Unrelated but that looks almost like Twitter took this logo and flipped it horizontally

[TheRealPomax]

When in reality they just went "oh hey, double struck mathematical operators? Cool", typed "&1D54F;"[1], scrolled through their font picker, and then sent the invoice.

What're the odds that invoice has been paid?

Presumably, Elon Musk did it himself. Which isn't hard to believe considering his fascination for the letter "X" and that it is a common Unicode symbol.

The story doesn't tell if he paid himself to do that.

Reminds me of Adam Neumann charging WeWork 5.9 million USD for the 'We' trademark.

[dessimus]

He tried, but the courts made him give back the $56B.

It truly is the most mid, uninspired corporate logo I’ve seen in a while.

[TheRealPomax]

I dunno, remember the apple logo redesign?

[happytiger]

I do and that’s actually a great comeback because that was also deeply uninspired.

X is a server for every client app

[CyberDildonics]

Did you mean to reply somewhere else? This doesn't seem to relate to what they said.

[seabass-labrax]

I think it's a joke on the claim that Twitter would become an 'everything app' when it became X. The software X11, being a windowing system, actually is a system for running 'every app', in a way.

[snvzz]

X11 is a protocol, not a window manager.

[seabass-labrax]

Good point; I've edited my post so that it's more accurate.

[jbverschoor]

Yes that was the joke :)

[tsimionescu]

Maybe they were joking comparing the logo flip with the way X flips the regular notion of client and server (you run the X server on your machine, and you connect the remote app as a client).

[jbverschoor]

Yeah woops. There was a comment that said the X logo looks like this X’s logo, but flipped
