Elon Musk has been pushing the X brand since before the turn of the century, starting with online banking site X.com in 1999.<\/p>\n
Musk has been open about his love of the letter X for a long time. Many people are only becoming aware of it now that he\u2019s folded one of the largest social media sites on the internet into his X plans.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the timeline of his love for the letter.<\/p>\n
n 1999, Musk and three other cofounders launched X.com.<\/p>\n
It was an online bank that merged with a competitor, Confinity, in 2000. That same year, Musk was voted out as CEO, replaced by Peter Thiel.<\/p>\n
Musk founded the Space Exploration Technologies Corporation, otherwise known as SpaceX, in 20o2<\/p>\n
Fast-forward to 2015, Elon Musk\u2019s car company Tesla introduced the Model X, a midsize electric SUV.<\/p>\n
And later, in 2017, Musk buys back the X.com domain from his PayPal days.<\/p>\n
The entreprenuer\u00a0planted the seed\u00a0for what would eventually be Twitter\u2019s replacement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
