x.com: the domain name of Elon Musk's second startup. It merged with Confinity and later became Paypal.

You left out that the product "PayPal" came from Confinity which x.com merged with.

Also this interesting bit:

"In September 2000, when Musk was in Australia for a honeymoon trip, the X.com board voted for a change of CEO from Musk to Peter Thiel, the co-founder of Confinity. In June 2001, X.com was renamed PayPal."
