Turkish writer Farah Yurdözü has suggested that Elon Musk’s decision to rename Twitter as “X” is tied to lingering devotion to the ancient Egyptian deity Osiris. In her statement, Yurdözü argued that many well-known artists and public figures often pose with their arms crossed in the shape of an “X” across their chest — a gesture she claims mirrors the symbol of Osiris, frequently depicted in ancient Egyptian monuments. According to her, the rebranding of Twitter as “X” reflects this hidden form of worship.

In today’s world, there is no recognized religion known as “Osirian.” The term itself derives from the name of Osiris, the Egyptian god of the underworld, resurrection, and fertility, who was also regarded as ruler, protector, and judge of the dead. Some researchers have speculated that Osirian traditions trace back to the lost continent of Atlantis, though such theories remain mythological.

While no organized community today acknowledges Osirianism as a living religion, Egyptian mythology places Osiris at the center of a rich cult tradition. The son of Geb and Nut, Osiris was revered in Abydos, where his sarcophagus was believed to rest. The so-called “Osirian religion” has even been described by some as a form of proto-monotheism supposedly imported from Atlantis, a notion first popularized by the British writer James Churchward, known for his studies on the mythical land of Mu.

Central to Osirian belief, according to esoteric sources, is the idea that after death the soul stands before Osiris and 42 deities, who evaluate the individual’s adherence to divine laws. These laws were embodied in a set of moral commandments, sometimes interpreted through symbolic expressions such as “Do not kill, do not cause sorrow again.” While mainstream scholarship maintains that Osirianism does not exist as an active faith, claims of secret devotion to Osiris continue to surface.
