Twitter User @x LOSES Handle After Twitter Rename; Offered Tour and Merchandise as Compensation

— Gene X Hwang, known as @x on Twitter since 2007, knew his username’s days were numbered after Elon Musk’s recent renaming of the platform to “X.” Upon landing from a pinball tournament in Canada, Hwang found messages notifying him that the company had taken over his handle.

Donald Trump still wants to sue Twitter

Donald Trump STILL Wants to SUE Twitter Despite Getting Account Back

— According to his lawyer, President Trump still wants to pursue legal action against Twitter for banning his account in January 2021, despite it being reinstated earlier this month.

Twitter’s new owner Elon Musk ran a poll asking users if Trump should be allowed back, and 52% to 48% voted “yes,” with over 15 million votes cast. President Trump even shared the poll on his Truth Social account, asking followers to vote favorably. But it now appears he has no interest in returning as he is yet to use his reactivated account after almost two weeks.

Shortly after being reinstated, Trump criticized Twitter during a video speech, saying he didn’t “see any reason” to return to the platform because his social network, Truth Social, was doing “phenomenally well.”

The former president said Truth Social has much better engagement than Twitter, describing Twitter as having “negative” engagement.

To add insult to injury, it appears Trump still holds a grudge against Twitter as his lawyer reports he is still pursuing legal action against the company, despite the lawsuit being dismissed by a judge in May — he is appealing the ruling.
