Musk failed to get the necessary permits to change Twitter’s building signage to X, and the police shut it down just in time for “er” to remain. (mastodon.social)

Can we now start pronouncing X as 'errrr' when referring to the company? It would be good not to taint the good name of the letter entirely.

And it does say 'er' on the side of not-his-building.
