Musk has been obsessed with this domain he owns for decades now. PayPal started as x.com, he's reliving his glory days.

x.com was a seperate company which merged with Paypal

And indeed if you open https://x.com you now get sent to Twitter

Seems that he wanted to put the domain to use

I would wonder how much did Twitter - the company - pay the owner of X.com (Musk) for permission to use the name?

Musk did not own x.com between 2001 and 2017.
