However, Hwang tells me, he was also offered a new handle of his choice – as long as it’s available. He just hasn’t picked one yet.
Comment on Elon Musk and company take @x handle from its original user. He got zero dollars for it.

According to Hwang, the company now formerly known as Twitter did offer “an alternative handle with the history of the @x account” so that his original account, complete with its posts and followers, could live on and continue to be used.
What short, catchy username did Musk’s company change Hwang’s handle to? @x12345678998765.
You can’t make this shit up. God damn!

“as long as it’s available” is as good as nothing imho.

Let’s be real now. That name is temporary until he chooses his new one. Read the whole article. It’s rediculous enough without making things seem even worse.

Musk probably wanted to make it @x42069.

that sounds like what an idiot would have for a password.

So you are saying one could log into @x with that…
JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Quick someone check if it’s Elons password!
CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 1 year ago
Nah his password would definitely include an “42069” in it.
