Meta already appears to hold the rights to 'X.' It could make Twitter's rebrand complicated.

Microsoft has it for Xbox, so it would be difficult to apply here.
Meta has it for a social media and I stant messaging app...
If they don't challenge this, they're basically giving it away for free. So they pretty much have to challenge
I think it might originally be for DirectX. Which is where the xbox got its name iirc. (DirectX Box)
You're correct. They used X in a lot of gaming stuff back then like Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Also they had some kind of window system that relates to DirectX. I think DirectX may have been named after the window software.
The X in DirectX is a placeholder, because it’s a suite of APIs.
DirectShow, DirectSound, DirectMusic, Direct3D, ect.
Its like “Direct____”
I never put that together!
