- jacobedawson 6mo agoBest I can do is CurXr
- pixelpoet 6mo agoThe whole thing is Curxed
- prawn 6mo agoXursor?
- martythemaniak 6mo agoQuick! Both the .com and .AI are available!
- speed_spread 6mo agoCuxed
- foota 6mo agoThat's curxed
- llbbdd 6mo agoI'm putting it all on HaXor
- martythemaniak 6mo agoBecause Xurxor is free! If that's not a winning brand, I don't know what is.
- floatrock 6mo agoHonestly, just shorten it to Xor. That's actually not half-bad dev branding.
- selimthegrim 6mo agoI don’t know about you, but do you want Xenu and Zurvan’s love child in charge of your development?
- mayowaxcvi 6mo agoLaughed very hard at this. Well done. Feel like you must have made this observation a while ago and just waited for your moment.
- ValentineC 6mo ago> Why would Elon do this if he knows full well the names X-Code and Codex are already taken? Steal their Twitter usernames anyway, just like he did mine.
- Forgeties79 6mo agoStory time please lol
- ValentineC 6mo agoMy @valentine got changed to @valentine_ without my consent. https://web.archive.org/web/20150822195811/twitter.com/valentine https://web.archive.org/web/20150822195811/twitter.com/valen... https://twitter.com/valentine_ https://twitter.com/valentine_ (If any lawyers read this and feel up for taking this on contingency, I don't think I'm difficult to contact.)
- alasano 6mo agoWow and it's not even used. I guess they took it to resell on their handle marketplace?
- croddin 6mo agoWas likely for a grok avatar named valentine (https://grok.com/valentine https://grok.com/valentine) but they used https://x.com/v https://x.com/v instead which only ever made two posts all in October 2025
- c-linkage 6mo agoHe probably had plans to use it for some sort of Ender's Game crap but then realized that grok wasn't smart enough to do it.
- XargonEnder 6mo agoThe word Grok comes from the novel Stranger in a Strange Land where the main character is Valentine.
- hackernudes 6mo agoXCursor (Linux nerds know)
- verdverm 6mo agoOh man, not sure if it's a good or bad memory... but that was the first linux bug I experienced as a newbie. Not so much a bug, but an unknown config I had to change so my first monitor would stop turning off when I moved the cursor to the second monitor. Circa 2003
- dohyun-ko 6mo agoMusk might still miss his 1999 startup, 'x.com'.
- anticensor 6mo agoWhy not call it Xcodex instead?
- askl 6mo agoXxX_codex420_XxX
- jorl17 6mo agoNah, it's going to be XCursion.
