Script editor gui scripting finder BS

So running this from script editor activates the finder and nothing happens with the keystroke.
M1 mini 11.3.1
Accessibility - Script editor enabled
Full disk access - Script editor enabled

Code Block AppleScript
tell application "Finder" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Finder"
keystroke "x" using control down
end tell
end tell

So what to do??
Control-x normally doesn’t do anything in the Finder - what are you expecting it to do?
