X logo looks like a Unicode symbol and the lower-case x from a Monotype font.

Legal counsel has to be blowing their brains out as well. How in the world can you defend your trademark when it's a letter? Good luck playing wack a mole with all the copycats.

Not only copycats, but there's an Indian musician who has apparently been using almost 100% the same logo for the past two years.

Lmao, I can't see what's in your link because I don't have a twitter 𝕏 account.

A design patent & matching trademark should do. Can't protect the word mark, but as far as I understood, the name Twitter remains unchanged.

Especially since it's a letter from a specific font. I seriously doubt he secured the license to that font from its creator and from everyone who has purchased rights to it before he came along.
