Apparently Elon has a thing for the letter X. SpaceX, naming his son "X ร A-12", and now renaming Twitter.
X.com was the startup Musk (and others) launched in 1999. It merged with another startup to create PayPal in 2000. Musk bought the X.com domain back a few years ago.
So yea, he's been obsessed with the letter X for a while. Other than SpaceX, there's also Tesla Model X.
Who could blame the greatest minds from being entranced by a mysterious "X"?
My personal favorite X
Not risking that click ๐
PS. Is Rick-Rolling allowed here, or was that just on R?
It's X from the Mega Man X video game series.
