I can’t find the LaTeX command for the symbol below. Can anyone help me out to find this symbol? I wasn't able to find it with Detexify.

Well here is one that looks kinda like cheating, it uses amsmath only, though adding calc will make the definition much simpler:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\newlength{\crossl}
\settowidth{\crossl}{$\times$}
\newlength{\ceql}
\settowidth{\ceql}{$\times=$}
\addtolength{\ceql}{-\crossl}
\newcommand{\crosseq}{\mathrel{\makebox[\crossl][l]{$\times\hspace{-\ceql}=$}}}

\begin{document}
$f(x)\crosseq g(x)\crosseq h(x)$
\end{document}

Result:

One can also play around with the position and the symbols used:

\newcommand{\crosseq}{\mathrel{\makebox[7.7778pt][l]{$\neq$\hspace{-6.7778pt}\raisebox{-2.5pt}{$\backslash$}}}}

EDIT: Since this answer is chose I will add some more solution, this time using egreg's suggestion as poking around with boxes will likely create unexpected spacing issue:

\newcommand{\crosseq}{\mathrel{\ooalign{\hidewidth$/$\hidewidth\cr\ooalign{\hidewidth$\backslash$\hidewidth\cr$=$\cr}\cr}}}

or

\newcommand{\crosseq}{\mathrel{\ooalign{\hidewidth$/$\hidewidth\cr\ooalign{\hidewidth\raisebox{-2pt}{$\backslash$}\hidewidth\cr$=$\cr}\cr}}}

Result:

EDIT2: Add [l] option to \makebox in order to adjust alignment.
