    I can’t imagine how much the x.com domain costed him. Like I know most three or four letter domains trade hands for six figures sometimes since there’s so few

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-letter_second-level_domain

    Like apparently single letter domains are reserved so idk how he got one

    Edit: found out. He bought it from PayPal after they stopped using it for their brand years ago. $6.8 million dollars for a domain.

      He wanted PayPal to be called X so I’m wondering if he didn’t have this domain the whole time.

      Money. If something is “reserved” or even “illegal” you just need to pay more

For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.
