A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Wasn’t X the first name of paypal or something like that? He already owned x.com for a long time, i guess wanted to make use of that
Kinda.
Thiel backstabbed Musk before X became a thing, because he's a fucking weasel and Musk is a moron government contractor. It's also really funny he took the company while Musk was on honeymoon.
Paypal’s board brought Thiel in and ousted Musk. Thiel didn’t do that on his own, he was begged to come back.
