Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens OC_Formula, non-liquefied clue delivery! CTOnews.com, July 27 (Xinhua)-- Elon Musk (Elon Musk) pushed ahead with rebranding and took over the @ x Twitter account from San Francisco photographer Gene X Hwang without paying too much, according to foreign technology media The Telegraph.

The photographer joined Twitter in 2007 and registered under the name "@ x". In an interview, he said he was willing to sell the account.

But on Tuesday he received an email from Twitter informing him that control of his account would be transferred to Twitter.

As a financial compensation, Company X provided Hwang with X-related goods and the opportunity to meet with the company's executives.

"Company X did send an email saying @ x is an asset of the company," Hwang said in an interview.

Twitter's terms of service stipulate that users have no legal right to their user name and can delete their account in the case of trademark infringement.

CTOnews.com previously reported that Twitter did not actually have the X brand trademark after it was renamed X, and Microsoft currently owns the letter's intellectual property rights in video games, while Meta has "X" intellectual property rights on social media.

Hwang's Twitter account was then changed to "@ x12345678998765". Hwang did not express anger, tweeting: "the outcome is acceptable, that's it."

Hwang has previously said it is willing to sell the account at the right price, and single-letter Twitter accounts are mostly created in the early days of the site's launch, so it is considered to be very valuable.
