I really want X.org to get some massive compensation for Elon's theft of their logo.

Except their logo wasn't stolen.

X is using a standard Unicode symbol.

Is something like a unicode symbol even valid as a trademark?

Probably not protectable, no. It has to be in use in commerce and distinctive. That said, with enough money you can buy enough lawyers to warp reality, so who knows.
