Elon Musk buys Twitter and reshapes it as X

埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 收购 Twitter 并将其重塑为 X

Markus published a tweet today, in which he praised the X app bought by Elon Musk in October 2022 when it was still called Twitter. Later, he started rebranding Twitter as X, adding various new features to it mainly to attract content makers by creating tools for them to make long posts and live videos.

马库斯今天发布了一条推文，其中他赞扬了埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 在 2022 年 10 月购买的 X 应用程序，当时它还被称为 Twitter。后来，他开始将 Twitter 重新命名为 X，添加各种新功能，主要是为了吸引内容制作者，为他们创建制作长帖子和直播视频的工具。

Among new content makers was Tucker Carlson, a famous US political commentator who used to run the Tucker Carlson Tonight show on Fox News. After his contract was terminated last year, Carlson began running his show on X.

新内容制作者之一是美国著名政治评论员塔克·卡尔森，他曾在福克斯新闻频道主持《塔克·卡尔森今夜秀》。去年合同终止后，卡尔森开始在 X 上主持他的节目。

Musk created a tool set to let content makers earn a living by posting via the Monetization and Subscription features. X under Musk also charges users for verification checks, which many were unhappy about. Musk personally pays for the blue checks of American classic horror writer Stephen King and Star Trek actor William Shatner, who refused to pay $8 per month and threatened to leave the platform.

马斯克创建了一套工具，让内容制作者通过货币化和订阅功能发帖谋生。马斯克领导下的 X 还向用户收取验证检查费用，许多人对此表示不满。马斯克亲自为美国经典恐怖作家斯蒂芬·金和《星际迷航》演员威廉·夏特纳支付蓝色支票，后者拒绝每月支付 8 美元，并威胁要离开该平台。

Dogecoin co-founder Markus is one of those creators who receive monthly payouts for adverts placed next to their posts with big comment threads – this is how the Monetization feature works. But he also has subscribers who pay him monthly a few dollars each.

狗狗币联合创始人马库斯是那些每月通过在帖子旁边放置带有大评论的广告获得报酬的创作者之一——这就是货币化功能的工作原理。但他也有订阅者，每个月向他支付几美元。

DOGE founder daydreams about X metaverse

DOGE创始人对X元宇宙的白日梦

Under his root tweet, Markus tweeted that should X build a metaverse “we can virtually go to war with meta’s metaverse.” Meta’s founder Mark Zuckerberg is not favored on X, since Zuckerberg has copied Twitter threads in his recently launched app Threads.

在他的根推文中，Markus 发推文称，如果 X 构建一个元宇宙，“我们实际上可以与元的元宇宙开战。” Meta 的创始人马克·扎克伯格 (Mark Zuckerberg) 在 X 上不受青睐，因为扎克伯格在他最近推出的应用程序 Threads 中复制了 Twitter 线程。

𝕏 should make a metaverse that we can virtually go to war with meta’s metaverse

𝕏 应该创建一个元宇宙，我们实际上可以与元宇宙开战

Elon Musk did not sue him but offered a cage fight. First, several dates and locations were agreed on by both but later Zuckerberg quietly backtracked from this.

埃隆·马斯克没有起诉他，而是提出了一场笼斗。首先，双方商定了几个日期和地点，但后来扎克伯格悄悄收回了这一点。
