Subliminal messaging has never convincingly been shown to work outside of specific laboratory conditions.

"Hey you! Join the Navy!!"
I think it's called X because of Space X. Which follows simpleton Microsoft pattern of thinking basic numbers and letters are somehow "cool" - Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One. With the next one everyone's mind will explode.
It's called X because that was the name of his first company before PayPal bough it. He wants X to be an 'everything app' including banking. It will fail.
I think microsoft named it the Xbox because of DirectX https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectX

icrosoft?
