In recent weeks, a growing number of researchers and spiritual commentators have raised questions about the recurring use of the letter “X” in Elon Musk’s ventures, pointing to alleged numerological and esoteric meanings tied to the symbol.
From SpaceX to X Corp (the new identity of Twitter) and even his earlier company X.com, Musk has consistently gravitated toward the letter. To many, this appears to be a branding preference. However, a section of numerologists and spiritual critics argue that the letter carries deeper symbolic implications.
According to numerology traditions, “X” is linked to the number 24 (2+4=6) or sometimes reduced to 6, which some spiritual researchers connect to themes of balance, karma, or, more controversially, associations with dark or hidden forces. Others note that in ancient symbology, “X” has been used as a marker of the unknown, secrecy, or even a crossroads between light and darkness.
Critics claim Musk’s fascination with the symbol reflects more than just innovation. Nigerian cleric and commentator, Pastor Daniel Akinwale, described the trend as “a sign of spiritual darkness cloaked in technology,” warning that “symbols carry power, and the repeated invocation of X should not be ignored.”
In contrast, some analysts dismiss these interpretations as conspiracy theories. Tech culture expert Dr. Amanda Reyes argued:
“Musk uses ‘X’ as shorthand for the future, the unknown, and limitless possibility. Linking it to spiritual darkness is more reflective of people’s fears than his actual intent.”
Still, the debate continues online, with social media users fueling discussions on the supposed hidden meaning. Hashtags like #MuskX and #NumerologyOfX have trended in recent days, as people weigh in on whether the billionaire’s branding choices are futuristic creativity or deliberate symbolism with esoteric undertones.
Whether coincidence, preference, or something more, the letter “X” remains an enigmatic thread connecting Musk’s empire sparking curiosity, debate, and even concern in spiritual and cultural circles.
