Lil Nas X takes pride in his troll-like sense of humor. But according to him, there’s no bigger troll than Twitter’s former CEO Elon Musk. Now thanks to the social media platform’s forthcoming new name change, Lil Nas X joked that their beef could come to an end.
Musk took to his profile to unveil a video announcing that the site’s new name would be changed to X. Musk followed up the video with several tweets with images of the company’s new logo. After learning of the new name, Lil Nas X couldn’t hold back his excitement.
