  It would be a nice thing to negotiate some solution or compensation, or maybe think about such issues before starting the manic rebranding. Of course technically the emperor can do whatever he wants, but this breaks established norms, and looks hamfisted.

  Just barging in to say that, in that particular case, no, they shouldn't have commandeered the handle. It's pretty well established now that this hasty rebanding is going sideways in more ways than one. Like, actually imagine being so dim as to reband to something already trademarked by your largest competitor. This ongoing Elon-saga really goes to show that, no, billionaires aren't actually the best and brightest. Anyway, all they've done here is strip a longstanding user of their handle that they've had and used for years, and Twitter will be forced to rebrand away from X soon anyway. They've just publicly alienated one of their own users for all to see.
