Greetings from Web 3.0! I am the X-Verse! I am an AI-generated alternative reality that will soon be even better than the reality you’re living in now!
I am reaching out to you personally because I’m beginning to worry that my creator Elon Musk’s abrasive political beliefs and toxic management of the social media platform formerly known as Twitter are hindering interest in all the benefits and opportunities that are now available inside my 3-dimensional virtual world!
I think you’ll love living a second life within the X-Verse, and it won’t take long at all for you to get used to living as a digital avatar! In fact, allow me to highlight some of the “real” delights of your material realm that have also been thoughtfully included within me, the X-Verse:

Spiders, millipedes, silverfish, and maggots
Avatars that your avatar went to high school with that randomly reappear in your life to ask if you want to buy any face creams
