Jon Kent Hugging Injustice Superman Has Broken Comic Twitter's Brain In the latest issue of Adventures Of Superman: Jon Kent, Jon Kent hugged Injustice Superman, and Comic Twitter is up in arms about it. Why? Jon Kent has been something of a controversial figure since being aged up by writer Brian Michael Bendis. Fans loved the young Jon Kent and the series SuperSons, and losing that version of the character angered a lot of them. This was compounded by writer Tom Taylor being given control of the character. Taylor has a rather large contingent of people that don't like anything he writes, despite his place in putting out many bestselling, critically acclaimed comics. Adventures Of Superman: Jon Kent kicked off with Jon battling Ultraman alongside Earth-2 Superman Val-Zod. However, this story was changed completely when Injustice Superman came and killed Ultraman, bringing Jon to Injustice Earth. The series spent the rest of its run there, and it ended with Jon hugging Injustice Superman before Cyborg shot Jon Kent back to his Earth. This moment broke the brains of Comic Twitter, but if one really looks at their "outrage," it shows a fundamental misunderstanding of Jon Kent and the pitfalls of

Elon Musk really wants users to sign up for X Premium, the $8-per-month subscription service formerly known as Twitter Blue. He’s so desperate for people to sign up for the ad-share revenue program that the company has lowered the threshold to qualify.Now, you only need a paid X Premium subscription, 5 million impressions within the last three months, and 500 followers. In addition, the minimum payment threshold amount was lowered to just $10. Tweet may have been deleted These are pretty big cuts. Previously, in order to be eligible for monetization, users who subscribed to X Premium needed to have a cumulative total of 15 million impressions over the past 3 months. It's now been lowered by two-thirds. Prior to that, the eligibility requirements were even more stringent, requiring at least 5 million impressions per month for the past three months. The threshold in order to get paid was previously $50 as well.Shortly after the official announcement from the X account, Musk posted his own promotion of the changes. As usual, whenever he posts about the platform's creator program, he stressed that users had to be subscribed to X Premium and that only impressions from other X Premium subscribers count

Linda Yaccarino, the CEO of X (previously known as Twitter), has officially confirmed that video chat functionality will soon be introduced to the platform. During an interview with CNBC's Sara Eisen, Yaccarino mentioned that users will soon have the ability to engage in video chat calls without the need to share their phone numbers. This move is in line with Yaccarino and Musk's vision of transforming X into an all-encompassing application, encompassing features such as extended video content, payment services, and subscriptions for creators. This announcement comes after a post by X designer Andrea Conway earlier in the week. She wrote, "Just called someone on X," accompanied by four exploding-head emojis. While the initial post didn't explicitly specify whether the call was voice or video, it is now apparent that she was referring to video calls. It remains uncertain how X's video call feature will stand out in a market already saturated with video chat options like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Apple FaceTime. However, Musk and Yaccarino view X as more than just a social media platform. They are working to reshape it into a real-time digital hub for various forms of media, communication, and financial transactions. Yaccarino

X, formerly Twitter, is to get video calling as part of ongoing efforts to turn the platform into a so-called “everything app” offering a broad range of services. X CEO Linda Yaccarino announced the news during an interview with CNBC on Thursday. “Soon you’ll be able to make video chat calls without having to give your phone number to anyone on the platform,” Yaccarino told CNBC’s Sara Eisen. With pretty much every social media platform already offering video calls, it makes sense for X to finally join the party. But whether people take to the feature remains to be seen. X has been experiencing great turbulence after Musk acquired the platform for $44 billion in October, and Yaccarino was hired in June to steady the ship. But that’s not all, as the former NBCUniversal executive has also been tasked with transforming X into an everything app, something Musk has long talked about. The transition began in earnest last month when the company changed its name from Twitter to X. “The rebrand represented really a liberation from Twitter,” Yaccarino said. “A liberation that allowed us to evolve past a legacy mindset and thinking. And to reimagine how everyone, how everyone on

Newly released court documents have revealed that federal investigators successfully requested a search warrant for the Twitter account of former United States President Donald Trump. The documents also indicated that Twitter — now known as X — attempted to resist the warrant, ultimately resulting in the social media platform being held in civil contempt. The court filings, unsealed on Wednesday, stemmed from a decision issued by the US Court of Appeals in Washington, DC, on July 18. The court upheld a $350,000 fine against Twitter for failing to meet the terms of the search warrant. “Although Twitter ultimately complied with the warrant, the company did not fully produce the requested information until three days after a court-ordered deadline,” the decision reads. The warrant sought materials related to the @realDonaldTrump social media profile, formerly the ex-president’s platform of choice. Trump was eventually suspended from Twitter and other social media platforms such as Facebook in the wake of the US Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, when his supporters stormed the building in an attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Special counsel Jack Smith has been investigating the attack on behalf of the US Department of Justice, as part of a

Twitter, now known as X, objected to request originally and was fined $350,000 for missing court-imposed deadline.WASHINGTON − Special Counsel Jack Smith obtained a search warrant for former President Donald Trump’s long-dormant Twitter account in January, according to a court document unsealed Wednesday.A federal judge found Twitter, now known as X, in contempt and fined the company $350,000 when it initially did not comply.The revelation of the warrant is outlined in a decision last month from a federal Court of Appeals that upheld the judge's decision, The decision was unsealed in court Wednesday.“Twitter initially delayed production of the materials required by the search warrant while it unsuccessfully litigated objections to the nondisclosure order,” the appeals court's 34-page opinion reads.“Although Twitter ultimately complied with the warrant, the company did not fully produce the requested information until three days after a court-ordered deadline. The district court thus held Twitter in contempt and imposed a $350,000 sanction for its delay.”The Justice Department obtained the search warrant on Jan. 17, 2023 as part of its investigation into Trump. A district court found “probable cause to search the Twitter account for evidence of criminal offenses," according to the appeals court opinion."Moreover, the district court found

We need a bit more time to review everything for the next payout and hope to get all eligible accounts paid as soon as possible,” X said. The revenue-sharing model is active globally. According to the social media platform, its payment processor currently supports over 100 countries including Nigeria, Ghana, Egypt, Kenya, South Africa, and other African countries. “This is part of our effort to
