Iβm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical.
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical!

Is this like when that Roman emperor named his horse as a senator, or are we not quite there yet?
The most sane interpretation is that Elon Musk was payed to dilute or destroy Twitter. I can't think of anything else that would make sense. Throwing 44 billion dollars on a company and then gutting it for everything that was valuable including a unique brand that had even its own verb? But the sad reality is probably that a 12 years old narcissist edgelord in the body of a billionaire wanted a vanity plate.
The theory of Elop destroying Nokia (consumer) makes sense, because he was at Microsoft, went to Nokia sold it to Microsoft at diminished value and stayed there for a good amount of time. But who would pay Musk for this? And how will he be compensated? Afaik, he's lighting a bunch of his own money on fire. Although, there has been a lot less news from him on Tesla and SpaceX, so maybe it was all a plan to keep him out of those spaces.

curl should especially live with a punycode version.
Unless the punycode from the OP is incorrect? From basic online tools, it looks like it simply converts to x.com
> X is the future state of unlimited interactivity β centered in audio, video, messaging, payments/banking β creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities. Powered by AI, X will connect us all in ways weβre just beginning to imagine. Audio, Video, Messaging, Payments and AI, all in a single product pitch. I guess then "X" is an appropriate brand for something that even the owner doesn'tβ¦

Because it's trendy to hate on Elon.
If he stopped making egregiously terrible decisions in public, the attention would stop.
This is the trump situation all over again. They hate him but they write articles about him every day and make sure we all know what he's up to even when we are actively trying to avoid him and twitter.

Yea, kinda feels like X.org would have a decent trademark case if they wanted to pursue it. Both the name and logo are really similar, and it seems like both companies are operating in similar enough categories that its not too hard to imagine there being confusion between the two.
Musk has the deeper pockets. I'm more worried about him suing x.org and winning.

Best-case (for him), Twitter as we knew it dies and he manages to turn the burnt-down ashes into something profitable enough to overcome that hurdle. Twitter per se cannot reasonably get out of the hole he's dug for it.
Though, arguably, the brand itself was a huge part of the value, and he just threw that in the trash.
You know a guy's going down a weird path when all defenses of his behavior amount to "I know the last twenty things he's done have looked insane and none of it's made any money, but he's got a secret genius plan, I swear! 5D chess!"
