Twitter’s new X logo wasn’t made by an in-house designer. It’s from an old podcast hosted by one of the cult that Elon took from his replies.

The 𝕏 is also a Unicode character:

Somebody was trolling Space Karen when they provided this for a logo. It's not going to be easy to trademark.
Update: Not only is the 𝕏 a Unicode character, a podcast logo, a font character, it also seems to be a Microsoft and/or Meta trademark for online social networking services.
2nd Update: Musk hired a company to remove the Twitter sign from the building in SF but neglected to get a permit. The cops shut the work down.
Space Karen's destroyed the internationally recognized Twitter brand, reduced the value of his $44 billion purchase by at least half, chased advertisers and users away, seriously diminished the value of Telsa and tarnished his own reputation enough that it may never recover. He is now going to either have to back-pedal or be embroiled in years of litigation. Good thing the "genius" doesn't pay his lawyers.
Hmm something tells me that Musk isn't very good at forward thinking.
Looks like some Lemmy apps confuse this link for /u/1
Whoops.
