In a surprising move that has already generated a whirlwind of buzz, Elon Musk announced today that X (formerly known as Twitter) will now be called “The American Speech Society,” or “ASS” for short. Musk promises the rebrand will bring an era of “authentic, unfiltered conversation” to social media, with Joe Rogan appointed as the platform’s “Chief Truth Officer” to oversee this mission.
Standing next to Rogan at a packed press conference, Musk elaborated on the vision: “The American Speech Society will be the last sanctuary for real voices and real thoughts. No censorship, no filters—just pure, undiluted ASS.” Rogan, known for his no-holds-barred approach, added, “We’re finally creating a place for people who want to speak freely, where they don’t have to tiptoe around algorithms.”
The “Truth Signal” and ASS Membership: Elevating American Speech
The American Speech Society promises to put control back in the hands of the people through the “Truth Signal”feature, a tool that allows users to highlight posts they find most “authentic.” Posts with a high Truth Signal score will rise in the feed, showcasing the most “honest and unfiltered” voices. Early tests reveal that posts mentioning words like “freedom,” “liberty,” and “patriot” perform especially well under this new system.
For users who want to be truly committed members of ASS, the platform offers the “ASS Membership,” a premium subscription priced at $49 a month. Members gain access to Joe Rogan’s exclusive nightly “Deep Dive” sessions and entry to the “Founding Fathers Forum,” an invitation-only chatroom for high-level discussions on important topics. Musk describes ASS Membership as a way to “support the future of free speech” and promises that subscribers will have their voices amplified in the community.
With exclusive emojis, visibility boosts, and invitations to “Patriot-Only Events,” ASS Members are quickly becoming an elite tier within the platform, proudly displaying their membership badges. One member tweeted, “Finally, a place that values real American speech. Proud to be part of ASS!”
The ASS Marketplace: Essentials for the Authentic Patriot
In addition to exclusive content, ASS will feature a Marketplace where users can buy “Patriot Essentials,” handpicked by Rogan himself. The items, ranging from “Rogan’s Real Coffee” to the “Peak Performance Supplement Pack,” are designed for “those who live by American values.” Products like tactical gear, self-reliance guides, and American-made cookware are sold under the tagline: “ASS knows what real patriots need.”
“We want the Marketplace to be as authentic as the platform itself,” Rogan commented, noting that the products are specially selected to align with ASS’s commitment to self-reliance and strength. Early sales reports suggest the ASS Marketplace has been a huge hit, as members eagerly embrace the chance to “live the ASS way.”
Invest in ASS: The “Truth Bond” Initiative
For those who wish to support ASS on a deeper level, Musk unveiled the Truth Bond initiative, allowing users to “invest in the future of authentic speech.” Truth Bonds are financial instruments that let users invest directly in the platform, with potential returns tied to its growth and engagement. Musk described the bonds as an “opportunity for those who believe in ASS to put their money where their ASS is.”
Although financial details were minimal, early adopters have embraced the initiative. “This is more than just an investment; it’s a stake in the future of truth,” one user commented. Musk reassured Truth Bond buyers that their funds would go toward expanding ASS and supporting “Rogan’s innovative new projects.”
Building a Self-Contained Patriot Network
Within days, the American Speech Society has fostered a dedicated community where users describe feeling like part of something bigger than themselves. ASS Members proudly share their Truth Signal badges, with many calling themselves “Real Americans.” The platform’s features, including “Patriot Polls” and “Freedom Circles,” give members an exclusive feel and foster what Musk calls “authentic connections.”
“The American Speech Society is more than a social network—it’s a digital home for people who want to be themselves without filters,” said Musk. As ASS Membership grows, users are forming close-knit communities and friendships they describe as “life-changing.” Musk and Rogan celebrated the camaraderie, noting that “only on ASS can people be this connected and free.”
The Patriot Privacy Protection Plan
In one final announcement, Musk introduced the Patriot Privacy Protection Plan, designed to keep ASS data secure and independent. For a monthly fee of $10 (or $20 for ASS Members), users can protect their data from being shared with outside advertisers, which Musk described as “a small price to pay for true independence.”
“We’re committed to keeping ASS free from outside influence,” Musk explained. “Our users deserve a space that respects their privacy.” The response from ASS members has been enthusiastic, with one user commenting, “Finally, a social network that lets us own our freedom!”
ASS: A New Frontier for American Speech
The American Speech Society has captivated users across the nation, who see it as a refreshing alternative in today’s social media landscape. With features like the Truth Signal, ASS Membership, and the Patriot Privacy Protection Plan, members feel they’re part of a truly unique digital experience. As Musk puts it, “We’re building something revolutionary. ASS is about real voices, real people, and a real future.”
“ASS isn’t just a platform,” Musk concluded. “It’s a community—and a movement. This is the future of American speech.”
