I’m going to go ahead and assume the one person on X that you can’t call is old Muck himself. Wonder why?
Then again, X is such a shit show and Elon is so incapable of thinking two steps ahead of his feet that maybe you can call him lol
Only one way to find out
He might not consider it a necessary feature. I mean, not even his own kids want to talk to him.
My bet is he’d be too fucking arrogant and think people would genuinely call him out of admiration and he could create some viral moment showcasing how awesome he is.
My bet is this isn’t really about people calling each other, but more about exTwitter having access to users’ microphones and cameras and is turned on by default.
He’s probably left it on.
To be fair anyone can already call me with my phone number. Although it’s pretty anoying too.
I remember years ago a high school friend of mine freaked out because her phone number and current address showed up in one of those free people search sites. I asked her “Are you listed in the phone book?” and she said “oh… yeah… I am”.
This is a bit different. This is the equivalent of letting me call you right now because I know your username. I literally don’t need to know anything else about you, except for your activity on the site. That said I’m somewhat impressed. Impressed by how anyone would come up with something this stupid.
Why would anyone want this functionality?
I’m guessing this is so if Elon gets a negative reply to one of his tweets he can call that person up and threaten them or something?
Omg this might actually be a good reason to get back on twitter
