Elon Musk loves to give surprises to the world, this time he surprised everyone through his tweet announcing the buy back of ‘X.com’ which was once owned by him in 1999.
Thanks PayPal for allowing me to buy back https://t.co/bOUOejO16Y! No plans right now, but it has great sentimental value to me.

According to Silver, Amanda Miller, Director of Corporate Communications at PayPal, confirmed that the company sold the domain name. “We are delighted to sell the domain x.com back to its previous owner, Elon Musk,” Amanda told Silver in an email.
Unfortunately, Amanda was unable to disclose the purchase price of X.com, and she was unable to share any further details about the sale due to company’s policy.
Excited to announce the launch of https://t.co/J6TuRWIQAA! It’s a little verbose right now, but that will be fixed tomorrow.

Right now, X.com is not resolving to any website, it simply showing X on its page. Holding Tesla, Tesla Energy, SpaceX, The Boring Company, OpenAI and Neuralink, one centralized spot to manage will be a good idea which looks like a good use and Musk liked this idea also from one of the tweet from Jonathan Wilkinson.
I’ve got a cool idea you can use https://t.co/ljwQcygY3f as an umbrella website to all your other companies.

That’s probably the best use
