I'm waiting for Elon to get rid of the twitter.com domain and forgetting to renew it, and someone swooping in and getting it. Because that's something that would totally happen with his track record.

That would be hilarious! Even better if it redirected to a Lemmy instance.

Maybe a mastodon instance will be more apropriate

There's a 30 day grace period on renewals before someone else can pick them up. I doubt even Elon is that dumb.

It happened to google.com before, so I definitely wouldn't put it past Elon or the skeleton crew keeping Twitter alive.

You underestimate his power.

Adding to my TODO list. Thanks for the great idea! I may own Twitter soon, which means I'll be filthy rich. Noice!
