I’m going to trademark * and then when the government processes it their computers will give me every trademark.

It's surely impossible. It's just the X out of a specific font.

The fact that it's just an X. Not a stylized X, barely can call it a logo. It's just an X, ripped out of a font pack.

Absolutely insane.

It's not even a font, it's just unicode.

The best part about this is that both the name and the concept have been tried before, and it is the reason musk was kicked out of what we all know as PayPal.

Them deciding to not be named X and "do everything" seems to have worked out, but maybe this time it will work, definitely.

We haven't had that spirit here since 1969.

If this really takes off and becomes the go-to app for everything like Elon wants, then future historians will come to refer to us as Generation X.
