To be fair, no user "owns" their account. Everything about your Twitter account, from the user name to the data you tweet belongs to Twitter. I hesitate to call it a dick move. It's more of an Elon move.
I really hope phrases like "he got Musked" and "they Musked up" become a thing.
Right. Although I don't support it, but if the logic is that they can supress stories and say you don't have a free speech on a private platform, then they can take away your handle because technically it's theirs.
The user got Elon'd
Get Musked kiddo 😎
Someone wrote those terms and conditions though. So, still a dick move.
