nuff said, nerds.
Bonus: and you thought SEO and finding search results for a name like "X" would be worse than Element and Matrix? Well now you can just type 𝕏 instead!
Everybody's google results are different and I watch a ton of movies but when I googled that - this horror movie was on the first page...

Yep so even beyond that personalization, I don't know the details of how each search engine works (I don't even default Google) but many will just interpret it literally as a normal 'x', especially if you don't write something like "unicode" or "blackboard bold" after it. Many search engines will 'normalize' the text to prevent things not showing up because you wrote naive instead of naïve, or 𝕩 instead of 𝕏.
There is a notable theory that Berkshire-Hathaway stock keeps getting bumped up by news-scanning and social-media scanning speculation bots whenever Anne Hathaway movies came out.
Maybe bots will think that people are horrified by X and disinvest.
