I don't buy this theory — Elon holds the X branding dearly to an absurd degree and wouldn't burn it as an exit plan — but the question that I have is: how is Elon going to transfer x.com to X Corp? He reportedly owns it personally after buying it back from PayPal, so is he going to donate the domain to the newly-formed company or is he going to sell it to X Corp for a fee?

Right on. He wants to make it more than just a tweet message platform. He wants to make it his own personal portal. That will do X.

The price he paid is for the human traffic. Redirected to his world of interests

So, his pitch is: It is like X for X? For some reason, I like that.
