Fun fact: π is actually a Unicode symbol, so musk canβt trademark it
That's not true, it absolutely can be a trademark. You might be thinking of copyright - he can't copyright the current π logo.
The rights you'd get from each protection are different and a sensible business probably would want both. Trademark protection would prevent another tech company trading as π; copyright protection for the logo would let you set terms on how it is used.
So in this case, I cannot open a company called π that uses social media to share elons flights, but I could open a company called Elon Tracker and use the logo π?
Yes, but if Elon opened a fledgling company to track himself with π money, he'd have a great arguement to take the name from you and do nothing with it.
No, those are both trademarks, you're associating π with your tech business (to the extent that Elon Tracker is a tech business).
But if you start a plumbing business you can call it π, because trademarks are industry-specific.
You might be able to get away with starting a business called XYZ and putting π symbols all over your website as long as it obviously isn't your logo.
Or you can publish images of people doing unspeakable things with the π logo. As long as you are not claiming to be π, you can use the π glyph however you like.
This is not true of the bird logo. You aren't by default allowed to reproduce it, so the company can allow you to, with extra conditions of their choosing. They can make you take down images of people doing unspeakable things with the bird logo, on the basis that it contravenes their terms and therefore is not covered by the license.
Yea I probably am
"Microsoft" is just a bunch of unicode symbols so it can't be trademarked!

You 100% missed the point here and the eye roll emoji just makes you look even worse
