What a hard question!
I think the meaning of this statement is that anything that could not be x in the first place, can never be x ever.
e.g. whatever could not be true could not be true.

It has the same philosophical value as saying that A = A
It is the most sound argument that anyone could possibly have. It says nothing really. Only that things are the way they are. Actually it is my personal favorite argument since it is free from the true confusion that words imply. Constricting and generalizing all that is ever mean.

It means that whatever is not x cannot be changed to become x.

No deep meaning here, just plain fact.

X equals X.
And apples equal apples.
