I don't think Elon Musk's Twitter account is https://twitter.com/ElonMuskAOC but rather https://twitter.com/ElonMusk so the account below that made the $69.42M bid is not Elon Musk's, even the account name is a little different.

The ease of accounts getting the blue mark made fraud much easier, which is one of the disastrous decisions taken by Eon Musk.

Changing the platform to X is a direction for Twitter to be bigger than a platform for personal blogs, but I wish I had launched the X service and integrated Twitter with it instead of changing the name of the service just as Facebook did with Instagram and threads.

Do you really think that this is serious?
This is a joke. "Nigerian prince phone number"? "69 hours". 69.42 million....
1.Buying and selling accounts is against Twitter's Terms of Service.
2.Elon Musk is the owner of twitter, he could simply ban/suspend/delete this X account and take possession over this username/Twitter handle.
Not the nicest thing to do, but who cares.

I kinda get Elon's plan to build a "super app", that will have many functionalities, but buying Twitter and totally changing it's brand, logo and business model still seems like a mistake.

[Yogee]

I wish this was just sarcasm but OP seems pretty serious with his post which I find funny. Did he miss the "Parody" attached to the name and the description that it's a parody account or he saw it but just do not know what it means?

[Adbitco]

I can't say with all assurance that this could be the Official Elon Musk Handle as I believe that check tag or marks are easily to get than before so whomever that got verified could be able change their profile details without any restrictions in my opinion. And from my understanding the write up looks like a cheap Nigerian scammer as I believe Elon Musk himself can't just go pm someone in the way without any sign to show. That's to say he can't write in that way as he is not a mad and a naughty writer who does things for a joke. But however, I might be wrong with my thinking as anything is possible if he could buy off twitter what more X.
Maybe he wanna buy X who knows if he planned  this to launch a crypto exchange.

[dothebeats]

Now this may look like it is a funny post. However, it is true that Elon Musk took the username name x from its previous owner (now the owner is using username (x1234567898765). It was all over the platform and people were asking if Elon bought the username yet the previous username owner never answered. The attached photo from op can be found on the reply on of the previous owner's recent tweets.

[Uruhara]

Based on what I read from some reports that Elon had taken the username @X from his original user without giving any monetary compensation but he thanked him and offered him a choice of X Merchandise and a tour of X headquarters. Handle @X's initial user was Gene X Hwang who was a one of the founders of event photo company Oange Photography, now the handle has changed to @x12345678998765.¹ But in this case we as Twitter users do not have any rights in the ownership of the handle name we use. so that Twitter can take the handle that we use at any time.

Looks like you are still new on Twitter

There's what we call parody accounts and then memes  
The word around was that the owner was just offered a selection X merchandise and a visit to X’s HQ to meet members of the team

Read this article before you just post false information https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/elon-musks-takes-x-handle-longtime-twitter-user-rcna96074

Why the heck Elon needs to ask the login info while he has the database for all the login credentials of Twitter account. Also how come they decided to that kind of odd price. 

Don't forget that "Nigerian Prince" line there which is a known scam method.

So I was right. I have been seeing tweets regarding this but I was not sure if it was true. However, you made a good point here about users not actually owning their usernames and can be taken away by the platform whenever they want. If it is true that Elon offered those things to the recent username owner then I think it was pretty generous of him and based on the previous owner's tweet it seems like he expected it to happen the moment X was announced.

[Peanutswar]

Elon already bought the twitter and one of the way he use is to gain income with the verified account and more, this x re-branding with the Twitter is part of the marketing strategy with the coin he will release which is becomes trend and get immediately dump by the investors, tons of joke right now in the internet so this could be a sarcastic or what even in my perspective I never trust elon anymore.

[icalical]

OP do you really think that's a real Elon Musk account, the display name clearly stated that it's a parody. And for the context, the username @X has already been taken over by Elon anyway, it's now used for the official X (the new twitter) account on the platform without the previous owner permission or any compensation.

Xtraordinary ain't it? Yeah, this is dead serious. Elon Musk did posted and same goes with Linda Yaccarino who's teaming up the X' squads on how they'll be teaming up to launch the futuriXtic X. Believe me, I bash Elon Musk a whole lot for so much experiments done with/ on Twitter.
Rules are meant to be broken and the upgrade or update of this X shit would be for the betterment and growth of the Twitter App.

69.42 Mill...ion! Holy Cow! That's woof. Godspeed to him, he better diversifies and not spend on hooker's.
You really should care because this is the richest man on earth making improvements on the App used by big organizations and big handle's likewise government. It would definitely control the markets. Lol

Whatever Musk has done despite all the critics he gets has always been for solving and improving human beings even though he gets self centered. Change is something people don't take easily, let's be open to see what Elon Musk has for us. He's no villain, ten times better than FTX owner wanting to escape prison.

[Flexystar]

This is crazy, at first I also got into serious mode after seeing the entire post and screenshots. It is as funny as Elon not being serious about running the Twitter itself. It’s hard to see how scams are easy to perform these days. The user with X username must have felt the same way as we did at first glance of reading the post. Though users are very careful these days and it seems he does have many followers so must be some sort of publisher or otherwise public figure to get it. He would definitely check the authenticity already.

[wheelz1200]

He is a known troll and honestly I am not going to put money into anything he does going forward.  Dude is a little unhinged to be running such huge corporations.  At a certain point all of this is going to blow up in his face.  He just likes to see his name plastered everywhere.  In the beginning it was funny but it's starting to get cringy.

[coinerer]

this is not the real account of Elon Musk this account controlled by another person so any tweet from this account is not fully truth . but yes this news is correct that Elon Musk is changed the Twitter logo because he love the present  logo. but yes alone mask was build a project X.com many years ago but that time that was that was not a big successfully. so now when Elon Musk is become a popular person he want to promote his emotional projection logo X though  Twitter. I actually  don't know why he doing this. but I think he has a great purpose for doing this. because he is a clever person he will not done anything without any big purpose

[bittraffic]

He is not serious about that. There is nothing serious about what he posts on Twitter. Why would he buy an account when he can just take that account himself, Elon doesn't care about reputation, he has far more concerned about his money and his Space X. The doge pumped when he did this, he still has influence over this coin.

What he is serious about is turning Twitter into X, he has plans to add an exchange and payment system to it.

[armanda90]

The X logo is a new look for Twitter for now after Elon Musk made changes in recent days, unpredictable with twitter social media platform at the future actually after acquisition and have been published with many new rule for Twitter user. Its not our business because Elon Musk have acquisition twitter with most expensive price but seems not comfortable as before when using Twitter for our social media platform.
Its seems not permanent with twitter logo change become X because has change later Elon Musk will change with other logo, did you remember when first time after acquisition he change with Doge coin logo? unpredictable what is in mind from Elon Musk because several time he changed with twitter logo and hasn't permanent change.

[o48o]

Now this may look like it is a funny post. However, it is true that Elon Musk took the username name x from its previous owner (now the owner is using username (x1234567898765). It was all over the platform and people were asking if Elon bought the username yet the previous username owner never answered. The attached photo from op can be found on the reply on of the previous owner's recent tweets.

Part where he took the account is true. Owner of @x account got zero dollars for it, which seems like an abusive move from elon. Imagine building your twitter account 16 years and then comes a billionaire and just takes it, and gives you nothing for it. But it doesn't surprise me at all, that's elon for you. How would you feel about the twitter after that? And yes i keep calling it a twitter and tweets tweets.

Priivate Message you are referring to came from a parody account pretending to be elon. Why would he pay if he can just take stuff?

[panganib999]

Bro's fascination with X is just on a different level it almost feels like it's obsessive, when he's an executive at paypal he wanted to name it x.com but he was kicked out so he was stopped, now that he's the owner of twitter he's doing all that he can to impose this change which is just idiotic cause twitter is a billion dollar name brand that he's changing for an edgy bullshit reason lol. Also OP he never paid the guy who owns the @x tag on twitter and just forcefully took the tag from him without any notification, which in my culture is collectively known as a massive "dick move". The screenshot you gave us is a parody account on twitter that's trying to impersonate him cause he's a stupid clown that shot his own foot with the verification badge bs and now everyone can impersonate someone they wanted.

[South Park]

elon musk change the twitter logo and he also offer to a guy he walt to buy a twitter account @x for $69.42M . What is the reason for his madness? Why does he like X so much? Or because this is his first project was x.com, that's why he has emotions in it  

It is obvious this is not the account of Elon Musk as it even has the word parody on it, plus when you take a look at the message they sent you can see they are obviously joking about it and you should not take it seriously, now I do not know why someone will offer that much money for that account even as a joke, but people do all kind of senseless things on social media these days that almost nothing surprises me anymore.

[TimeTeller]

The X logo is a new look for Twitter for now after Elon Musk made changes in recent days, unpredictable with twitter social media platform at the future actually after acquisition and have been published with many new rule for Twitter user.

We don't know his plans on this social media platform, maybe, he is testing the waters here how people will react about the change.
But I really thought what the OP wrote is true but just a parody and maybe that twitter user wanted to have fun with Elon's choices.
For those twitter users, it is your prerogative if you will still continue this social media platform or not. Anyway, he's not forcing anyone to use it.
He's got the power to change what he wants as he is the owner of it, so what then? A lot already left this platform, ask yourself, what's the reason why you're staying?

[Faisal2202]

the account of Elon seems to be fake because anyone could buy the blue tick and change the profile pic. But can not keep the same Username means the real Elon musk have @elonmusk as real username. But the username in the pic which is used to send the message is fake one.

There are high chances that this user after getting the account will scam the account owner and then he might propose Elon the deal of this account and if Elon liked it he might buy it though he is mad after word X. like in many Tesla cars, SpaceX etc. now Twitter. He used the word X. i think he really loves that X word which is for unknown or alternative as for X girlfriend.

Well, again, the username seems to be fake, so be careful if you are the one who receives the message.

[Nwada001]

The name alone should tell one that the account is a joke, but how come he is allowing such an account to survive in that space, knowing it's an impersonation and could mislead the public? I mean, those who will not be able to identify that it's not the real Elon Musk, and if the account controller decides to defraud people, a lot of people will fall victim to such a scam.
 
In the comment section of that post, I could also see another account for Mark Zuckerberg with the name tag (Parody. Maybe they are controlled by the same person, using the space to catch fun, as that's all I can see they are doing. Social media fighters.
 

[Fivestar4everMVP]

I wish this was just sarcasm but OP seems pretty serious with his post which I find funny. Did he miss the "Parody" attached to the name and the description that it's a parody account or he saw it but just do not know what it means?

To be honest, I am just coming across this thread and after reading and visiting the twitter account referenced by op, I was of the same thought, Op is pretty serious with the post so he clearly missed the parody part of the account he thought was the real Elon musk..
This shows the level of damage the blue tick generalization has done to the minds of the people, today, even scammers on twitter now have the blue tick, yeah, there are other color ticks to differentiate official accounts from regular users with a tick, but then, i feel that people are yet to get used to those new color tick, since many are already used to the blue one.

Anyways, the above does not justify this error from OP, he should have calmed down, verify the account carefully to make sure its the legitimate one, rather than rushing to post this on the forum.

[Wimex]

Clearly, while Mr. Musk has a vast number of unquestionable abilities, it is quite remarkable that managing a social network is not the most notable of these. It has been possible to see how, little by little, in search of making a kind of "positive transformation/transition", the only thing that it has managed to do with an interaction platform as iconic as Twitter was (is?), unfortunately, is to decrease its value in all the considerable aspects from the very symbolism of this network to, as has become quite clear, its economic value. I hope Mr. Musk's next venture isn't tied to social media. At this rate he will kill that market (just kidding).

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

This is not real; if it were Elon Musk, then why would it request to get the login details for the account first? In a case where someone is asking me for a deal and I really agree to that deal, he or she needs to pay first before I grant them the request. If it really was, and perhaps the guy with the X account agrees to sell the account, then let the disguised Elon Musk pay 70% of the original deal, and after the guy lets the account go to him, he can pay the rest. Better still, he can fly from his state to meet the original owner of the account he wants to buy and let them do physical business. This is not just real.

[knowngunman]

I wish this was just sarcasm but OP seems pretty serious with his post which I find funny. Did he miss the "Parody" attached to the name and the description that it's a parody account or he saw it but just do not know what it means?

The parody attached to the account is very obvious and noticeable. It would be insane for OP to pretend not seeing that. I would have to agree with you that he saw it but unfortunately he doesn't know the meaning. I once came across that post and I actually visit the x Profile to see what it contains.

2.Elon Musk is the owner of twitter, he could simply ban/suspend/delete this X account and take possession over this username/Twitter handle.
Not the nicest thing to do, but who cares.

This is tyrannical and Elon Musk is against oppression. Not a nice idea for a brand like Twitter to forcefully seize someone account.

[Princess_Devi]

After seeing this post what I understand is that some people don't have little bit of analysis skills. Thats why most people give their wallets seeds phrase to airdrop claims.

What you said earlier is true my friend. At least that's true based on the information I also got after some searching on this matter. But it seems that the social media community feels that Elon should give more appreciation or appreciation than that. Because after all a well-known Handle can be sold to fellow users at a fairly high price. Lots of trading on the subject. But yeah, in the end, the Platform owner is the one who has the right to take it without even having to apologize or thank the users who used it before. And in this case, X's party is still quite kind because it has offered several appreciations and special gifts such as visiting X's headquarters which of course not everyone can be allowed to do so.
