According to Hwang, the company now formerly known as Twitter did offer “an alternative handle with the history of the @x account” so that his original account, complete with its posts and followers, could live on and continue to be used.
What short, catchy username did Musk’s company change Hwang’s handle to? @x12345678998765.
Let’s be real now. That name is temporary until he chooses his new one. Read the whole article. It’s rediculous enough without making things seem even worse.
But look at that username. It definitely not randomly generated. Someone at Twitter pick that new name. They just give someone with the shortest username possible (1 character) the longest possible username (15 characters), and they do so by pressing the number row back and forth until they hit the username characters size limit. If it’s not a mockery then I don’t know what is.
You can’t make this shit up. God damn!
that sounds like what an idiot would have for a password.
So you are saying one could log into @x with that…
Quick someone check if it’s Elons password!
Nah his password would definitely include an “42069” in it.
Did you try
xXx42069NoScopexXx?It’s the same password I have on my luggage!
He should ask for @twitter.

Musk probably wanted to make it @x42069.
All for the buzz I imagine.
Or for some hyper inflated fragile ego I guess.
Well that’s my guess.
