X, formally known as Twitter, takes over (at)music account from user

• whoknowswhat11 3y ago
  The subhead is "X user quits paying for Twitter Blue to protest X commandeering his account." That may not matter much to Twitter. I'd lean towards a subhead of x signals product direction while angering some users. One good thing is Twitter does move followers etc

  The end of the story is that the guy is now a big Elon Musk fan. So... nothing to do from Twitter's perspective I guess. + The account didn't seem to be active recently anyway

  It's not exactly new that Twitter and others take over handles. https://twitter.com/jeremyvaught/status/1687537767671070737 https://twitter.com/jeremyvaught/status/1687537767671070737 The lesson isn't that Musk is Bad (in this instance anyway) so much as your existence on a platform continues to be at that platform's discretion.
