Space-X, X AE A-12, trying to create a company named X since the 90's...

guys, I think elon musk is obsessed with Speed Racers Racer X. Why else would X be such a prominent motivator for this creature?

Any theories? Deal with the devil made at a crossroads? Or maybe he just was really used to railroad crossing signs as a kid and wants to relive those memories?

Final fantasy X.

You know I had something typed up debating this, but being obsessed with Racer X does explain his family abandonment.

X is the naughty letter (rated X) in S3XY which is also the four tesla car model letter. 12 year old humor.
