The absurd fact that there can be a trademark for the letter X -- in any context -- is creating lots of hilarity over Musk's bozo employees' failure even to check on this. (Seems Microsoft and/or Meta have relevant trademarks.)

What's really crazy is that the US Patent and Trademark Office granted a trademark on a letter for any purpose whatever.

The "intellectual property" system way, way out of control.

I added a hatnote to the X-men's fictional X Corp after Musk created a company with the same name.
