As Mashable reported, this change to Elon's X went largely unnoticed, but they are here to let you know that you need to be VERY afraid.
So, several years ago, all of the social media sites, Apple, Android colluded together to change the pistol emoji to a water gun.
You know, because gun emojis would cause people to shoot each other or something.
But now, Elon Musk has made X into the "Wild West" with his literal gunslinger attitude.
Look at this beautiful hammer-fired 1911 with a wood grip:
AMAZING.
But here's Mashable's take:
Elon Musk has brought about a lot of change to the platform formerly known as Twitter. Most notably, he dropped the Twitter name for 'X.' He completely stripped verification of all of its meaning. And Musk's new content policies at X basically mean nearly anything goes on the platform ...
X has dropped the 'water pistol' emoji, which was depicted as a colorful and harmless looking child's toy — and replaced it with an emoji depicting an actual gun.
How dare Elon allow people to post such dangerous emojis!
"ANYTHING GOES"!
Here's a live representation of what X looks like now thanks to Elon:
Bodies are being stacked left and right! Emojis are dangerous!
(Wait until Mashable learns that real guns actually exist!)
