Remember when they took handle X from it’s original user Gene X Hwang, who had it for years? The renamed him to @x12345678998765.
User names are taken as easily as they are given. They aren’t worth any price unless you have some memes to spread.
But hey. Claim as many names as you like now. Apparently you get to charge 50k to sell them to those with more money than sense.
That’ll pay back those billions in debt!
In December, Musk indicated that the company would start freeing the namespace of 1.5 billion accounts soon, although no public announcement of that freedom has been made. Worth noting, DemandSage indicates that as of 2023 there are only 1.3 billion Twitter accounts on the platform as a whole, with only 237.8 million of them active daily.
Twitter set to be the first ever platform with -200 Million users!
Elon’s going to create 200 million accounts and sell their usernames for $50,000 each for $10 trillion profit!
Hmm. Interestingly enough, it’s about the same price as an inactive Cybertruck.
I’ll sell one for half that
This is so obviously something Musk would do that I fail to see how it counts as newsworthy.
