Site is down? The correct history is here:

- "On July 5 2017, Musk repurchased the domain name X.com from PayPal."

- "In December 2017, X.com redirected visitors to The Boring Company's website, which Musk also owns."

So the claim he bought it for Twitter is false

x.com redirects to twitter.com

He bought the domain 6 years ago. He clearly didn't buy it for Twitter.

Oh, my mistake. Sorry for the confusion.
