A shame that the pioneering Japanese visual kei band stopped referring to itself as just "X" back in the mid-1990s. That would have been a trademark fight for the ages. (Or at least, the hair and costumes would have been more interesting than what Musk usually sports.)
X, the cowpunk band from Cali, would like a word with you. They were formed in 1980 and still perform.
As funny as it'd be, it needs to be something that could confuse a customer for that to be an issue. I don't think people are going to get a band and a social media site mixed up.
Technically true, but they could still have an epic argument about the ownership of the x.com domain name.
Like the nissan.com guy who actually won the right to keep his own site.
