Didn't this used to be owned by PayPal?

ooh

From Wikipedia: On July 5, 2017 Elon Musk repurchased the domain name X.com from PayPal.[5][6] On 14 July 2017, Musk announced the "launch of x.com" on Twitter.[7] When the page launch it consisted of a blank white page with one "x" in the top left corner.[8]

Someone on Twitter suggested he use x.com as his Alphabet type of holding company, and he agreed that might be the best idea for it.

Sounded [0] more like a suggestion to use it as a list of companies he's involved in, not a company by itself...
