Here is another doozy from Musk. He ripped off the handle @x from a Bay Area resident just because he can. No compensation whatsoever. Another crook and scumbag like the creature at MAL.

Elon Musk and company take @x handle from its original user. He got zero dollars for it.

Quote:
Elon Musk took his next big step in fully turning Twitter into X on Tuesday night: The @Twitter handle officially changed to @X.

But, what about its original owner? Mashable interviewed Gene X. Hwang, co-founder of event photo company Orange Photography and the person who originally registered the @x handle on the platform more than 16 years ago, earlier that same day. Hwang told us at the time that he had yet to hear from Musk and company, but was hoping they could work something out when the inevitable happened.
If he can pay $47 Billion, can't he be a bit of a gentleman about this instead of ripping it off, though legally he may be entitled?

I am still wondering what the new company will be called? Just X or X dot com. Or how about calling it the Snake Pit with the Gadson flag logo?
