x.org came first
At this point I’m starting to think that Musk has some weird kink where he gets off on people thinking he’s a complete idiot. I can’t imagine how somebody can make so many bad decisions in a row. I just imagine him locked in his office just getting his jollies from the collective internet making fun of him.
He is just very unaware.

He’s just lived so long surrounded by fawning yes-men that he thinks his own shit don’t stink.
Rebranding isn’t a bad idea tbf, but rebranding to x? Man call it xXgiga420socialmediaXx if you really want to be edgy and annoying. A more fair rebrand without jabs would probably be Bell or something since his other company Tesla is named after obviously the scientist
Rebranding one of the worlds most recognisable brands is a bad idea.
Well that’s the thing, he doesn’t want to be Twitter, he doesn’t want anything to even do with that brand name. So him rebranding is exactly a thing someone that got forced into buying it would probably do just to put distance between him and that original fiasco
I’ve heard this before, but I don’t know where this comes from. Why was he forced to buy Twitter?
He said he’d do it. He paid them to begin the process. He then tried to back out with a variety of tactics, including trying to say that Twitter was mostly bots.
The Twitter lawyers forced him to complete the sale because he has no valid reasons to cancel the contract.
This is a pretty good overall timeline.
He just did to fuck with the stock price like he is known to do but he went too far with the stunt and when he tried to back out he legally wasn’t allowed to; he was contractually obligated to buy it at the inflated price he claimed it was worth.
The TLDR is that he got pissy at Twitter, made some threats to buy it out, accidentally made some legally binding business decisions (making an offer to buy a majority stake of Twitter), and got sued when he tried to back out. So he had the choice of going through with his offer (which was about 45 billion) or get fined several billions and walking away. That’s the way I remember it all going down.
It’s just a spot on logo… Twitter is eX…
Literally a Unicode character:
U+1D54F
His next kids name.
Lmao
In addition to it just being a unicode char, as others have said, it’s also close enough the X.org logo that I’m guessing lawyers are already racking up billable hours.
You’re joking right?
An entirely volunteer run, open-source project scraping by on donations is going to have billable lawyers ready to go up against Twitter for this?
They did what at him? I think the headline meant to say, “Musk rushes out new X logo–it’s just an X that someone Xed at him.”
It’s just a blackboard bold letter from mathematical typography. Variables written in blackboard bold are often used to stand for sets, spaces, etc. — e.g. ℤ for the set of integers or ℚ for the set of rational numbers.
Musk probably saved $500k by getting some sucker on the internet to give him a logo for free.
The unicode consortium?
I thought this was just one of his drug induced sessions where he goes on Twitter and shit posts. But here we are!
It’s $\mathbb{X}$ or unicode 𝕏 (U+1D54F)
Maybe he really likes metric spaces??
