I forget x is Twitter and took me a while to figure out that X isn't a car model of Hyundai
X is a single letter most commonly used as a variable in algebra and other math courses. Also commonly used for loops when writing code.
Hyundai wouldn't be dumb enough to name one of their cars a single letter. Even back when Toyota had the Scion brand, they named their models the xA and xB, because naming anything a single letter is fucking retarded. Do we not have language in our society still? Must we revert to monke and just make single syllable noises?
I say, companies all around should start rebranding as single letters. Apple will be A. AMD will also be A. Samsung S, Starbucks also S. This would be hilarious to show how dumb Elon is.
X was a window system for Unix-like operating systems long before Elon Musk decided that would be a good name for the social media platform he bought.
yeah I'm gonna grab my h brand magic wand but its weirdly sweet and soft and tastes really good.
why dont we have gummy sex toys that vibrate?
