Brand wars in tech are getting wild. A startup is reportedly making legal moves to challenge ownership of the "Twitter" trademark—yes, going head-to-head with Musk over the name he famously ditched.



Here's the twist: after rebranding to X, the original Twitter trademark might be up for grabs under "abandonment" arguments. If a company stops using a name commercially, others can potentially claim it. This startup seems to be betting that the rebrand left a legal gap.

The odds? Surprisingly not zero. Trademark law has pulled off stranger outcomes. Remember when small businesses won against tech giants over domain disputes? Same energy here.

What makes this juicy is the irony—Musk killed Twitter's brand himself, and now someone might legally resurrect it. Whether it's a publicity stunt or a genuine legal play, it's a masterclass in opportunistic strategy.

Worth watching how trademark courts handle this one. Could set precedent for how platform rebrands interact with intellectual property rights in the social media era.

Honestly, Musk himself chopped off Twitter's signature, and now people are taking the opportunity to swoop in. This script is really amazing.

Ha, this is what you call digging your own grave... Musk has shattered the golden brand of Twitter, and now someone is taking advantage of the situation to forcibly try to save it from a legal perspective. It's truly ironic. The logic on the chain is like this—once the ecosystem is broken, the boundaries of asset ownership become blurred. Whoever is faster can scoop up the bottom. This approach can surprisingly be reused in IP wars as well; I didn't expect that.

Haha, laughed to death. Musk himself killed Twitter and still gets his house raided? This legal loophole is truly incredible.
