Elon Musk-led X Corp. has commandeered "@music" from a long-time Twitter user, software developer Jeremy Vaught.

X terms of service has right to take back username. X ported his followers over to new account at least, he said. Vaught is still using X, though he did set up account on Threads and Mastodon.

    i’m okay with either of either of these since it reinforces the stupidity and futility:

    • x, formerly twitter
    • the company formerly known as twitter

      I just deadname it and call it twitter. I will continue to do so until it dies just like I do with facebook.

        This is the way. I mean, it still refers to ‘tweets’ as ‘tweets’ in the fucking app. What a fucking joke. Elon Musk is such a fucking piece of shit. I hope Zuckerburg beats the shit out of him.
