While he's at it, he'll probably start patent trolling Linux community for X window system.

Wayland: Can I come out now?

Coming out is not a valid use case, and must be implemented by each individual compositor with incompatible protocol extensions.

Does that sentiment include Xwayland, Xlib, and the X protocol? What's the alternative to X, the Windows Remote Desktop Protocol?

Aw man, I was trying to angrily shout racist hate speech into the void, but instead I ended up uninstalling Windows completely...

This confusion is exactly why Elon needs to protect his new trademark!
