if you're wondering how @Twitter turned into @x, i spoke with the original @x (who had his handle changed to @x12345678998765)

Elon Musk took his 16+ year old username

Here's how it went down.

Mashable

@MattBinder @x "no money but you get to meet the Management"
How much cocaine did that idea take?

@Lazarou it’s like being offered to go out to dinner with your boss. The ego of Musk and his cronies is just astronomical.

@MattBinder No surprises there - he's too broke to pay for a proper logo, no way in hell he was going to pay for X handle

@hu_logic @MattBinder spent all the money on a website template

@MattBinder : of course he did.

@MattBinder @x Elon’s 5D chess plan was to destroy Twitter’s value so he could get @x for cheap

@MattBinder x gon take it from ya

@MattBinder @x Elmo's a dimwitted narcissist rando AND a thief.

@MattBinder @x here’s where having a PR department could help stop Musk from shooting himself in the foot every single day.

@MattBinder
So basically: ”You get NOTHING! You LOSE! GOOD DAY, SIR!”

@MattBinder @gvwilson @x An offer you can’t refuse because it’s literally a built-in feature of the site

@MattBinder they should give them the Twitter handle in return
