      To be fair with that one, that’s purely Musk and his fascination with the letter X.

      When you’re one of (the?) richest people in the world, you get to do completely idiotic things and they never have any real negative impact on your life.

        Musk and his fascination with the letter X.

        is the letter X really all that fascinating? I can think of a number of letters far more fascinating than X.

        Like what’s up with the letter W? Shits kinda crazy, just a bunch of lines and shit.

        Literally everyone and their mom is sleeping on the letter Z…

        Oh, and don’t even get me started on the letter O. Just think about that for a second. Is it one line? Or 0 lines? Or an infinite line? Circles are fucking crazy bro
