It appears Instagram and FB owner Meta holds the trademark for "X" as it relates to "online social networking services... social networking services in the fields of entertainment, gaming and application development..." tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=87…
Readers added context they thought people might want to knowReaders added context
The trademark is of a stylized letter "X", which in this case, is Mixer's logo; not the actual alphabet letter "X". There are hundreds of trademarks for stylized letters of "X". Some of which include the "X" in the Xbox logo and the "X" in the Microsoft Excel logo. tmsearch.uspto.gov squadhelp.com/trademarks/X#t…
Context is written by people who use X, and appears when rated helpful by others. Find out more.

Flores says that Stephen Ross, the owner of the Miami Dolphins, offered to pay him $100,000 for every loss during 2019 season to help the team get a better draft spot. Was mad when they kept winning.

Flores' suit includes texts from Bill Belichick that appear to show him congratulating him on getting the Giants job, mistakenly believing he was texting Brian Daboll. This was before Flores' interview with the Giants took place.

Per CNN, 48M people watched last night's debate across TV. But here's a number that stuck out to me. Fewer than 4M of those viewers were age 18-34. It was an old, old audience.
