Twitter’s new X logo wasn’t made by an in-house designer. It’s from an old podcast hosted by one of the cult that Elon took from his replies.

MODERATORS
Let me get this straight; you actually think Elon Musk, himself, combed through images he personally saved, found the X, and personally submitted it as the logo replacement.
Elon Musk. The crazy douche billionaire. You really think he sat at his computer and spent time doing that.
You don't think, maybe, just maybe, a man with more money than God might have gotten someone else to do it? I can see him being out of touch and not caring enough about quality to say "go with that one" without checking where it came from. But I just can't see Musk himself looking through fonts to find an "X" that he likes.
So... you didn't read the OP.
Yes though - I really do believe that he personally chose it, or more likely already had it in mind.
And then he played some Diablo IV, then jerked off, then played some more Diablo IV.
Yes. Yes I do.
