I wonder how much x.com cost to purchase, or if it was just a domain twitter/Musk had lying around.

He actually did, from Paypal days. Well he bought it back in 2017.

Curious if he sold it to twitter, I can't imagine parting with a single character domain for free.

He is twitter.

@lechatron And I wonder if Musk has the balls to try and buy x.org.
