Mr. X? Feel free to gun down Elon Musk as much you want. Do it with sadistic glee with your Tommy gun! He brings shame to all Xs everywhere!

Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter may soon go through

Look, Elon, buddy, I get it. The '90s were great, with the grunge music and the flannel and the slapping "X" on fucking everything (we even started the X-Games then).
But, broheim, we grew out of that shit.

Elon seems like the kinda of person who would throw 44 billion the trash and then make me split the bill at tacobell.

Meta, Microsoft, hundreds more own trademarks to new Twitter name
Billionaire Elon Musk's decision to rebrand Twitter as X could be complicated legally: companies including Meta and Microsoft already have intellectual property rights to the same letter.

...The branding and SEO hurdles of X Videos is giving me a headache. Setting aside the needless sacrifice of Twitter's enormously powerful name recognition, it's practically begging to share search results with X-rated content.

I hope for the X-Men's sake that Elon Musk doesn't exist in the Marvel Universe
.We,, there is a lot of trademarks and franchises that use X as an important part, yes. But he wants to name the app literally just 'X'.
But according to crimson5pheonix you really can trademark a letter ...
So, if hundreds already "own" the letter x, then how is this a problem for the chosen one?Meta, Microsoft, hundreds more own trademarks to new Twitter name

If those hundreds of others aren't in litigation over it, then how does one more idiot on the pile make a difference?
That explains a lotThe Twitter Files are now The X Files
I propose Taibbi is Scully being the pretend skeptic who believe their partner with no critical thinking and Wiess is Mulder as she is the one who believes in one thing and ignores all the other evidence to their own detriment. That makes Elon Skinner and everyone else is the smoking man who point out how wrong Mulder is all the time
It seems no one actually owns the letter X. They basically all own only a logo that boils down to an X.
That is something twitter could do a well. But the downside is that their future trademark would only cover their logo, not even a slightly modified, inverted or off-coloer version of it. And it certainly would not be usable for any instance of X in plain text or any other medium where a logo is not present.
That makes those trademarks weak, borderline worthless. It would be difficult to use it even in cases trademark law is meant for.

One is more obscene than the others.
There's a joke to be made about X and people using twitter to cancel each other but I'm not witty enough to make it
I'm very disappointed I haven't come across a good "X Gon' Give It To Ya" joke yet.
I thought about it, but I figure Elon would take that as a compliment.
