This piece is interesting. Reminds me of a little of endless.horse from a couple years back.

This was the name of Elon Musk's banking startup which later merged with PayPal. Elon acquired the domain recently, though we don't know what he will use it for.
Chrome no likey the SSL cert
X marks the spot.
Rhishi?
Best thing I've ever seen on HN.
Money well spent.
Didn't this used to be owned by PayPal?
ooh
From Wikipedia: On July 5, 2017 Elon Musk repurchased the domain name X.com from PayPal.[5][6] On 14 July 2017, Musk announced the "launch of x.com" on Twitter.[7] When the page launch it consisted of a blank white page with one "x" in the top left corner.[8]

Someone on Twitter suggested he use x.com as his Alphabet type of holding company, and he agreed that might be the best idea for it.
Sounded [0] more like a suggestion to use it as a list of companies he's involved in, not a company by itself...

A great throwback to the nicer and simpler web of the 90s that so many of us grew up loving. Informative, no-nonsense content, fast loading even on a 28kbps modem, no BS tracking and analytics and ads and popups.
I just finished a project where I tried to fulfill those ideals, but it still comes in at around 200kb.
It seems there's an open opportunity: single letter domain names see only very limited use.
I've just scanned through, and only x.com, q.com, and z.com resolved. q.com redirects to a centurylink setup page, and z.com is a japanese media group.
