Comic enthousiasts suspect Musk is a big fanboy of Professor X

[Starver]

It was originally an online banking company that developed into PayPal, which held the domain until Musk bought it back recently.

Anybody who puts money into a Musk payment system is probably gambling (so it probably paid off for them, before, but that need not continue).

And any "all in one" online payment/etc service is almost certainly going to service a niché or two, even if those providing/consuming have to dodge around professed usage-restrictions by the various 'innocent' MITM services.

Eh... it's just a unicode character? Very, very literally, the "Mathematical Double-Struck Capital X". I'm not sure I'd call it corporatist art at all, they klepped the thing basically unaltered from a friggin' font set. It's lazy plagiarism more than anything.

lmao that’s pretty funny

Updated the title

X beyond the frontier!

[King Zultan]

I wonder if Musk will just have an X on his tombstone since he loves the letter X so much.

[Strongpoint]

Will X start banning people who insist on calling it Twitter? It would be in Musk's style

[dragdeler]

It would be funnier if he had his programmers make every mention automatically turn into X, somebody let our memelord know before he does something stupid again.

That would be the absolutist free speech advocacy we're all expecting and used to, yes

As for the name maybe it's the initial of his favourite dictator

Xavier Bettel, Prime Minister of Luxembourg
Xavier Espot, Prime Minister of Andorra
Xiomara Castro, President of Honduras

I know it's probably too late, but I just want to comment that this is a wacky idea and if its not clear that he's turning twitter into a mouthpiece for his own interests yet, it will be soon.

That said, maybe he will find a way to make a profit on it yet.  Only needs .... something like 15 billion dollars now.  I heard he stopped paying twitter's bills

Really what all this means means, is that Elon got Norted.

[King Zultan]

Maybe he should change his name to X.
