Mr. Musk may have successfully pushed Twitter's new name and logo, 'X', and even made the vanity domain x.com redirect to the social media website, but that's not to say, the Mathematical double-struck letter will fit the bill everywhere. Apple's App Store can't accept Twitter iOS app's new name due to minimum character requirements

    I think you’re a little silly for assuming that directly references Prince. I wasn’t even alive when all that stuff with Prince was happening and I had only heard it happened in a conversation I had with my mom when I was like 12. A conversation suddenly brought back to mind by your comment.

    That’s just kinda what you call something that was formerly known as something else when the something else is not well received.

      It was popularized by the Prince situation whether people know that today or not.
