Can someone explain what we are talking about here? Something having to do with Musk's son's name?
Twitter is rebranding to X.
It makes typesetting easer, pretty genius really! /s We're going to see a trend of companies using Unicode characters for their logo now aren't we?...
Ah so that's how we're supposed to Google for tweets now. "π something something".
π (U+1D54F) decomposes[0] to X (U+0058) meaning that if you search for π your search string will likely be automatically converted to the equivalent X. Of course, while a search engine could conceivably index and search the entire Unicode codespace internet wide, such a task would likely be somewhat unrealistic and provide only limited upside.

Does this affect the potential for trademarking the logo?
Absolutely. They can probably trade mark it for social media (unless someone already has), but are highly unlikely to be able to trademark it broadly, which clearly is the intention.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
He (or a company of his) has had the x.com domain for decades: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.com
No, it changed ownership many times since 1999. > On July 5 2017, Musk repurchased the domain name X.com from PayPal They even took a little jab at him when it happened > "We are delighted to sell the domain x.com back to its previous owner"
so it can't be copyrighted.
