Thanks for the x.com history lesson.

I was actually wondering about the price Musk had to pay to acquire that domain name when I read your post.

LOL - Musk is probably sending $20 bucks a year to Go Daddy!

He bought the x.com domain name in 1999 with the idea of an everything app.

He wants it to be like China where they use the WeChat app. But the Americans are never going to go for that.

I’d like to forget twitter as well. Rebranding is a necessity, it’s a new company.

Headquarters...

May the bluebird of happiness nest in your beard.

Yeah, 1999, domain names were cheap. Now a single letter domain name would cost 5-6 figures. I’m still kicking myself for not buying up short domain names, single words, existing brand names etc.

Arrest him for election interference.

Jack Dorsey urges 'calm' after Elon Musk eliminates the last traces of his original company censorship.

Hopefully this will be true at some point.

Right! X.com goes into twitter

He wants it to part of the Musk universe. X is prominent in all of his branding. On this issue, he probably doesn’t care what the masses think on that one.
