I could make a glib comment about "Did he even think about what naming a company after a term that's difficult to search for will do?" but the answer is no, of course he didn't he doesn't think about anything he does with the company he was forced to buy because he impulsively tried to manipulate the stock price

I'm just surprised at the restraint to make the current logo be "a doublestruck X" and not a black X on a white circle with a red background, given his intended audience for Twitter.

Oh speaking of things he didn't check, Meta owns the trademark on X as it relates to social media

Can we change this board's name again?

I wish the article cited a date or a time for how long FB has held their X trademark. Given Musk's longtime obsession with the letter X, I really have to wonder if Zuck had this set up at some point in anticipation of Musk, just to annoy him.

Whoever's been unilaterally changing it has done pretty well so far; they should go for gold.

Personally I think we should change this board's name back to what we had originally back on Pyoko: Thad's Homobortion Communism whatever I can't remember.

Full circle.

The USPTO's search engine is astonishingly bad, but that looks like registration 5777374, originally filed by Microsoft in '17 and transferred to Meta in '19.

It is hard to find amongst the clutter of many other people that have tried registering "X" for every computer-related business field they can think of in the last few months.

Am I the only one who sees an issue with naming a company with the same symbol used to close things on computers? Close window, close tab, close app, close another sad chapter of your life in which you spend more money than most mortals will ever know on the stupidest shit imaginable, etc.

Man, it's a reference to an old meme AND it's a takedown of Christmas, my least favorite time of year and holiday?

You guys better be glad I'm not an admin, because I'd have already changed ALL the board names to it.

Okay, that's a lie. I would have changed them all to Air Bud. Which is what I did on the old boards and then they got fossilized like that. Fucking amazing.

Why don't we name it after Jack Kirby's concept of a place where children are trained to give in to hate and despair?

We'll call it The X-Pit.
