    X stands for intercept

    Reusable rockets started with DC-X. SpaceX's first contract was for DARPA's FALCON Project (predates their rocket name). They're not exactly hiding intentions.

      How does that work with SpaceX's product called X (formerly known as Twitter)

      It goes a lot deeper than that. The inventor of space-based interceptors actually traveled to Russia with Musk in 2001 and they formed SpaceX on the flight home
