His first website (or company?) was named X and he said he has a fondness for the letter, hence his son's odd name, SpaceX, and the rebrand of twitter. He just likes the letter X.
X Æ A-12 would be proud
that poor kid. He's gonna be teased so hard.
I think it's very appropriate to go ahead and call it the x-social media platform
Solid wordplay, good delivery, 10/10

I guess naming your business after your son is cool.
@Brainsick Sure sounds cool, but why? Twitter is well known name
Because he's a wealthy dingus who thinks he's a genius? Who the hell knows what he's attempting to accomplish. It'll definitely affect search engine traffic in a negative way.
I mean Facebook did the same thing. Maybe it's to help distract from some of the negative press they've been getting. I don't have any proof for this, and I kinda just made it up on the spot, but I could see it being the case. Either way, I agree it's a stupid decision. Meta at least had the sense to change only the name of the company, and not the well-known product itself.
SimpsonsFuturama did it
