Go to twitter, noticed it's x now. Wondering about who owned x.com. Elon's not gonna be the first guy who registered it. Yet bingAI can't find anything before 1999. I check wayback.. first entry is from Dec 1996. A few characters here, it can't find out info about either. Here's the x wayback page. (web.archive.org)

He's been obsessed with "x.com" forever. He wanted ebay to be called X. I wouldn't be surprised if he bought it waaaay back in the day. He probably bought it back in 99 from some random dude back when it was easy to get short domain names.

"X.com was an online bank co-founded by Elon Musk, Harris Fricker, Christopher Payne, and Ed Ho in 1999 in Palo Alto, California. In 2000, X.com merged with competitor Confinity Inc., a software company also based in Palo Alto. Musk was attracted to Confinity because of its easy payment system."

I know very little about him other than he's a weirdo and not trustworthy in any sense.

I looked it up. Sure enough one of his 10 kids is named something stupid - "According to Musk and Grimes, his name was "X Æ A-12".

Poor kid.

Yeah but there's nothing about him getting it from whoever registered it.
