When the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, the wizard of innovation himself, decided it was time to rebrand Twitter, he did it seemingly overnight.
He went all-in and transformed the once-familiar blue bird into a sleek and enigmatic ‘X’.
Elon, known for his bold moves, didn’t just dip his toe into the rebranding waters.
He took a cannonball leap, catching even his own employees off guard.
It’s like flipping a switch and watching an entire virtual universe change its attire in the blink of an eye.
Talk about abrupt, borderline manic, and oh-so-entertaining.
If this transformation were any more sudden, it would belong in a Netflix special episode.
Musk’s life often feels like a scripted saga where each chapter outdoes the last.
This is just another day in Elon’s incredible life.
The man who brought electric cars to the forefront and challenged the boundaries of space travel is now rewriting the rules of social media branding.
No word or warning.
It’s like the baby cousin who woke up from a nap and started cussing.
As it turns out, Twitter didn’t even own the coveted @X handle.
Yet, when Elon wants something, he’s not one to shy away.
The previous owner, Gene X Hwang, had held the handle for a whopping 16 years.
An ardent supporter of Twitter’s early days, an early adopter who believed in the platform’s potential, Hwang was the face behind @X.
But who cares.
Elon just took it over, forcibly.
Reports reveal that Twitter took over the @X username and, hold your breath, offered its long-standing owner “some merch.”
In exchange for relinquishing his digital domain, he was promised a bit of merchandise and the option to move his followers to a new handle.
Yes, you read that right.
Hwang, who had been curating the @X identity for more than 16 years, was offered a deal that honestly sounded insulting.
He was given $0.
Should large corporations wield their power in such a cavalier manner?
Hwang wasn’t just a username holder; he was a supporter, an enthusiast who played a role in shaping Twitter’s early days.
What happened to treating your most loyal customers best?
And what does this saga reveal about the dynamic between powerful companies and the loyal users who sustain them?
This is what web3 peeps were hollering about.
When centralized systems controlled by large entities exists, they can do whatever they want, and the users will not have a say.
Should X have treated the @X takeover better?
Could the original @X have been treated with more respect?

Could Elon have handled it better?
