No it's not a revenge play. A single letter domain is worth a king's ransom and this particular letter lives in his head rent-free; he wouldn't drop that anywhere just for nothing. Elon is obsessed with the mythology of X and wants to build an empire. He wants to own transportation, energy and communication and build some backbone to digital society.
- upon_drumhead 3y ago> In December 2017, X.com redirected visitors to The Boring Company's website, which Musk also owns. This was done in order to advertise a hat sale. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.com https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.com A sale on hats is his bar.
- superchroma 3y agoOk, but the counter-narrative is that he's apparently prepping twitter for sale, by making it lean. He is happy to goof with his things (hat sales), but he's not about to let x.com go away for peanuts, is my point.
- upon_drumhead 3y agoI haven't heard about selling twitter. It seems weird to me. I would think that the twitter brand is worth more than just a single letter domain name.
- superchroma 3y agoOf course it is. People claim Elon never wanted twitter, and that he was interested in trimming it up and selling it. It's my view that now that he has mated it with his beloved x brand, this is just not the case.
