Wow, I had no idea. I asked GPT-4 about x.com and here's what it had to say:

> X.com is an online payment company founded by Elon Musk and Harris Fricker in 1999. In March 2000, X.com was acquired by Confinity, which had a money-transfer service called PayPal. Later, X.com was renamed PayPal, and under Elon Musk's leadership, it became the world's leading online payment platform.

> In 2015, X.com was sold to PayPal and Elon Musk bought it back in 2017. As of now, if you visit the site, it simply shows a single, lowercase "x" on the page. Elon Musk hasn't announced any public plans for the website.

I just don't have any words.

Why did you go to GPT-4 to get this basic history? It's mostly stolen from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.com and manages to omit 2 of the 4 founders names.
