I mean ... could they just use Twitter since that's not in use any more?
Elon still owns the Twitter trademark, and can sue if anyone tries to use it.
How about Xwitter?
Doesn't Zuck the trademark to X, or was that just a joke going around?
Meta, Microsoft and literally dozens more, quite a few in fields that can already be argued overlap with Twitter and even more are going to keep popping up as Musk adds features to his "everything app". His only defence is probably going to be arguing nobody should be able to own a single letter trademark which would be hilarious. And absolutely disasterous to him.
