00:00 It's Benzinga and here's what's on the block.
00:02 When Elon Musk rebranded Twitter to X, user Gene Huang thought he hit it big.
00:08 Huang held the handle @X for 16 years earlier and many speculated he could profit from its
00:13 value to Musk's rebranding plans.
00:16 When approached about selling the account, Huang expressed his willingness but Twitter's
00:20 management team, under Musk's direction, evicted him from the handle without offering
00:24 compensation.
00:25 The company claimed that the account belonged to X and was not going to sell.
00:30 Now using the handle @X12345678998765, he continues to share his views with his followers
00:37 though the new handle lacks the elegance of the original one.
