Turns out “X” has already been trademarked. Try to guess who has it.

      Lol I thought maybe Celebrity Cruises might have had it… funnier that it is actually owned by Meta!

      How is this even possible though? X is in no way associated with Facebook or any of Meta’s brands. Can anyone just trademark a letter and not even use it? The fuck?

    3. His mama wouldn’t let them fight fight so now they’re gonna fight in court.

    4. I’m no expert, but when I read the trademark information, it seems to only apply to an X stylized a certain way.

      I thought Deadpool had the trademark for X?

      “The mark consists of a stylized letter “X”. The left side of the “X” is white and the right side of the “X” is blue. The shaded square carrier represents background only and is not a part of the mark.”

      Doesn’t really fit the description of the Twitter X.

    7. Big rebrandings are complex and cost a fortune because they need a lot of background work.

      Does anyone else own the name? Does the name sound right in multiple languages? Is there something else unsavory with a similar name? Can the name be trademarked?

      Even doing it the right way a lot of them are total disasters.

      Anyways nobody else owns “X Video” right? Totally clean name.

      This is not as clearcut a case as it looks because Elon has been paying for the domain name x(.)com since late 90’s when he tried to start up a digital banking business. Even though the business assets got merged into Paypal, Musk has been paying for the rights to the domain name all this time. He’s basically just been slavering away at a chance to brand something else into being called ‘X’ for about two decades.

      Zuck might be a heartless robot, but I’ve been enjoying his troll game lately.

    10. Musk has been silent since last night. I’m assuming he found out about this and has been losing his shit all day lmao. What a fucking loser.
