I miss the days when that X font was only associated with Xorg...

Felon Tusk absolutely "loves" the letter "X"... uses it everywhere, even in his kids names... right...

Go lookup the unicode keycode for "X" in the latin alphabet... That number is also a common code number used by a certain group of people...

X is used in maths to describe the unknown in equations. It entered pop-culture representing the unknown/mysterious or the different.

Musk uses it to symbolise difference or breaking from the past, which is ironic as he is becoming the modern embodiment of failed ideologies.

U+0088 = HTS Character Tabulation Set. Latin-1 Supplement.
U+0078 = Latin Small Letter X (dec 120) U+0058 = Latin Capital Letter X (dec 88)
