Elon Musk May Try to Stop PS5, PS4's Twitter Integration Removal

Let Him Cook this time

I think if Sony were interested in negotiating a better deal (for example the API costs) they would have approached X before announcing this removal. The fact that they have already publicly announced this means that they are likely beyond the negotiation phase.

Twitter was always kind of a hellhole, but Musk taking it over has somehow made it worse. It’s a shame, because so many people use it as their main method of communication and contact with the world.

But I definitely understand why PlayStation would pull away from it, so as not to be seen as associated with the platform in its current form. Elon might offer up a truckload of money to keep the integration, but I don’t think Sony would accept it — and I don’t think they should.

@thedevilsjester I agree. This could be more than just an issue with API costs. It could be about brand image. The fact that new owner Elon spends all his time courting the most vile people imaginable on that platform may also have something to do with it

He's always "looking into" things

I don’t see what he could do if Sony has their mind made up. If the decision was just a veiled threat it wouldn’t have gone this far.

I do wish Sony would have replaced Twitter with another service though - Mastadon, Blusky, Spoutible, Threads - rather than just cutting us off posting. Yes I know YT is still there but it really isn’t the same.

The less connections that Twitter/X, or whatever it's going by at the time, has to anything whether it's tech, news, media or society in general, the better for everybody.

Translation: "I'll throw some money at them because I have no actual business sense"

Guy is a goofball.

For once, a rare Elon win IF he actually keeps his word.

But then again, this Elon we're talking about, a man child who constantly makes the worst changes on Twitter because one or two people made fun of him.

For someone claiming to get rid of "all the bots", he sure seems to post like a bot a lot of the time himself. How many times has he posted this exact same comment under tweets?

That aside, Sony wouldn't have made this decision without some sort of discussion already having taken place with Twitter. Evidently they were not happy with the outcome of that discussion.

Interesting, Concerning, I'll look into this … Elmo is just a broken, boring record at this point. Disregard.

@SoulsBourne128 "if he keeps his word"

Why break the habit of a lifetime?

@Blaze215 seems to be the way unfortunately, people seem to enjoy censorship these days...

@Ainu20 Uep,Wyle E. Coyote "super genius" sure seems to have opened the portal to spam, nutter & crypto bots much like when Walter Peck shut down the containment grid in OG Ghostbusters!🙄

Says he'll look into it,but will undoubtedly set his conspiracy bot army onto Playstation & just whinge it's all their fault.

Silence Musk! Down with this sort of thing!

Whats he gonna do, Hold Sony to ransom? A fool of a man

@Blaze215 I think it's more to do with the fact he's a lying, narcissistic egomaniac with a very thin skin who has no one but his own selfish interests at heart. A man that only steals other people's ideas and fobs them off as his own.

Musk could have just, you know, not torpedoed Twitter. He spent $44B for the company only to eliminate its brand recognition and reduce its value by about ~$24B.

@JB_Whiting Nah mate, haven't you heard, he's the people's champion of free speech! Or something. Also the richest man on the planet, so yeah, very much a man of the people.

Please Elon stop that removal. You are already my hero but with that you'd be my everything. Musk 4 ever.

@Impossibilium Elon Musk was doing good when he bought it in the beginning, and especially when firing a lot of the workers that did practically nothing but now it's just... what the hell is happening? Regardless though I'm happy regrdless since Twitter will probably die, something that's been needed for a long time.

His name needs a M at the beginning.

@Blaze215 I just think he's annoying.

Musk needs to keep his filthy hands off PlayStation.

Keep calm. Source of this article is alien hunting agency...

Musk is such a twerp. He should probably concern himself with not posting white supremacist tropes and theories and being a halfway functional human.

All that money, that power goes right to his head.

@Nepp67 That's why it's a mess there and he gets fined for letting fake news run rampant on his new little toy.

@thedevilsjester Given how many staff members Musk has sacked from twitter, may be sony did and no one picked up the phone.

I support X and Elon

I'm pretty sure there is a good reason for it or someone is getting fired.

@Blaze215 Oh please. The same man-child that silences other people? He's only against censorship when it's convenient for him lol. Much like the rest of them, he is a big ole hypocrite lol. Sony needs to leave Musk on read and don't return his phonecalls or DM's lol.

Far too much free speech on there Blackrock wouldn't like Sony doing that.

I'll call it Twitter until the day I die, honestly.

And how can he stop them, exactly? Who was actually using that feature anyway? Who's still using Twitter?

@nomither6 I'm not a big fan of this guy who is a massive liar.
