Elon Renames Gravity to "X", Physicists File Complaint
The billionaire announced the rebrand at 2:14 a.m., citing "friction with legacy branding".
The Announcement
At precisely 2:14 a.m., gravity became X. No paperwork was filed. None was needed.
"Everything falls. X is everything," the post read, followed by a rocket emoji and a poll.
Reaction
Physicists at three universities issued a joint statement describing the change as "not how any of this works," which was immediately reposted with the caption "cope."
Airlines report no operational changes, though one budget carrier now charges $12 to be affected by X during descent.
