Wow. Nobody has ever thought of using an X in their branding before. What a brilliant idea. This man's vision knows no bounds. 🙄

It's just that he own the domain name x.com since 1999 and is very proud of it. He wanted to do something with it so here we go.

If this is true, this explains everything. What a child.

Don't forget he even named one of his children "X".

Bet he even made the kid just to name it that.

He is so intelligent. One day I wish I could come up with a name like X.

He probably was thinking "oh hey let's make it mysterious... What's more mysterious than x? Nothing! Solve for x! Right guys? Right? (everyone says yes since all smart people left the building).

Roman numerals. Twitter is now "Ten". Like Elon.

If you loved X, you're going to love X ULTRA. Soon to be followed by X ULTRA PRO, & X ULTRA PRO LITE.

Almost forgot. We are sunsetting X, and you will need to pay for X ULTRA in order to do anything on your X account.
