that poor kid. He's gonna be teased so hard.
His first website (or company?) was named X and he said he has a fondness for the letter, hence his son's odd name, SpaceX, and the rebrand of twitter. He just likes the letter X.
I like boobs. Imagine what the logo would be if I had bought Twitter.
I'd sign up to Titter.
You may be surprised to learn that Elon painted over the W in Twitter on the building in San Fransisco this week.
You mean a few months ago?
We need a boobs social media platform. Now that's a million dollar idea.
Booby is a kind of bird. So, I mean.. The logo doesn't need to be THAT different.
I think it's very appropriate to go ahead and call it the x-social media platform
Solid wordplay, good delivery, 10/10

The X is for Xtreme
I thought it was for the first thing I click when I find an open twitter tab.
I guess naming your business after your son is cool.
@Brainsick Sure sounds cool, but why? Twitter is well known name
Because he's a wealthy dingus who thinks he's a genius? Who the hell knows what he's attempting to accomplish. It'll definitely affect search engine traffic in a negative way.
I mean Facebook did the same thing. Maybe it's to help distract from some of the negative press they've been getting. I don't have any proof for this, and I kinda just made it up on the spot, but I could see it being the case. Either way, I agree it's a stupid decision. Meta at least had the sense to change only the name of the company, and not the well-known product itself.
