Elon May Have a Huge Issue Because Microsoft Owns the “X” Trademark

At what point does the game Xcom become involved… That shit has been around forever, and is definitely very close to X.com

That’s… not how that works.
The brand isn’t “x.com” either, it’s “X”. They don’t even use x.com as a domain.
Even if it was x.com, a video game being called Xcom wouldn’t be close enough to the website x.com to be able to be confused. It would be different if they both were websites.

They do plan to switch to the x.com domain and already own it.

I thought elon owns x.com?

@SSUPII@sopuli.xyz · 2 years ago

Yup. Owned personally since 2017. It was his also around 2000, but he got kicked out and the domain was then owned by Paypal.

x.com is up and running now (redirect to twitter.com), used to be a GoDaddy placeholder just yesterday.

Never because that’s not how trademarks work.
