You can't make this shit up. God damn!
that sounds like what an idiot would have for a password.
So you are saying one could log into @x with that...
Quick someone check if it’s Elons password!
Nah his password would definitely include an "42069" in it.
Did you try
xXx42069NoScopexXx?It's the same password I have on my luggage!
He should ask for @twitter.
"as long as it's available" is as good as nothing imho.
We'll a lot of people have left
Musk probably wanted to make it @x42069.
All for the buzz I imagine.
Or for some hyper inflated fragile ego I guess.
Well that's my guess.
Let's be real now. That name is temporary until he chooses his new one. Read the whole article. It's rediculous enough without making things seem even worse.
But look at that username. It definitely not randomly generated. Someone at Twitter pick that new name. They just give someone with the shortest username possible (1 character) the longest possible username (15 characters), and they do so by pressing the number row back and forth until they hit the username characters size limit. If it's not a mockery then I don't know what is.
