No, it changed ownership many times since 1999.
> On July 5 2017, Musk repurchased the domain name X.com from PayPal
They even took a little jab at him when it happened
> "We are delighted to sell the domain x.com back to its previous owner"

- gilleain 3y agoGiven the start of this thread was about N, C, X etc ... We could even say "2017 > 1999", giving an ordering over these numbers.
- mkl 3y agoI think you missed the point: the domain has not been in Musk's control that whole time, as I had thought. His company X.com had it, then PayPal got it when it was created in the merger of X.com and Confinity, and PayPal kept it after Musk left, but then Musk got it back.
- tsimionescu 3y agoThis doesn't contradict what you're saying, but note that the company was only re-branded to PayPal after Musk left it. I think it was just named Confinity after the merger.
- spread_love 3y agoI'm delighted to let you know that you missed the point. It was a very short comment.
- misnome 3y agoI'm sorry to be the one to let you know but 2017 was under two decades ago.
