Elon Musk and X Unveil a Dedicated Merchandise Store

— November 7, 2024 — Fashion
Elon Musk and X (formerly known as Twitter) have officially entered the world of branded merchandise with the launch of its online store. This online storefront allows fans and users to purchase exclusive apparel that reflects the brand’s new direction. The store, which is currently live, features a select but stylish range of products, including a unisex t-shirt and a trucker hat, both priced at $35.

The unisex t-shirt is available in a sleek black colorway and is designed with a boxy, relaxed silhouette for a contemporary and comfortable fit. The “X” logo is subtly showcased on the left chest to subtly showcase the platform’s new branding. Sizes for the t-shirts range from XS to 3XL.

Another key item in the store, the black trucker hat, offers a similar minimalist design with the prominent “X” logo centered on the front. Its breathable mesh lining ensures comfort, while the slightly curved visor adds a stylish edge. The inside of the hat is also branded with a repeated “X” logo pattern.

Currently, the merch store is only available to U.S. residents for direct orders, but X has stated that international shipping options will be introduced soon.
