Elon Musk rebranded Twitter to be
called X at the end of July 2023.
Now, a company called X Social Media LLC
is filing suit, The Verge reports.
According to the lawsuit filed on
Oct.
2, X Corp.
Has violated Florida
common law due to "unfair competition and
trademark and service mark infringement.".
X Social Media, which has continuously used its registered trademark since 2016.
Claims to have “already suffered loss in revenue that correlates with X Corp.’s
rebrand and use of the mark ‘X.’”.
However, law professor Alexandra Roberts says,
“In a crowded field with lots of ‘X’ trademarks,
it will be difficult to enforce against others.” .
The argument that will enable Twitter/Musk to get protection for the mark will be the same argument that impedes aggressive enforcement, Alexandra Roberts, a professor of law and media
at Northeastern University, via The Verge.
There are thousands of single-letter trademark registrations; many, but not all, of them are more elaborately stylized than the one that now appears on the site formerly known as Twitter.

Given the large user base on Twitter and
the number of people following and reporting on this rebrand, I expect it wouldn’t take very long to establish that the new ‘X’ functions
as a trademark and consumers associate
it with Twitter’s services or brand, Alexandra Roberts, a professor of law and media
at Northeastern University, via The Verge

Elon Musk is putting his money where his mouth is ... pumping $45 million a month into a political action committee backing Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential.. TMZ.com
Donald Trump was shot at today during an election rally in Pennsylvania. The former US President is reported to be safe and recuperating under medical care. However, conflicting reports are emerging about the incident. While Trump asserts that he was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of his right ear, law enforcement officials claim he was hit by glass fragments, possibly from a teleprompter broken by the bullets. This discrepancy has fueled conspiracy theories, with some social media users calling the event a staged 'photo op' for sympathy and votes. President Biden has condemned the attack as "sick," and tech mogul Elon Musk has publicly endorsed Trump following the incident. The true details of what happened remain under investigation.

The SEC relies on administrative
law judges (ALJ) to make legal conclusions
in cases brought before the agency.
The Supreme Court's decision has the potential
to send ripples through dozens of agencies,
from labor rights to energy regulation.
The Court did exclude from its decision those
agencies dealing with federal benefits, while some
conservative justices wanted the ruling to go further.
The three liberal justices
in dissent blasted the
decision by the majority. .
The case was brought by a former conservative
radio host and hedge fund manager, George Jarkesy,
following an SEC fraud investigation.

An in-house evidentiary hearing fined Jarkesy $300,000,
ordered him to pay back almost $700,000 in ill-gotten
profits and barred him from the securities industry.
Jarkesy argued that he was entitled to a jury trial
held in a federal court and that Congress lacked
the power to delegate such authority to the SEC.
NPR reports that Jarkesy's case was supported
by a number of conservative and business groups, and individuals such as Elon Musk.
