A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

That’s… not how that works.
The brand isn’t "x.com" either, it’s "X". They don’t even use x.com as a domain.
Even if it was x.com, a video game being called Xcom wouldn’t be close enough to the website x.com to be able to be confused. It would be different if they both were websites.
They do plan to switch to the x.com domain and already own it.
I thought elon owns x.com?
Yup. Owned personally since 2017. It was his also around 2000, but he got kicked out and the domain was then owned by Paypal.
x.com is up and running now (redirect to twitter.com), used to be a GoDaddy placeholder just yesterday.
