Is this referring to the new Twitter company that recently launched (https://twitter.now https://twitter.now)?
If not, then this is just going to lead to confusion.
- tyre 3mo agothere is no chance that people would assume this is about a startup that's about to get nuked by copyright cease and desists
- inigyou 3mo agoFirst off I think you mean trademark, secondly you're allowed to just ignore a C&D, thirdly your trademark is invalid if you don't use it so Elon might not actually have a trademark on Twitter any more
- urbandw311er 3mo agoI don’t think there will be any confusion. Clearly this is not referring to this random new Twitter thing you’ve linked to that most people have never heard of, it is referring to Twitter the previously global piece of software with hundreds of millions of former users.
- randyrand 3mo agoWell, I was confused. New Twitter got big coverage today [1] and then more Twitter related news on HN today too. [1] https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/08/new-twitter-launches-says-musks-x-gave-up-the-name/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/08/new-twitter-laun...
- orsorna 3mo agoWho in their right mind would take that site seriously?
- nozzlegear 3mo agoAre you talking about Twitter or X?
- orsorna 3mo agoWhatever twitter.now is which is neither.
- inigyou 3mo agoIt's Twitter. It legally owns the trademark "Twitter", the bird logo and the color blue. Musk really screwed up that one huh? Under UDRP rules it'll be pretty hard for them to seize their rightful domain name twitter.com, but maybe they'll manage.
