Elon's Twitter couldn't even successfully pull off a radio broadcast for Ron DeSantis, but sure, give him your bank account info.

Imagine lounging about on a lazy Sunday morning, after climbing the corporate ladder to be CEO of a $44B company, when you finally check your messages and find out what Elon got up to last night while high. lmfao

Yes? That doesn't mean no one besides Musk can use X.

Twitter is a word outside of the app as well.

Anybody can trademark a specific graphical iteration of the letter X. But you have hit upon one of the many, many reasons this is a stupid idea, which is that it's ridiculously hard to branch out if your brand is "X" because so much of the marketplace branding is already taken.

Like, image if Twitter X wanted to branch out into video game streaming. What are they going to call it? X-Games? Oops. X-video? Oops. Xbox? Oops. X-tream? Oops.
