Astro Teller (born Eric Teller; 29 May 1970) is
an entrepreneur, scientist, and author, with
expertise in the field of intelligent technology.
He is also known as Captain of Moonshots at
his workplace.
What organisation does he head?
When he was in the eighth grade, the Mothers Club at
X's school used proceeds from a rummage sale to buy a
Teletype Model 33 ASR terminal and a block of
computer time on a General Electric (GE) computer for
the school's students. X took an interest in programming
the GE system in BASIC, and was excused from math
classes to pursue his interest. He wrote his first
computer program on this machine: an implementation
of tic-tac-toe that allowed users to play games against
the computer.

X is a news aggregator with an editorially driven front page,
aiming to select stories specifically for the Internet
audience such as science, trending political issues, and viral
Internet issues. It was launched in its current form on July
31, 2012, with support for sharing content to other social
platforms such as Twitter and Facebook.
It is a free online chat website that allows users to communicate
with strangers without registering. The service randomly pairs users
in one-on-one chat sessions where they chat anonymously using
the handles "You" and "Stranger". The site was created by 18-year-
old Leif K-Brooks of Brattleboro, Vermont, and was launched on
March 25, 2008. Which website I am talking about?

The name X is a quote from the last
line of Xin Qiji's classical poem
"Green Jade Table in The Lantern
Festival" saying: "Having searched
thousands of times in the crowd,
suddenly turning back, She is there in
the dimmest candlelight."
This term was a colloquial term for keynote speeches
given by Steve Jobs, former CEO of Apple, at events
such as the Worldwide Developers Conference,
Macworld and Apple Expos. Because most Apple
product releases were first shown to the public at
these keynotes, X's caused substantial swings in
Apple's stock price.

What is happening here?
The original inspiration for X occurred to Y in 2008 when
Jim McKelvey (a St. Louis friend of
Dorsey at the time) was unable to complete a $1,000
sale of his glass faucets and fittings because he could not
accept credit cards.
