If you are a healthy well-adjusted person, possibly never:-). After all, X is a letter not a name, and just about the least-used one at that (except Q, which is also co-opted now by the similar group).

If I were to suddenly declare that my name was now the letter "A", how much arrogance would be required for that, to straight-up steal an entire letter of the alphabet for my own personal use? But then for it to be "X" instead... he knows he doesn't deserve his own letter, he seems just hoping for someone to push back against him, though nobody will.

So it is not just you - his chaotic evil actions affect everyone who uses anything that he touches.

Not directly, but it's balanced by the traffic that talking about it generates?

Musk has been known to say... controversial statements from time to time for this reason.

Making sure that X remains relevant, living rent-free in all of our heads, is a huge benefit, compared to moving on and never looking back.

Edit: though to be clear, I didn't say it was a good plan - most of his plans do not qualify for that word imho:-P.

It is now, if you know what's good for you.

Bold of you to presume that Musk wanted less celebrity pornography on ~~Twitt~~ X.

The workers in question are employed by RaterLabs, an Appen subsidiary specializing in search engine evaluation. They are responsible for training Google’s search algorithm by testing search queries and rating the accuracy and relevance of the results.

Oh, yeah probably you're right.

Lolz!:-)

There are several women who would be alive today if they had done so...

Stubbornness can be a positively adaptive trait, but obstinacy in the face of facts not so much, and the same with squeezing your eyes shut REALLY tight to avoid knowing what is going on right in front of you.

It is like "even a stopped watch is correct twice a day - but that does not mean that you should trust the time that you see". It is possible, in more ways than one, to be both right yet also very wrong at the same time. :-P

Managers do all the real work, thus deserve all the compensation

- managers everywhere, every day

I may not know how to write programs, but I could still do a better job than people with decades of experience in doing exactly that

- these particular managers
