Looks like the X11 logo, doesn’t it? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System
Earlier quoted context omitted.
This feels like a lot of decisions of Musk w.r.t. Twitter have been, impulsive and hastily implemented.

The problem is that you are saying Asperger's causes impulsive business decisions. Nothing in your quote supports that contention, and it's a terribly ableist thing to say.
In fact your quote suggests the opposite-- people with Asperger's tend to be bound to routine rather than impulsive.
I don’t really see what Musk is trying to accomplish. Everything he’s done to Twitter carries the foul stench of Death by Private Equity. No product improvements, but worse reliability, more spam, and a weird desperate-looking rebrand. This is what it looks like when inept MBAs try to squeeze some more life out of a dying platform. The strange thing here is that Musk’s acquisition was supposed to be the exact opposit…
It’s not a popular opinion on this site, and I’m probably going to be savagely downvoted, but whatever talent Musk had for business was eroded at least a decade ago by him surrounding himself with ego-stroking yes men. He drank his own cool aid.
A solid move to instill faith with advertisers that what is left of "the platform formerly known as twitter" will be stable, avoid confusion with their users, and be a brand-positive environment. What's everyone's timetable for either shutdown or sell-off of twitter, 18 months. Ad revenue will continue to shrink, effective 'cost per' rates will decrease while Ex-Twitter will try to squeeze out stable or higher, likel…
I’m sure he could raise a few billion via text message by the weekend if he wanted to.
Given Musk’s success in other ventures and no prominent Twitter competitor for journalists or government orgs to share quick breaking news updates, the show goes on.

He's playing with his own money, no different than Bezos losing money and 500K subs on the WaPo.
I think X represents closing a dialog/window or deleting things.
We'll see which one is more apt in the near future.
I hope that this will push government officials and structures to set up mastodon instances. Like one for the government where each agency has an account. Europe did this [0] and I find that it's a very good idea to have control over communication (plus since it's open anyone can do what they want with the data) [0] https://social.network.europa.eu/
“Mastodon’t”. I’ve never thought about or seen it before, but that’s a great name that all the detractors could use.
I feel like I'm watching The Producers in real life.
