Elon Musk dropped on users over the weekend that Twitter was going to be rebranded as X. In the transition, many users noted that the X handle was already taken by someone. This week, Musk and X Corp. took over the X handle
Linda Yaccarino, CEO Of Platform Formerly Known As Twitter, Tells X Employees They Are “Writing History” With Rebrand; Users Don’t Seem Very X-Cited
Hwang had previously talked to the outlet who said they were awaiting Musk or X Corp. to contact him about his username. Hwang, who is a co-founder of Orange Photography, said the e-mail informing him he was losing his account came from the generic “[email protected]” address and not from anyone specifically working at the company.
Although many thought the user that had the @X handle would be getting a sweet deal in exchange, Hwang said they only offered “an alternative handle with the history of the @x account” as well as “some merch and to meet with management if I like.” Hwang said he is most likely not taking the offer to meet up with X Corp. management but will continue to stay on the social media platform. His username for now is @x12345678998765 and he already made his first post since the transition.
