    Elon’s X logo totally looks like the X Window System’s logo.

      His love affair with the letter X is wild. I’m not calling Twitter X, that’s embarrassing. What are tweets called? Exs? Retweets are Ohs? Like…

      Edit: Okay so I was shitposting and didn’t see this until now.

        It’s hidden sexual innuendo. Just like the Tesla lineup, S3XY.

      Zuck trademarked ‘X’ a few years ago. Elmo might have a nice legal battle at his hands shortly.

        There is some poetic justice given the way Zuckerberg has apparently steamrolled other trademarks like Meta PC and Threads.com.

        Hopefully the user-unfriendly corporate social media companies get so distracted fighting each other and destroying their own products that it gives FLOSS fediverse software a decent opening to get everyone onto the fediverse.
