I've been using a moniker containing two Xs for over two decades. Speaking on behalf of my early-20s self, how fucking edgy do you believe yourself to be as one of the world's richest persons embracing a single letter as the epitome of logos to represent your umbrella corporation? Hire a branding team, you pathetically dull gen-x neckbeard edgelord manchild.

Seriously, the '90s called a they want their X back.

Well, KaliDOS instead of Xbox, but still...

He doesn't need a branding team, he's too smart for that. That's why he is also sourcing a logo from the Twitter community. Because ~~billionaires~~ geniuses don't pay for anything.

Just wait until he comes after you for infringing on his trademark 😬

The alphabet will never be the same again. Sesame Street better lawyer up.
