Ah, some years ago I’ve read an article about him and his plan, but didn’t remember his face. The picture therein was something in the fashion of a mafia familiy photo.
I mean, it’s just registered with godaddy. If they were charging him more than the standard like $20 or whatever per year, he’d just move it to another registrar, no? The main cost of a domain is buying is the upfront cost if someone else already owns it, but that’s a one-time fee. Perhaps I’m sorely mistaken? I was under the impression Elon himself has the rights to it.
Not only that, I’d godaddy does charge him more yearly, icann certainly does not see any of that money.
I searched for “paypal elon” and found other angles
Assuming Elon is the guy on the right, I don’t see obvious differences to the left picture (except of course his hairline).

Apparently x dot com stayed with PayPal until 2017 when Musk bought it back. While we don’t know the price, it’s probably been in the millions

Aside from the initial purchase of the domain, wouldn’t the yearly registration be the standard registration renewal price?
