TL;DR

Elon Musk's X Corp. is facing a trademark lawsuit from Florida-based social media ad agency X Social Media, which claims that the rebranding of Twitter to "X" infringes on its own mark. X Social Media argues that the use of the "X" causes consumer confusion and has resulted in lower search rankings for its own name.
