Trying to trademark a letter of the alphabet used by several international corporations prominently in their trademarks, another Musk-tier move. Lawyers love him!
59also good luck searching up "famous person X"

Does this mean I won't be able to use the letter 'x' anymore because a multi-billion dollar company has trademarked it:
- Two people fighting will now be boing.
- When I want to bake some bread I will mi the ingredients together.
- When I want to leave a building I will eit it.
- I will now look up to the stars at night to see the magnificent epance of the Milkyway galay.
57just use "ks" instead, e.g.
- boksing
- miksing
- eksit
- galaksy
15elon musk and mark zuckerberg will be boksqing in a cage match neksqt month perhaps

Multiplication relegated to the scrapbooks of history. Pour one out for mathmatics.
9Roman numerals are out, I guess.

Oh boxing! Omg I'm an idiot lol
3See how confusing it's going to be. Thanks, Elon Musk, thanks for nothing you jerk!

I think boing is a pretty fun name for boxing actually!

Apparently the X used by Twi-- er, X Corp, is from a font that X may not actually have the actual license to use.
53Elon doesn't pay his hosting bills or rent, you think he's gonna care about something as inane as a license fee?
24Of course not, but it's worth pointing out :p

Of course not. Licenses are for the poors. The creator of the font will benefit from the exposure of being the logo.
/s
16"B-b-but I got it from dafont!"
-Elon musk, probably
10No, it's just a unicode charachter. 𝕏
4Funnily enough my friends were talking about this as well. Didn't know until afterwards.

47Hey, hey oh, hey oh
17But if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing's changed at all?

Elon is seriously speed running proving to hoggest of the hogs that rich people are not special or more intelligent. I absolutely refuse to believe even the reply guys with Musk’s limp dick perpetually stuffed in their various orifices can think changing a “successful” (at least well known) 20 year old company’s branding and name. Anyone even pretending to support this is absolutely coping. My brain cannot fathom the stupidity required to believe otherwise.
35Rich people are special, just not in a good way

Only geeks will understand
34Please enlighten me

It's like when MS stole the XInput name for themselves, too.

Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
28Does it almost feel like you've been here before?

i get it, its the X over the dead eyeballs of twitter as it is now deceased.
21What's the top image, is it some Microsoft x-windowing system?
18It's Space Karen's new name, and logo, for Twitter.
40Unbelievable… I bet he’s trying to make a conglomeration like Jeff Bezos and Amazon. Space Karen is a good way to put it.

Fuck X.org all my homies use Wayland
15The fact that this gets almost 500 upvotes makes me doubt the Reddit exodus, as this would mean most of us around here are Unix/Linux users.
13If it makes you feel any better, I thought it was porn.
9I’ve got a feeling a lot of Reddit is Unix/Linux users
5I highly, highly doubt that, unless you're including Android

Wayland ftw
12Wayland.social ftw, even X is promoting it
2
I've been using Wayland before it was cool
10yup exactly, i was joking about that on the Linux Mint discord earlier
4This is honestly the first thing I thought of when I saw X
4I guess his kid has to be called KS ÆA-12 now, for legal reasons
