    Does elon still own the twitter trademark?

    Couldnt we just make a new site and call it twitter and make it the same as twitter used to be?

    It would really piss on his ego.

      If he’s actually serious he should also sell the domain so someone could host a mastodon instance on it

      It would still have to be some sort of social media site but I think so, yeah. The point of trademarks is to make sure you don’t confuse consumers. In theory you could make a restaurant called Twitter and be fine.

      trademarks have to be protected and used. Its likely you could reasonably win a trademark battle with him since he’s rebranded
