Netizens started reacting and retweeting all over Twitter. One user said, “If X is the App for everything, the logo should include the infinite symbol ?” while another user said, “It’s the unknown variable. X marks the spot. There’s no other letter in the English alphabet that’s cooler than X. ⚔️”

As part of his aim to build a super app in the vein of China’s WeChat, Musk rebranded Twitter as X Corp in October 2022, a turbulent time in the company’s history.
