A while back, I got curious and looked it up because I wondered how any single-letter domain name could possibly still be available. (Forgive me if everyone but me has always known this.) EM has a long-standing obsession with the X name. Years ago, he bought x.com, couldn't find anything to use it for, and eventually sold it ... only to re-buy it at a higher price years later. By that time, he had bought Twitter, so now he had a use for his dearly bought x dot com.
Seems backward, doesn't it.

The whole thing seams crazy to me. If you don't like how something is operating, why pay a huge sum to buy it, just to change it about and give it a new name? Why didn't he launch x.com as the platform he wanted and go from there? The users were Twitter users. It's like a vegan buying a steakhouse because they didn't like it.
As for the name (x.com) It clearly means a lot to Elon, but not a lot to anyone else. Is it X is it 10 or is it just more Elon randomness lol
