But I think it is technically correct: There is both 𝕏 and 𝕩, not sure which one looks closer to the “formerly-called-Twitter” one, but they do look really close They do follow a way of writing that predates the X11 logo, I wouldn’t be surprised if the X11 logo itself was inspired by that too The glyphs appear just like that as part of the default Unicode typeface I’m using on my phone right now I think the part we should take from this, is “Elon just wrote an x in a ‘1337 way’, and called it a logo”.
