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.

Nope, it's literally nothing more than the fact that Musk, like the cringey edgelord that he is, thinks the letter X is the coolest. He'll be painting go-faster stripes on Twitter next. Or the X logo will be on fire or something.
