need money to pay my civil judgements for my lies about Sandy Hook” Jones.

    In 12 months when he gets called on it by debtors (since Shitter has no shareholders) he’ll try to buy Pluto TV and claim that was the plan the whole time.

      Well, my hope is appearance of [Xitter] TV as streaming service, will force other services to be less Xittier. Kind of anti-enshittification pill. But that’s about it.

        All the other services, at once: “Nah nah, hold my beer, WE are the shittiest of them all”

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.
