What's is Musk's obsession with X?

It's his 'brand' he didn't invent PayPal he "created" a diffrent site x.com. which merged confinity to become PayPal. So it makes soke sense but a whole bunch of ******** on the side.

It's an X-social media platform

And the charging point breaks changes design after every year, requiring you to buy a new charging point that only Apple use.

Changes design every year, just enough so its incompatible. So you have to get a new charging point installed for every new model.

If it's anything like the magic mouse you're gonna have to flip it on the roof to charge it

Yep, to think he would have been 32 today had he lived. Was one of the sickest most depraved murders in British criminal history made all the worse being committed by two other children.

There are bumps in the road here too. The USA is approximately 3,000 miles across and we need more charging stations. I hear they're "working on it".
