Just used the wayback machine and it looks like a few years ago it redirected to the Boring Company, so Elon has owned this for a while.

He's been doing X shit forever. He had a comany in 1999 that merged with PayPal. Then he has SpaceX. Dude is obsessed with that letter for whatever reason like he wants to be known for it, but I'll only recognize David X. Cohen, co-creator of Futurama, as the true purveyor of the letter X.
