And it's true. X stopped being edgy and cool around when Nü Metal hit the scene. Elon Wants to be edgy and cool, but unfortunately he's a 52 year old white supremacist transphobe with more money than anyone has any right to have that he pretends to do useful things with instead of actually doing useful things, and the walking embodiment of divorce. He's probably the least cool, most edgeless, person to walk the earth.

He should have went for xXTwitterXx.

"Pretends to do useful things instead of actually doing useful things" is a great line. But I would add that he pretends to do useful things so he can get richer and have more influence.

Why solve problems when you can instead make money from them.

I think he’s the greatest human being to walk the earth.

That's pretty apparent.

Musk's logo for "X" is literally just Unicode Character “𝕏” (U+1D54F).
Which means that #Musk can't trademark the logo.

I guess I should start referring to Twitter as "Mathematical double-struck capital X"

Holy x-cow 2001

Fun fact! The haXe programming language was named as such in 2005 because it was short, simple, and "has an X inside", which the author asserts humorously is needed to make any new technology a success.

"What once was a symbol of subversion has been thoroughly assimilated by the mass market." 🧑‍🍳😽

I would say the next hot letter was “i” even if it didn’t have quite the longevity as X
