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.

Makes sense.
Elon undoubtedly has folders full of cool images he's saved, so while he was still focused on the "X" idea, he rummaged around and found that one and thought, "Yeah! This is gonna be sick dude!"
Thus are decisions made by the world's richest teenage edgelord.
It's well known that X is the edgiest letter.
Pssh, Z is the ultimate ending.
Im surprised he didnt use two Zs to make his logo.
And the ZZ's will be yellow, so it's easy to spot and be recognisable.
Could even flip them horizontally for extra spiciness.
Double ultimate! What can get more ultimate than that? Surely nothing.
I didn't know Slayers X was about Elon Musk.
H has just as many edges 🤔🤔🤔
Yeah, but they’re not razor edges like X!
E has more
I count 12, same as X and H, W has 13 tho
Truly the edgiest display server
