Twitter’s new X logo wasn’t made by an in-house designer. It’s from an old podcast hosted by one of the cult that Elon took from his replies.

fonts are ridiculously cheap if you’re a billionaire. Musk is stupid, but I doubt he’d be so stupid he didn’t pay the like $200 fee.

If your font has the potential to be made into a logo, you would think the designer would have the sense to negotiate a higher rate. I have no idea if that’s how it is in practice, but to do otherwise seems quite foolish.
