Of course Elon swiped the @X account out from under the person who'd had it previously. There was only one way this was ever going to play out.

Does the owner of the account have any recourse? I'm pretty sure that the answer is NOPE.

@evacide @X Waaaayyyy back when, I remember how the 1st time I heard about identity theft, it was the cautionary tale of this guy who was (I think?) @[email protected], who got his @q swiped, and also his gmail & facebook IIRC, and the scammers wanted +$1M in ransom to give them back?

And I was like, the fuck is gonna pay 7 figures for a twitter handle?

And I was also like, so wait, how does 2FA work?
