Well, to subpoena her, anyway.

Musk wants to turn it into the
X Social Media Company .
He's doing a very good job of it.

The one in an industrial unit behind the railway station?

The new logo is a standard Unicode character in a standard font.
So it can't be trademarked, copyrighted, or protected.

Lol. Also, I see the Ukrainians are already having fun with it.
If you're wondering what the word is, well, it featured in the famous message from the Snake Island Defenders to Moskva.

I've only just stopping calling Opal Fruits Opal Fruits. My focus for the next decade is on not calling Marathons Marathons. I haven't time to stop calling Twitter Twitter.
Missed opportunity

The usage description of this mark seems to directly overlap with tw.tter's use case for it.

If Microsoft and Meta both have an existing registration for X, surely it's going to be hard to deny Musk his kiss (/vote)?
But I figure he could always add a space in front of the logo, " X" because he has that one already.
Maybe they should change the name of tweets to Xposés
But.. if he decides to do another right turn, would he have to rebrand as Y?

Looks like Meta paid Microsoft for their particular usage

It's really rather tragic. All these people seeing their work destroyed. I feel pity for everyone involved who isn't Musk.

MailOnline quoting that well known ex-Tory MP, Sir Michael Take...
Looks like they've edited it online now. It's a good follow up to their Damson Idris/Idris Elba familial mix up.

Twitter Blue, which Elon Musk is currently rebranding to X Blue, now includes the option to hide the notorious blue checkmark. Twitter Blue subscribers recently started noticing the “hide your blue checkmark” option on the web and in mobile apps, offering the ability to hide that they’re paying for Twitter

Perhaps they should supply the checkmark in a brown paper bag.
