It kinda doesn’t make sense.
x¹= x
x² = x*x
x³= x*x*x
etc…
and even with negative numbers you’re still multiplying the number by itself
like (x)-² = 1/x² = 1/(x*x)

I’ve had it explained this way, maybe it’ll help. You are correct that x^2 = x*x, but it is also 1*x*x, since they’re the same thing.
X^1 = 1*x, and so continuing the pattern we get
X^0 = 1
