Musk has always been fascinated with the letter X.
This dates back to when he tried to name his second company X.com, which became PayPal. He finally got his way when he launched the Model X, one of electric car company Tesla's earliest models, founded SpaceX (even if the ‘X’ was relegated to a suffix) and launched his artificial-intelligence app xAI.
Most tellingly of all though, he named his youngest child X Ć A-12 - or “X” for short.
So this week’s rebrand couldn’t have come as too much of a shock considering his prior form. He even formally changed Twitter's legal name to X Corp in April, and now, anyone who goes to X.com will get redirected to Twitter.com. Though according to Musk, the primary domain for the service will eventually be X.com.
