I doubt this is lost on Elon, as much of Africa was sold off to colonisers on treaties signed with an X.

K you better not have just unearthed the REAL genesis and hidden meaning behind all this X bullshit...๐Ÿ‘†

Edit: sort of makes some sick kinda sense given his autocrat state-level investors... :/

And naming the Tesla models S, 3, X, Y, is a nice PR smokescreen that would help hide the previous theory.

He named the 4 models of Tesla cars Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y. This makes him appear to be juvenilly obsessed with X because of XXX meaning Porn. If it was indeed to hide the intent of him being obsessed with X because that's the symbol that was used to sell Africa to the colonizers, it worked because I was under the impression he was just sex obsessed, until I read the previous posters theory
