No it isn't.
No... No it's not... But you can imagine what'd be like if it was, right?

Apparently Elon has a thing for the letter X. SpaceX, naming his son "X Æ A-12", and now renaming Twitter.
X.com was the startup Musk (and others) launched in 1999. It merged with another startup to create PayPal in 2000. Musk bought the X.com domain back a few years ago.
So yea, he's been obsessed with the letter X for a while. Other than SpaceX, there's also Tesla Model X.
But SpaceX at least is only short for Space Exploration Technologies Corporation
Yeah, nothing to do with a man-child giggling that it sounds like space-sex a bit.
What's next, Elon? Try to trademark the letter x?
Space X will rebrand to S
Tesla To E
Just so he gets his S E X "joke" on the second try.
AI he wanted to become the CEO of SEX al along. . .
Looks absolutely well-planned and not rushed at all, perfect alignment of the logo, proper copy. Definitely not just a hasty implementation of a fever dream.
Uh, Elon, did you just copy the X Window System logo?
No. It's from Special Alphabets 4. https://twitter.com/tomwarren/status/1683428660915625989?t=61yiSztLYwYk44zLQ1HVrw&s=19
What a special time to be alive.
saw this earlier from an old twitter tab, thought my browser had been hijacked with some extension. what an amateurish logo, looks like what a tiny business puts up on their wordpress when they have no designers & are only making a logo because they have to, definitely not what i'd expect from one of the biggest social media sites in the world. elon has been fixated on the whole x thing for literal decades now & that's the best logo he came up with?
Supposedly this is a temporary logo until they can create a more permanent one. It literally came from some random that tweeted at him (X'd at him? Lol). He asked for submissions and just chose one, maybe he accidentally laid off all the graphic designers.
man, the whole elon musk/twitter situation seems less & less real the more it plays out
