X, formally known as Twitter, takes over (at)music account from user

It&#x27;s not exactly <i>new</i> that Twitter and others take over handles.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;jeremyvaught&#x2F;status&#x2F;1687537767671070737" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;jeremyvaught&#x2F;status&#x2F;1687537767671070737</a><p>The lesson isn&#x27;t that Musk is Bad (in this instance anyway) so much as your existence on a platform continues to be at that platform&#x27;s discretion.

The subhead is &quot;X user quits paying for Twitter Blue to protest X commandeering his account.&quot; That may not matter much to Twitter.<p>I&#x27;d lean towards a subhead of x signals product direction while angering some users.<p>One good thing is Twitter does move followers etc

The end of the story is that the guy is now a big Elon Musk fan.<p>So... nothing to do from Twitter&#x27;s perspective I guess.<p>+ The account didn&#x27;t seem to be active recently anyway
