    What importance does an X have for Twitter? What does that represent? The censorship he employs after swearing to adhere to freedom of speech?

      He is a manchild who is still in the phase of thinking X is the coolest letter of the alphabet. Give it a few weeks and he’ll be obsessed with Q or Z instead.

        Musk may be erratic in other things, but his preference for the letter X is a constant, just ask x.com (1999), SpaceX (2002), the Tesla Model X (2012) or X Æ A-12 (2020).

      Maybe it’s Musk’s subconscious attraction to the “edgy” swastika. The Nazis had that at 45 degrees so it becomes a decorated X.

      “Someone tweeted at him” Narrative built for liability reasons.

      It’s a crucifix to taunt the masses due to how powerless we are against the elites and their pawns.

      For more contexts: St. Andrew’s Cross or the Saltire Cross.
