And right you are OP. I've thought the X had some resemblance to a swastika but this is the first time I've seen someone actually realizing it graphically.

Also X in ASCII table is under 88. That might be another reason he is so obsessed about it.

88 is Nazi code for HH (Heil Hitler). H is the 8th letter in the alphabet.

Elon has been obsessed with X since the Theil/Pay Pal thing.
