Elon Musk Evicts Twitter User with @x Handle

  • 11 months ago
When Elon Musk rebranded Twitter to 'X', user Gene Hwang thought he hit it big. Hwang held the handle @x for 16 years earlier, and many speculated he could profit from its value to Musk's rebranding plans. When approached about selling the account, Hwang expressed his willingness, but Twitter's management team, under Musk's direction, evicted him from the handle without offering compensation. The company claimed the account belonged to "X" and was not Hwang's to sell. Now using the handle @x12345678998765, he continues to share his views with his followers, though the new handle lacks the elegance of the original one.
