What is X?
I feel like that’s a conversation you should have had with your parents by now.
"When a failing social media platform and a billionaire narcissist love each other very much..."
We’re going to send X to a farm upstate.
Really soft core porn. You need to get into the triple Xs to get to the good stuff.

X Window System (X11, or simply X) is a windowing system for bitmap displays, common on Unix-like operating systems.
It's weird that this post called it by the short name. The full name, as you typically see in articles, is "X (formerly Twitter)".
It's kinda like "The Artist Formerly Known As Prince". A few places tried to call him "The Artist", but no one ever knew what that meant.
"The formerly successful website known as Twitter"
A letter in the alphabet.
